Pulau Bukom, Singapore

Pulau Bukom (GPS: 1.23492, 103.76483) is one of the Southern Islands of Singapore. It is located to the southeast of Jurong Island and to the southwest of Sentosa Island. It is about 5 km off shore from the coast of Singapore.

Pulau Bukom is presently about 1.45 sq km in size, but may continue to expand through land reclamation. Today the island, along with the neighbouring isles, is being used as an oil refinery by Shell. A view of the island shows a collection of cylindrical tanks. It has served the petroleum industry going back to 1891, when the Shell company began using it to store kerosene.

Due to the sensitive nature of the industry, Pulau Bukom is restricted from casual visitors. Within its vicinity are Pulau Bukom Kechil, Pulau Anak Bukom and Pulau Busing, both also developed for the petrochemical industries.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
