Bintan Resort Ferries operates the ferry connection between Tanah Merah in Singapore and Bintan Island in the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia.
The company was brought into operation in 1994, based in the World Trade Centre which is now known as the Harbour Front of Singapore. Bintan Resort Ferries catamarans operate at cruising speeds in excess of 37 knots and feature high-tech navigation and engineering monitoring systems to ensure a smooth journey.
Operating four catamarans, each of the two newer ferries have 300 seats, 57 of which are the premium option: Emerald Class. Passengers travelling in Emerald Class can skip the queues for immigration clearance on arrival in Bintan, and let specially assigned staff take care of the process for them, significantly reducing the waiting time. Added to the fleet in 2009, these ships are named Wan Seri Beni and Wan Sendari, while the original vessels are called Aria Bupala and Indera Bupala, holding up to 262 and 286 passengers, respectively.

"Bintan Ferry"
Ferry was on time and clean, a very pleasant sailing both ways. It would help if Direct Ferry’s explained that an Indonesian Visa must be purchased on Bintan for RPH500,000 in cash. There is no EFTPOS or Credit card facility at Customs on the island to pay this.

The check in process was very easy and the ferries were exactly on time both ways. The boats were clean and comfortable. A very good experience overall and we would recommend this service.

The travel from Tana Merah to Bintan on that particular day was quite a rough one (quite an experience), but the return trip was so smooth and uneventful. I would love to travel again in the future.
