Booking basics

Refunds, baggage and pickup notes

1

Batam Fast's own live schedule (effective 15 October 2026) lists 12 daily HarbourFront to Batam Centre sailings and 4 daily Tanah Merah to Batam Centre sailings, plus a 17:40 on Sundays only and a 20:30 on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. Two of the daily Tanah Merah sailings (10:20 and 14:30) are marked as interlining trips operated by Sindo. Other operators run their own separate timetables, so this covers Batam Fast specifically, not every sailing on the route.

Cancellation rules, baggage allowance and hotel pickup are set by the operator and the seller, and they differ more than you would expect. Read the terms on your own booking before paying.

FAQs

Singapore to Batam ferry questions

Which Batam terminal will I arrive at?
Batam has several, and they are spread around the island: Batam Centre, Harbour Bay, Sekupang, Nongsapura and Nirup Island all take Singapore sailings. The terminal on your ticket decides how far you are from where you are staying, so check it before arranging a car.
How often do sailings run?
It depends on the operator. Batam Fast alone runs about 12 HarbourFront to Batam Centre sailings a day and 6 more from Tanah Merah, and the other operators add their own departures on top. There is no single combined timetable, so check availability for your date with whichever operator you book.
Is there a time difference between Singapore and the islands?
Yes, one hour. Batam, Bintan and Karimun are on Western Indonesian Time, which is an hour behind Singapore. It catches people out on same-day flight connections, so work from the local time printed on each leg of your ticket.
