Pasir Panjang's Ghost Ships?

fmd_good Pasir Panjang Terminal

I'm heading to Pasir Panjang Terminal next week for work, and I've heard whispers about abandoned cargo ships docked there, sometimes for years. Apparently, some are even rumored to be haunted...or a… more

Nah, the ghost ship stories are mostly just tall tales spun by bored dockworkers. There are a bunch of older, sometimes derelict, vessels moored there – Pasir Panjang is a massive port, after all. Think more rusting hulks than actual haunted galleons. The creepy crawlies bit? That’s probably closer to the truth. Bring extra repellent, maybe some DEET. And definitely wear long sleeves and pants if you're going near any of them. You'll be fine, though. Just don't go poking around in the shadows. You might find something...unpleasant. But nothing supernatural, I'd wager.

Pasir Panjang's Ghost Ships?

Depends what you call "ghost ships". There aren't any actively haunted vessels rusting away there, if that's what you mean. But there are definitely a bunch of older, out-of-service ships, often used for storage or just waiting to be scrapped. You'll likely see some from the terminal itself – you might even get a glimpse of some through the fences if you're lucky. Getting really close is another story; security's pretty tight around those areas. Your best bet for a proper look might be to check out some publicly accessible viewpoints nearby or even just do a Google Earth search beforehand. You'll probably spot something interesting then. Good luck with your work trip!

That's really helpful, thanks! I wasn't expecting actual ghosts, more like...the vibe of ghost ships, you know? The rusting hulks and the feeling of forgotten things. I'll definitely try the Google Earth thing first – saves me a wasted trip. Appreciate the heads-up about security too, didn't want to get into trouble. Looking forward to seeing some of them from afar, at least.
