Tuas Naval Base was officially opened by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong on 2 September 1994. Perched on the western part of Singapore, it covers about 28 hectares of land. Apart from boasting over two kilometres of berthing space, its facilities include a floating dock with a lifting capacity of 600 tonnes and an Automated Storage and Retrieval Warehouse. A hive of activity, Tuas is home to several indispensable operational and support units.
