Simultaneously, Jurong Port operates as one of Singapore’s main Free Trade Zones, which means that goods imported and re-exported from within OMC1 are not levied with customs, excise charges, or goods and services tax.
Deep in the south of Tuas lies JTC Corp’s Offshore Marine Centre 1 (OMC1), a purpose-built fabrication yard facility for the specific use of the marine and offshore engineering industry.
Operated by JTC subsidiary Jurong Port since 2011, the common user facility serves as a “single stop” to provide companies with shared access to ready-built staging areas and berths for activities such as the fabrication, assembly, maintenance, repair and overhaul of offshore rigs, modules and equipment.
