  • Several smaller islands merged into one big island. Mainly occupied petrochemical companies.
  • Construction of underground rock caverns to store crude oil, condensates, naphtha and gas-oil is expected to start in late 2006. Work on the caverns is expected to be completed by 2009. Total underground storage capacity could reach up to 3.2 million cubic metres. In the first phase, the caverns will have a storage capacity of 1.47 million cubic metres.
  • To raise its competitive edge, Singapore is moving to produce higher-value-added specialty products, including chemicals that would go into animal vaccines, animal feeds, consumer care items such as cosmetics and industrial enzymes that will support the biomedical sector. As part of this effort to move up the value chain, a Research and Development centre (Institute of Chemical and Engineering Science) has been set up on Jurong Island.
