keppel harbour

About

Keppel Harbor in Singapore is one of the world's largest container-handling facilities, situated near to the City state's Central Business District.

History

In the 1830s, the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Malacca and Penang) was a pirates' haven. By 1832, Singapore had become the busy centre of government for the three areas. It was also at this time that Admiral Keppel came to Singapore. This famed British sailor helped to clear the Straits of pirates. The harbour was thus named after him.
