About Tuas, Singapore

Tuas, Singapore is one of the most connected submarine cable landing points in Singapore. 16 international cable systems come ashore here, and together they reach 37 other countries across Oceania, Asia, the Caribbean and Central America and North America. Few landing points on any continent connect directly to as many.

Why cable lands at Tuas

Tuas is a planning area located within the West Region of Singapore. Its 16 systems give Tuas direct international reach to Guam, Indonesia, Japan and Philippines and beyond (37 countries in all), the role that justified building international cable here rather than routing through an inland neighbour.

Where its cables reach

The systems in detail

The roster spans 24 years of build-out, from i2i Cable Network (i2icn) (2002) to SeaMeWe-6 (2026). Documented capacity and vintage vary across the roster: Apricot (11,972 km and in service since 2025), Asia Direct Cable (ADC) (9,988 km and in service since 2024), Bifrost (19,888 km and in service since 2025), i2i Cable Network (i2icn) (3,200 km and in service since 2002), India Asia Xpress (IAX) (5,791 km and in service since 2024), INDIGO-West (4,600 km and in service since 2019), Indonesia Global Gateway (IGG) System (5,300 km and in service since 2018), INSICA (100 km and in service since 2026), MIST (8,100 km and in service since 2024) and PEACE Cable (25,000 km and in service since 2022). Facts for every system are on its own cable page.

What the concentration means for resilience

With 16 independent systems, Singapore has real redundancy through this point: no single cable cut isolates it from the destinations they share. The exposure is specific: the link to North America rests on a single cable, with no sibling landing alongside it. Because these systems share the same short stretch of coast and shore infrastructure, a localized event at the landing zone can reach far more capacity than the cable count alone suggests. GeoCables tracks each of these systems individually for exactly this reason.

What our monitoring has recorded

GeoCables watches these systems continuously rather than describing them once. Since 2026-03-10 we have logged 122 route anomalies across 68 cable systems worldwide. Three have touched this location's own cables: a 135% round-trip latency spike on Asia Direct Cable (ADC) (2026-05-03, recovered by 2026-05-03), a 414% round-trip latency spike on Southeast Asia-Japan Cable (SJC) (2026-04-04, recovered by 2026-04-04) and a 168% round-trip latency spike on Apricot (2026-03-15, recovered by 2026-03-16). These were latency events on the systems' wider routes, not outages at the landing itself, and they cleared on their own. This record grows as we detect more, which is the difference between a directory entry and a monitored asset.

Latency, measured

From the GeoCables probe network, best-case round-trip time to Singapore endpoints runs about 315 ms from Sao Paulo, about 189 ms from Minsk and about 205 ms from Tbilisi. These are paths into Singapore from our own vantage points, not a global average, and they shift as operators re-route.

Who depends on it

The largest access networks in Singapore sit behind this coastal capacity: Singtel Fibre Broadband (16.8% of users), Starhub Ltd (12.8% of users), Cloudflare, Inc. (10.8% of users) and MobileOne Ltd. Mobile/Internet Service Provider Singapore (8% of users). See the full national picture for Singapore.

In short, Tuas, Singapore carries international traffic for Singapore across 16 independent cable systems reaching 37 countries on 7 continents, and GeoCables monitors each of them in real time.
