Marina South Pier MRT Station

Marina South Pier MRT Station (NS28) is the future southern terminal station of the North South Line in Singapore. This station is located on reclaimed land and is built as part of the North South Line Extension when it is scheduled to open in the later part of 2014.

The station is located near the Marina South Pier and the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore. An extension to Marina Barrage was previously planned but plans for that were shelved.

History
The station's working name Marina Pier station was revealed when the Land Transport Authority updated the rail map which includes future MRT lines on May 3, 2010. A second tentative name of Marina South Pier station was released when the map was updated again on September 19, 2011.

A $357.5 million contract was awarded to Samsung C&T Corporation for the civil works of the extension. Construction works for the station started in December 2009.

2012 casualty incident
On 8 August 2012, a Bangladeshi worker was dismantling a supporting structure that formed part of an Earth Retaining Stabilizing Structure (ERSS) used at the C156 Marina Bay worksite. The worker had been assigned to remove bolts from a waler section to be dismantled. Following the removal of the bolts, the waler sections were to be hoisted by a crane out of the worksite. During the hoisting of one waler section, another waler section which the worker had been standing on became dislodged as it was still connected to the waler section being hoisted. Both the worker and this waler section plunged to the base of the ERSS, and this waler section crushed the worker, killing him.
