The Singapore Strait (or Straits of Singapore; simplified Chinese: 新加坡海峡; pinyin: Xīnjiāpō Hǎixiá) is a 105 kilometer long, 16 kilometer wide strait between the Strait of Malacca in the west and the South China Sea in the east. Singapore is on the north of the channel and the Riau Islands are on the south. It includes Keppel Harbour and many small islands. The strait provides the deepwater passage to the Port of Singapore, which makes it very busy. See also
