The Singapore Strait is a sea strait throughout Southeast Asia located at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, between the island of Singapore, to the north, and several of the islands of the Riau Archipelago, belonging to Indonesia in the south. The Singapore Strait is a waterway connecting the deep water south of the South China Sea to the east, with the Strait of Malacca to the west, a corridor for all public transport linking the Pacific Ocean and the ocean Indian making it an area of high density of navigation, providing the way to the deepwater port of Singapore.
Its length is 105 km from east to west and 16 km from north to south and in it are many small islands. The border of Indonesia and Singapore is located along the Straits. At its northern edge port is Singapore one of the world's largest in terms of volume of cargo moved annually.
The narrow south forks in the Straits of Durian and Riau, crossing the Riau islands of Indonesia. The Johor Strait separates the island of Singapore to the Malaysian peninsula. The depth of the Straits of Singapore defines the maximum draft of vessels passing through the Strait of Malacca, and the vessels in Malaccamax. The Horsburgh lighthouse, installed on the island Pulau Batu or Pedra Blanca, serving of call when you arrive from the east or north.
The naval transport is the mode of transport that is carried in the water, using as a vehicle some sort of boat. There are two main variants: the shipping, which takes place in the sea and channels maritime, and river transport, which takes place in rivers and waterways. Among the infrastructure necessary to highlight naval transport ports and all its facilities. For easy navigation there are other infrastructure such as traditional headlights.
The arrival of European-Spaniards and Portuguese throughout most of America produced great changes in transportation. The main mode of communication was the shipping, since it was more efficient and faster to natural ports and places in which ports, both sea and the surging American rivers were built.
The channels are means created for easy water transport. The opening of this waterway was created to a substantial reduction in travel time in traffic of goods by sea worldwide. Amazon and Paraná rivers are major waterways, but certainly the most important channel is the Panama Canal. This links the Atlantic to the Pacific via the Panama isthmus.
The early development of water transport was stimulated by the tendency of populations to concentrate on the coastline or waterways. The ancient Romans used sailboats equipped with several banks of oars to transport their armies to Carthage and other theaters. Shipbuilding and rigging and handling of the sails were improving over time. With these changes, together with the adoption of the marine compass, navigation made possible the open sea without sighting the coast.
As happened during ancient times in the Mediterranean and other parts of the world, the fact that dolae colonial settlements in America were usually established on the coasts, rivers or lakes, was a cause and consequence of the first transport routes in the colonies were natural waterways, and the most efficient modes of travel will be made by boat.
The Singapore Strait connects the Strait of Malacca to the South China Sea and separates the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Singapore from the Indonesian Riau Islands. Singapore is in turn through the narrow Strait of Johor separated from the Malaysian mainland. It is a major compulsory routes for maritime traffic that flows between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian for what is an area of high density navigation. The Horsburgh lighthouse, located on the island and Batu Pedra Branca, is a reference to when it comes to the strait from the east or north. It has 105 km from east to west and 16 km from north to south. In its northern margin is Singapore : its harbor is one of the largest in the world as the volume of cargo moved annually. The narrow forks south in the straits of Durian and Riau, crossing the Riau islands, as in Indonesia. The Straits of Johor separates the island of Singapore from the Malaysian peninsula.
