SAS Choice of Hotels Expands to its Third: Furama Riverfront

Since 2016, the Seafarers’ Accommodation Scheme (SAS) has provided 6,000 subsidised hotel rooms to officers from Collective Agreement (CA) companies. The $300,000 scheme initiated by SMOU helps shipping companies with some financial relief and ensures that the welfare of seafaring officers who have to stay in Singapore for training or when they sign on or off a ship is well taken care of.

Under the scheme, subsidised lodging is provided at The Seacare Hotel and Furama City Centre. From 1 June 2019, Furama Riverfront has joined in to become the third approved accommodation provider under SMOU SAS.

All CA companies will enjoy the SAS subsidy from 1 January to 31 December 2019.

Each SAS e-Voucher, valued at S$50, can be used to offset accommodation costs.
SAS allows the flexibility of combining multiple voucher codes to offset room charges.
SAS e-Vouchers can be used at The Seacare Hotel, Furama City Centre and Furama Riverfront (New*)
