[5]In 2017, India and Singapore signed a bilateral agreement which will allow Indian Navy ships limited logistical support, including refuelling, at CNB.

The base was also designed to be environment-friendly, with three small-scale wind turbines powering the 50 lights along the breakwaters at night.

Seawater is used in the air-conditioning system,[7] saving about 35,000 m3 (equivalent to 20 Olympic-sized pools) of potable water annually.

Co-located in CNB is the Changi Naval Training Base, also known as RSS Panglima—named in honour of the first ship of the Navy.
