Also, you can pre-book your grab and tell them to be at tanah merah maybe say 10-15 minutes after your arrival. Not sure how the immigration is at Tanah Merah, but my guess is it's not gonna be as bad HF on certain days and time.
So yeah. just my 2cents.
Because if I discover I am in a hurry then it's way too late to change my travel plan!!
I stay in Nagoya, 10 minutes from Harbour Bay => leaving from Batam Centre means a lot more time.
I buy my tickets with Horizon Ferry several weeks in advance, not the last day => changing ferry means to buy the new ticket, which takes time, and maybe there is not even availability.
From HB there is a ferry every hour or so => I can optimize my time and enjoy also my last day in Batam.

Consider that if I fly from Changi at 22:30 I take the ferry from HB at 16:30.
