There are 2 main ferry terminals in Singapore;
Singapore Cruise Centre is located in the center of Singapore,nearer to Sentosa Island.
Tanah Merah is closer to Changi.
You may need to overnight because I don't think they have a late night service to Batam.
You may be able to catch an early morning service though.
When you reach SIN, you may want to consider staying in transit and clear the next morning or just stay at a reasonably priced hotel.
If you still need more info, there is plenty online.
Just google Batam, or Batam Ferry Schedules or Singapore Ferry Terminals.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
