Tuas Port opens

Tuas Port, along Singapore’s western seaboard, will offer a range of port services and cargo solutions with a focus on technology and automation. Digital solutions will help the port better manage supply chains and support PSA’s customers in managing cargo flows.

“As an enabler of global trade, PSA has contributed to Singapore’s success as an open and connected trading economy,” commented Tan Chong Meng, group chief executive of PSA International.

“Tuas Port provides us with an opportunity to reinvigorate this mission for the digital age and I believe it will further boost trade growth flowing through Singapore.

By dovetailing our port operations with the greater ecosystem in Tuas and through collaborating with like-minded partners for integrated intermodal solutions, we can better navigate the growing complexities of global supply chains.”

Tuas Port has 23 metres of draft alongside, with a total berth length of 26km. At present, 500 staff are working on site at Tuas Port, with the terminal being progressively developed in four phases.

When fully operational in the 2040s, it is expected to be the world’s largest fully automated container terminal in a single location, with an annual handling capacity of 65 million teu.
