PSA Singapore (PSA) has achieved a major operational milestone, handling 25 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) at Tuas Port since the mega port commenced operations in September 2022. The achievement highlights the rapid scale-up of the world’s largest fully automated container terminal and reinforces Tuas Port’s growing role as a strategic global transhipment hub.
Designed to support the future of international trade, Tuas Port has become a critical gateway for resilient, reliable and efficient cargo movement amid evolving global supply chain and geopolitical dynamics. As a cornerstone of PSA Group’s Node to Network strategy, the port integrates Singapore’s transhipment capabilities with PSA’s global network of ports, providing customers with enhanced connectivity, greater flexibility and seamless end-to-end supply chain solutions.
Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO of PSA International, said the milestone reflects the importance of stronger coordination across global ports and logistics networks as international trade becomes increasingly complex.
“Tuas Port’s integrated port ecosystem is designed to future-proof supply chains by streamlining terminal and logistics services, enabling customers to move cargo with greater agility, resilience and confidence. Through innovation, digitalisation and responsible stewardship, we will continue strengthening our global network while reinforcing Singapore’s position as the world’s leading transhipment hub,” he said.
Nelson Quek, Regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International, credited the achievement to the support of customers, partners, unions and PSA employees.
“This milestone was made possible through strong collaboration and the dedication of our people. Together, we have navigated challenges and created new opportunities, and we remain committed to shaping the next chapter of Singapore’s maritime journey,” he said.
Tuas Port currently operates 14 berths and is on schedule to expand to 18 operational berths by 2027. PSA is also continuing to deploy advanced automation, smart technologies and sustainable solutions to enhance operational efficiency, service excellence and environmental performance.
The 25-million-TEU milestone further strengthens Singapore’s position as one of the world’s busiest and most technologically advanced container transhipment hubs, supporting global trade connectivity and supply chain resilience.
