Speaking at the official opening of Tuas Port, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong reiterates that Singapore’s decision to push forward with the construction of Tuas Port sends a “clear signal” to the world that Singapore is open for business.
PSA Corp officially opened Tuas Port on Sept 1, with the port’s first three berths now in operation and set to become the world’s largest fully automated port when completed in the 2040s.
The port, which already has 500 staff working on site, will have an annual handling capacity of 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) when fully operational. This figure is almost double Singapore’s handling capacity at present with its existing terminals of Tanjong Pagar, Brani, Keppel and Pasir Panjang, which will all be progressively consolidated at Tuas.
