THE WORLD’SBUSIEST PORT



Every two to three minutes, a ship arrives at or departs from

the Singapore port.

Every day, more than 60,000 containers are loaded or

unloaded from more than 60 container vessels.

It is the focal point for some 200 shipping lines with links

to more than 600 ports in over 120 countries worldwide.

At any one time, there are about 1,000 ships in our port.

The port has been a cornerstone of Singapore’s economy

for nearly 200 years and has played a key role in Singapore’s

transformation into a global trading power. Much of this

success is attributed to its strategic geographical location,

stable government, reliable workforce, pro-business

environment, transparent legal system and sound

infrastructure.

THE WORLD’S BUSIEST PORT

01



Since 1986, Singapore has been and

remains the busiest port in the world in

terms of shipping tonnage. Annually, we

receive an average of 140,000 vessel calls

at our port. In 2004, total vessel arrivals

for the year, in terms of shipping tonnage,

reached 1.04 billion gross tons, crossing

the one billion mark for the first time in

Singapore’s maritime his tory.

It is also a world-leading hub for container

transshipment, with over 20 million TEUs

(Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit s) handled

in 2004 and further growth expected.

Our terminals can handle over 2,000

containers per vessel routinely and turn

vessels around in less than 12 hours.

Singapore has been recognised as the

‘Best Seaport in Asia’ by the Asian Freight

and Supply Chain Awards (AFSCA) many

times over.

The Port of Singapore consists of a

number of terminals. They are located

at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Brani, Pasir

Panjang, Sembawang and Jurong, and

can accommodate all types of vessels -

container ships, bulk carriers, ro-ro ships,

cargo freighters, coasters and lighters.

The terminals are managed by two

commercial port operators, namely PSA

Singapore and Jurong Port. PSA Singapore

operates the terminals at Brani, Keppel,

Pasir Panjang, Sembawang and Tanjong

Pagar, which deal in container and

conventional cargo. Jurong Port handles

container, conventional and bulk cargo.

PSA SINGAPORE TERMINALS

PSA operates four container terminals in

Singapore at Keppel, Brani, Tanjong Pagar

and Pasir Panjang, with a total of 37

berths. They operate as one seamless

and integrated facility. Pasir Panjang

Terminal (PPT) is the newest. It can handle

mega container vessels of 8,000 TEUs or

more, with quay cranes that can reach

across 18 rows of containers. Remote

controlled bridge cranes allow each

operator to handle up to six cranes.

The current capacity of PPT is 26 berths,

with six berths operational at the

moment. In anticipation of growing

container volumes, the MPA has begun

to plan for the next phase of development

at PPT which will eventually add another

16 berths, bringing the total capacity to

42 berths.

PSA also operates two Multi-Purpose

Terminals (MPT) at Pasir Panjang and

Sembawang Wharves. They provide a

host of port-related logistic solutions,

from warehousing and open storage

facilities to break-bulk and specialised

cargo. Pasir Panjang Wharves is also a

premium ro-ro and pure car carrier hub,

handling 530,000 vehicles annually. It

is fast becoming an automotive

transshipment hub for the region.

JURONG PORT

Jurong Port is the main bulk and

conventional cargo gateway for

Singapore and the region. The port

handles steel products, cement, project

cargo and copper slag, among others,

using an extensive network of pipelines

and conveyor systems for speedy and

environment-friendly discharge and

loading. It is also a designated hub for

storage and transshipment of metals

traded on the London Metal Exchange.

In addition, Jurong Port has a container

terminal which is well-equipped with

sophisticated quay cranes to handle

1.4 million TEUs every year.

Leveraging on its multi-purpose

competency, Jurong Port is capable of

handling synergistic operations where

dual handling of cargoes can be efficiently

carried out seamlessly and without hassle

on the same berth in the port.

FREE TRADE ZONES

To facilitate entrepot trade and promote

the handling of transshipment cargo,

there are six Free Trade Zones within

Singapore’s port areas. In these zones,

goods can be stored free of charge for

a limited period and are processed with

minimum customs formalities.

WAREHOUSING ANDDISTRIBUTION

The Singapore port also provides world-

class warehousing and distribution

services. These include Keppel Distripark,

which has a 14-metre high ceiling to

support high-rack automated storage

and retrieval systems; and the Jurong

Logistics Hub – a modern 118,000 sqm

multi-storey warehouse where any

45-foot container truck can reach the

door-step of any tenant, in any weather

condition. These facilities have

contributed significantly to Singapore’s

development as a logistics anddistribution centre.

SINGAPORE

MARINERS’ CLUB

Besides ships and cargo, the Port of

Singapore also provides facilities for ships’

crew. The Singapore Mariners' Club

(SMC) prides itself on being a 'home

away from home' for seafarers of all

nationalities during their stay in the

Singapore port.

The SMC is located at Cantonment Road

near the port precinct and Singapore’s

Central Business District. Facilities at the

Club include 46 air-conditioned and well-

furnished serviced apartments; a

restaurant and bar; a seafarers’ lounge;

games rooms; a medical centre; and

international telephone services. It also

offers money changing and postal

services.

Seafarers are required to show their

passports, seaman’s discharge books or

other identification to enter the SMC

and enjoy its facilities.

With some 20 million tonnes of bunkers

supplied annually to ships from all over

the world, Singapore is the world’s top

bunkering port. About 80 bunker

suppliers and 130 bunker tankers operate

here, providing competitive, efficient and

timely service to vessels in the port.

Over the years, Singapore has established

an international reputation for quality

bunkering. All bunker suppliers and

surveyors operating here are licensed by

the MPA. They are required to comply

with clear quality assurance standards

and requirements such as the Singapore

Standard for Bunkering (SS CP60), the

Singapore Standard for Bunker Surveying

(SS CP77) and the Accreditation Scheme

for Bunker Suppliers. Other measures

such as designating special bunkering

anchorages and reducing the port dues

for ships calling at the port solely to take

bunkers have also contributed to

Singapore’s attractiveness as a bunkering

centre.

The bunkering industry in Singapore is

worth some S$7 billion annually.

Leveraging on its position as the world’s

third largest oil refining centre, Singapore

is fast becoming the petrochemical hub

of the Asia-Pacific. It has developed a

dedicated petrochemical complex on

Jurong Island – an amalgamation of seven

small islands just off the western coast

of Singapore.

Jurong Island is home to more than

70 chemicals companies with a total

investment value of S$22 billion. In

addition, the Banyan Logistics Park

provides integrated chemical logistics

support to the companies, making the

island a one-stop solution for chemicals

companies.

The growth of Jurong Island as a

petrochemicals hub will inevitably lead

to busier oil and chemical tanker traffic

in the Singapore port and generate

greater demand for related maritime

services.

Singapore is a thriving international centre

for shipbuilding, ship repairs and

conversions. It is a global leader in the

building of jack-up rigs and the

conversion of Floating Production Storage

and Offloading (FPSO) units, commanding

over 60 per cent of the world market

share. It is also a niche player in the

construction of customised and

specialised vessels.

There are a number of big and small

shipyards in Singapore, with a combined

total of 28 graving and floating docks. The

local marine industry generates an annual

turnover of more than S$4 billion and

employs some 37,000 workers. Ship repair

and conversion form the backbone of the

industry, accounting for about 60 per cent

of the total revenue. On average, close to

8,000 vessels are repaired and about

100 launched in Singapore every year.

The Association of Singapore Marine

Industries (ASMI), a non-profit trade

association, was formed in 1968 to

promote the interests of Singapore’s

marine industry.

Singapore’s excellent maritime

infrastructure has also made it a regional

cruise centre for holidaymakers. Annually,

about 650,000 visitors pass through our

international cruise terminal. On average,

Singapore attracts more than 30

international cruise ships every year,

making about 400 calls here.

The Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC)

commenced operations in 1991 and has

since been upgraded and expanded to

further enhance Singapore’s position as

a cruise gateway to the Asia-Pacific.

The SCC operates terminals catering to

international, regional and domestic

traffic.

The International Passenger Terminal (IPT)

has two berths measuring 300 metres,

and 250 metres in length. Its maximum

draft is 12 metres. The regional and

domestic terminals comprise eight and

six berths respect ively.

A site at Marina South has been

earmarked for the development of a new

cruise centre.
