THE WORLD’SBUSIEST PORT
8/10/2019 Singapore Port
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/singapore-port 3/14
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.

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.
