PSA’s automated Tuas Port hits 25 million TEUs amid $115 billion capacity race
The facility currently operates 14 berths and remains on schedule to expand to 18 by 2027.
Singapore's Tuas Port, managed by PSA Singapore, has processed 25 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) since its automated operations began in September 2022. TEUs serve as the standard unit of measurement in the shipping and logistics industry. This milestone confirms the terminal's capability to handle rising global cargo volumes and stabilize supply chains amidst geopolitical trade disturbances.
Currently, Tuas Port boasts 14 berths, with plans to expand to 18 by 2027. PSA's CEO, Ong Kim Pong, emphasized the need for seamless coordination among ports and supply chain nodes due to the evolving global trade landscape. The automated port is a vital part of PSA's "Node to Network" strategy, enhancing the company's role as the leading container transshipment hub in Singapore.
A recent World Bank report highlighted the need for a $12 billion (S$15.4 billion) annual investment between 2025 and 2040 to improve port efficiency and capacity in East Asia and the Pacific, with Singapore ports requiring approximately 25% of that total. PSA operates a global network connecting to 600 ports and processes over 44.5 million TEUs annually, providing mid-mile logistics and end-to-end supply chain visibility through digital solutions.
