6.1% increase in container throughput in 2025 despite global trade uncertainty: Chee Hong Tat

Quick Summary:

For the first four months this year, container throughput reached 14.18 million twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers, a 6.1% increase from the same period last year.

Mr Chee added that investment in technology is also crucial to Singapore’s port operations.

To that end, technological trials are being done within the ports and the next step could be to conduct such trials between Pasir Panjang and Tuas.“We must not become complacent, we must invest to stay ahead, and technology is one of those areas that can give us that additional boost in our competitiveness and productivity,” he said.
