The majority of container vessels

The majority of container vessels complete their simultaneous cargo handling and bunkering within a day of arrival. Various efforts were undertaken collectively by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), PSA Singapore, and unions, to address the port congestion arising from the Red Sea situation in mid-2024. These included commissioning new berths at Tuas Port, reactivating berths and yard spaces at Keppel Terminal, increasing manpower capacity, working with shipping and feeder lines to optimise operations schedule, and permitting night-tow operations for container barges to and from Pasir Panjang Terminal for the first time.
