SINGAPORE PORT/TERMINAL
The Port of Singapore refers to the collective facilities and terminals that conduct maritime trade handling functions in harbours and which handle Singapore's shipping. Currently the world's second-busiest port in terms of total shipping tonnage, it also trans-ships a fifth of the world's shipping containers, half of the world's annual supply of crude oil, and is the world's busiest transshipment port. It was also the busiest port in terms of total cargo tonnage handled until 2005, when it was surpassed by the Port of Shanghai. Thousands of ships drop anchor in the harbours, connecting the port to over 600 other ports in 123 countries and spread over six continents.
Your shipment size and speed requirements are matched to the perfect aircraft, eliminating waste and reducing expenses. If your deadline does not support using a scheduled flight, your shipment can fly via a dedicated air cargo charter service. The express shipping options of air freight make it a valuable option for coordinating time sensitive shipments to almost anywhere in the world.
FACILITIES
The port facilities include the container terminals, berths, cranes, storage facilities, port information systems, an approach channel and an inter-modal transport system.
The Port of Singapore has terminals at Brani, Keppel, Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Panjang, Jurong and Sembawang. The terminals can handle coasters and lighters, cargo freighters, RO-RO ships, bulk carriers and container vessels.
The anchorage areas in the port include the Eastern Sector, the Jurong Sector and the Western Sector. The public landing areas – West Coast Pier, Marina South Pier and Changi Point Ferry Terminal – have dining outlets, shops, immigration and ferry services.
