Singapore explores two-tiered option for new port in Tuas

Singapore is considering using a two-tiered container terminal at the new port in Tuas, Maritime & Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore’s CEO Andrew Tan has reportedly announced.

While speaking at the 5^th Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) Forum, Tan said that the port is exploring ideas to use a double-tiered container terminal in order to break the current berth capacity ceiling, Seatrade Maritime Review reported.

According to Tan, given the city-state’s land and sea space constraints, using a two-tiered container terminal is a potential idea that would significantly increase the yard storage capacity and quay crane productivity.
