PSA Singapore introduces measures to mitigate impact of global supply chain disruptions

PSA Singapore has significantly ramped up its capabilities to support increased activity and mitigate the impact of global supply chain disruptions since the beginning of the year, including reinforcing frontline capacity, commissioning new berths at Tuas Port and reactivating berths and yard space at Keppel Terminal. 

The disruption has stemmed from the Red Sea situation, upstream and downstream port congestion and port omissions by shipping lines to recover their schedules, giving rise to substantial changes in vessel arrival patterns and call sizes. 

PSA has faced strong berth demand and off-schedule vessel arrivals, resulting in high concentrations of vessels arriving during certain days of the week, causing a significant increase in waiting times despite maxing out all berths.
