PSA Breaks Record With Over 40m Containers Handled In 2024

Singapore's largest port operator PSA handled more than 40 million shipping containers, or twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), in 2024, a record-breaking feat that it has called a "significant milestone".

This means that in 2024, Singapore's port—consisting of terminals operated by both PSA and Jurong Port—surpassed the 2023 record of 39.01 million TEUs, said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat in a Facebook post on Dec 27.

Mr Chee added that the port is also on track to achieving a new record for total cargo throughput and bunker sales in 2024.

PSA's previous record of 38.8 million TEUs was set in 2023.

In his post, Mr Chee credited the strong tripartite partnership and pro-business approach in the maritime sector for this latest achievement.

He said: "My colleagues and I will press on with our efforts to continue growing our maritime industry in 2025 and beyond, to attract more investments, facilitate more business expansions and create more good jobs for our people."
