PSA to add 3 more berths at Pasir Panjang Terminal
-
SINGAPORE : PSA is further expanding its ports in Singapore to cope with growing container trade.
The port operator told Channel NewsAsia that it is adding another three new berths at Pasir Panjang Terminal - bringing the total to eight new berths by next year.
The three extra berths will boost PSA Singapore's annual capacity by another 12 percent to over 26 million twenty-foot equivalent units, the standard measure for containers.
PSA says it needs to increase capacity to meet the annual projected growth of about 1 million TEUs over the next few years.
It plans to add at least 15 new berths at Pasir Panjang Terminal by 2011.
PSA says the first three berths - costing almost S$200 million - will be operational this year.
Last year, PSA's four Singapore terminals had a record container throughput of 20.6 million TEUs. - CNA -
8 out of 15 berths to be up by next year... 15 all by 2011
Maybe aft the sudden surge of volumes last year... Even now handling is still very high... Already on the verge to overbeat HK
