As transhipment is simply fast clearance for onward journey, the expensive warehouse and container terminal space can be freed for higher value uses.
How? Invest in a retired aircraft or chopper carrier from US.
Disassembly weapons and guns.
Moor it off shore.
AC comes with lifts and many storey high. Eg. USS Enterprise can house 5000 crew and over 1km long. Got high bridge for new Keppel Office. Got nuclear generator.
Shift inland warehouse, customs, and container terminal on board the floating island.
Transhipment vessel simply pull alongside, unload containers, and reload those it wanted to where-ever.
This way transhipment vessels need not be towed into Keppel. Save all parties costs, tug-boats, berthing, harbour traffic etc. etc.
Can even have few more; each to transfer a polytech....more land freed.

sg too small, the aim is to claim and reclaim and reclaim so our land space (a nd i mean real land) increase and increase and increas

in late 60s....US gave RSS Endurance (after Retiring the LST from Korean War) for $1/- as token....also RSS Panglima (ex marine patrol craft all wood) and RSS Endeavour (ex fishing vessel)...erh...how about $1m for AC? excl towing and refurbish etc..expenses
Given the xtrem good relationship wit US and many US interest in Sg..US can retired old WW2 aircraft/copper carriers to Sg for a larger token...... Fighter Copper carrier easily has 5 decks and 3storey bridge.....enough for Poly, or Casino (on international water so no tax).....

Wait a minute.........Mandai Zoo can put in one AC....NOAH ARK.......imagine SeaWorld in natural habitate...........the rest in simulated forest....on upper decks....downstair museum....lower decks....food storage and animal hospital....living quarter for zoo workers...........amusement park......lowest deck to process animal dungs into manure for export..
