sbst275 SG Singapore is world's busiest container port in Q1 SINGAPORE : Singapore was the world's busiest container port in the first quarter of this year, beating Hong Kong by a fraction. Hong Kong handled a total of 5.28 million 20-foot equivalent units of goods from January to March. That is compared with the 5.3 million units handled by Singapore port operator PSA in same period. Hong Kong is facing stiff competition from Shenzhen, where exporters can ship their goods at prices that are about one-third those charged in the territory. - CNA /ct
sbst275 SG Think this year may get again... March volume was highest ever, 1.91M TEU, 63,500 TEU per day on avg... Expects handling volume this yr to be at least 21M TEU... Exceeding HK if possible Jurong Port is actually the unsung hero as well
sbst275 SG Looks like peak season is in again, dun forget, around this time last yr, berthing delays at PSA SG Terminal…
sbst275 SG Hehe…. If HK handles less than 1.90M TEU, PSA No 1 for Q2 again.. I see the stat for HK to be out today
105090 SG the world’s busiest port is HK, and 2nd is Singapore? wow.. singapore got a strategic geographical position..not bad.. the results it seems, esp when SG lost Mearsk Sealand and Evergreen to PTP
