They will also help increase the terminal’s annual cargo handling capacity from three million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to nearly five million TEUs.

The berths are set to boost CSP’s presence in Singapore and help with the arrival of mega-vessels and mega-alliances in the shipping industry.

The planned berths will be equipped with automated yard technology to enable more efficient berthing arrangements, increase productivity, as well as improve CPT’s service and quality.

Cosco Shipping vice-chairman and managing director Zhang Wei said: “The COSCO-PSA Terminal is our major investment in Southeast (SE) Asia. With the continuous support from parent company and shipping alliance, the volume of the terminal continues to grow.
