MPA pours $2.4b into Tuas Terminal Phase 1 construction

Port operations will be consolidated here.

The Maritime and Port Authority today signed a $2.42 billion contract for the construction of Tuas Terminal Phase 1.

The deal was signed with Dredging International Asia Pacific – Daelim Joint Venture and include dredging of the waters, construction of wharfs and reclamation of 294 hectares of land.

Singapore will be consolidating its container port activities at Tuas in the long term to meet the future demands of container shipping.

When completed, it will have the capacity to handle 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per annum, almost double the throughput handled by the Port of Singapore in 2014.

Tuas was chosen for its sheltered deep waters and proximity to major industrial areas and international shipping routes.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
