PSA Singapore is one of the flagship terminals of PSA International, a leading port group with a global network encompassing 179 locations in 45 countries.

With a total of 55 berths and designed annual capacity of 43.9 million TEUs, we operate the world’s largest container transhipment hub. In 2023, PSA Singapore handled 38.8 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers.

With connections to 600 ports globally, shippers have access to daily sailings to every major port in the world, operating 24/7, all year round.

Beyond port operations, PSA Singapore is expanding its portfolio to offer shippers and cargo owners innovative supply chain solutions to facilitate global trade by enhancing the physical, financial and regulatory flow of cargo.

Where we come from

PSA, formerly known as the Port of Singapore Authority, was a statutory board regulating, operating and promoting the Port of Singapore in the 1960s. (Note: PSA dropped the name of “Port of Singapore Authority” in 1997 when it became a corporatised entity. The company should be referred to as “PSA International” or simply “PSA”.)

In the 1970s, PSA started a container port and handled their first container ship. In the following decades, PSA grew and reached the 5-million TEU mark by 1990, making Singapore the world’s largest container port then.

In 1996, PSA’s regulatory functions were transferred to Singapore’s new maritime regulator, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). A parliamentary bill was passed on 25 August 1997 to convert the Port of Singapore Authority, a state organisation, into an independent commercial company.

PSA Corporation Limited (simplified Chinese: ???????) was corporatised on 1 October 1997. The company kept the initials “PSA” as its brand name but it is no longer an acronym.

PSA took the first step in becoming a global terminal operator in 1996 when it embarked on its first overseas venture in Dalian, China.

Today, PSA is a world leading ports and terminals group.
