Tuas Port will be the world’s largest fully automated port when it is fully completed in about 20 years, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday (Aug 21).
When fully developed in four phases, will be the world’s single largest container port capable of handling up to 65 million TEUs annually. From planning to implementation, Tuas Port will be a resilient port. It provides a single consolidated location for Singapore’s container activities, which significantly reduces inter-terminal haulage operations and GHG emissions. Finger-piers with caisson quay wall were adopted to maximise limited land and sea space while creating 115 hectares more land. Coupled with long linear berths and design depth of -23m at Chart Datum, it can accommodate mega container ships exceeding 450m in length. Above Ground Space will also be introduced, adding 240ha of space for port-related uses.
