S’pore named best seaport in Asia 
 
THE Port of Singapore has again won the best seaport in Asia title. It is its 20th victory since it first triumphed in 1987.
The accolades do not end there.

PSA International was named best global container operator for a fourth year, while PSA Singapore Terminals was voted Asia’s best container terminal for the 19th time.

The awards were conferred at the 22nd Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards organised by Cargonews Asia, a leading transport publication based in Hong Kong.

The winners were selected through a poll of shipping industry stakeholders, including freight lines, terminal operators, freight forwarders and other parties across Asia.

Captain Khong Shen Ping, acting chief executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, said: ‘We are greatly…honoured by the vote of confidence from our industry partners, who have reaffirmed Singapore as their port of choice in Asia.’

Mr Fock Siew Wah, group chairman of PSA International, said the company’s wealth of experience had been crucial to its success.

‘We innovate and introduce systems and processes with the clear objective of staying relevant and providing the highest level of service to customers,’ he said.
