    COSCO SHIPPING Ports partners PSA Singapore to launch a new berth in COSCO - PSA Terminal

    COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited and PSA  Corporation Limited have today signed a  memorandum of understanding to mark the launch of a new berth at COSCO - PSA Terminal in Singapore, the company said in its press release. Established in 2003, CPT has served as a hub  for container shipping in the Southeast Asia region.

    The launch of the  third berth follows the CSP supplemental agreement signed with PSA on 18  March 2016, which replaced the original two berths in CPT located at Pasir Pan jang Terminal  1 with  three new and larger berths at Pasir Panjang Terminal 5. These agreements  are timely  as the importance of Singapore as a pivotal regional maritime hub grows in tandem with the  advent of mega vessels and new alliances in the shipping in dustry.

    The first two berths had earlier commenced operations on 1 January 2017, with an  annual handling  capacity of  2,000,000 TEU.  OCEAN Alliance, of which  COSCO Shipping  Corporation is a major member, commenced  operations on 1 April 2017.

    With the strategic reshuffle of shipping routes by  OCEAN  Alliance,  throughput will continue to grow at Singapore ’s Port.  With a view to meet the new requirements from shipping alliance s and mega - vessels, as well as maximize the utilization rate of the  berths, COSCO SHIPPING Ports  has decided  to  commence  operations at the third berth on 1 January 2018.

    This will subsequently increase the handling capacity of CPT to 3,000,000 TEU annually. The new berth, like the first two berths, will  be supported by an automated yard, allowing for more efficient berthing arrangements, enabling the terminal to increase productivity and greatly enhance its service capability and quality.

    The cooperation will further deepen the collaboration between CSP and PSA, enabling the two companies to seize the  opportunities of globalization and further strengthen the role of the  Singapore Port as a global  container transshipment hub, reinforcing the shipping links between China and countries in South east Asia.
