Unlike Changi Airport, Singapore’s seaport is more resilient amid the Covid-19 pandemic, as it remains open to the movement of shipping containers.
Container performance in the first part of this year remained physically powerful compared to last year, falling to 17.8 million 20-foot (TEU) games from 18 million TEU in the first part of last year, the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority.(MPA) said yesterday.
He also stated that the structure of the port of Tuas being carried out in 4 distinct stages for greater flexibility in its progression schedule.It is expected to be completely finished in the 2040s.
The MPA spokesman added that it will continue to revise the timetable, “taking into account Singapore’s wishes and the expansion of maritime trade.”
Meanwhile, transport minister Ong Ye Kung, at his national holiday in front of his staff, gave no trace of a slowdown in the structure of the port of Tuas.
Questions were recently raised about the timing of the assignment in the middle of the pandemic, and a letter was added to the Straits Times forum page that said it might be mandatory to “recalibrate the structure of this port by slowing it down for a few years or even climbing “The Allocation Down” because Covid-19 reduces maritime trade.
When ready, Tuas, listed as the next-generation port, will process up to millions of TEUs according to the year.
The Port Authority of Singapore, which expects a drop in volume this year, will respond swiftly to new opportunities in areas such as e-commerce and invest in its competitive advantage, Mr.Ngos.
While geography played a role, the Port of Singapore also thrived on opportunities seized along the way. “We have relied on our dynamic port and have generated many other complementary industries, in shipping, shipment financing, marine insurance, maritime law, logistics,” he said.
Today, every major transport ship that arrives here transfers its boxes to a hundred other ships, before taking the boxes of two hundred other ships.
“Therefore, major shipping calls in Singapore have 20,000 connections.That’s what it means to be an exchange of the sea, ” he added.
With land transport, it’s expensive for them and works, especially the MRT formula, yet an exciting public transport formula brings “a greener, fairer and bigger Singapore,” Ngos said.
“We are devoting a lot of resources to ground transportation,” he said. The operation of the formula and the renewal of obsolete operating assets are also very costly.”
He added: “Fee revenue is inadequate to cover those operating expenses.The government spends $2 billion a year to subsidize the operation of the public transportation system.”
But a hot mass transit formula will see Singapore moving toward a nation on car legs, he said.
The abundant improvement in rail service reliability in recent years is significant.Previously, 30% of SMRT’s maintenance efforts were faithful to preventive maintenance and 70% were faithful to corrective maintenance.
