“No damage has been assessed to adjacent port equipment and facilities,” said MPA and PSA.
“All of PSA’s current operational berths remain fully accessible, and all port operations and port development works remain unaffected.”
MPA and PSA added that the incident is under investigation, and that the two organisations will work with the relevant authorities regarding the incident.
Envisioned to be the world’s largest automated container terminal in the world when completed, PSA’s Tuas Port started operations in 2021.
The port had 11 berths in operation as of May, with the opening of one more berth expected this year. Four more berths are scheduled to become operational in 2026, and a further two in 2027.
When fully completed in the 2040s, Tuas Port will have a handling capacity of 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units, or TEUs, of containers.
