Tuas Port opening: Higher efficiency, lower carbon footprint justify higher operational costs, say companies

SINGAPORE -"A shining example to the world that operates in near darkness at night" is how Mr Jeremy Nixon, chief executive of global container shipping company Ocean Network Express , has described the new Tuas Port.

This is but one of many features of the new Tuas Port that shipping lines and exporters said keep Singapore ahead of its competitors. "As Tuas Port opens in phases, the container traffic currently split among the various city terminals will be migrated and consolidated, reducing inter-terminal transfer time and domestic emissions," he added.ONE's Mr Nixon noted that Tuas Port is also prepared for the mega container vessels of the future, with a quay length of 26km.

Mr Laurent Olmeta, French container company CMA CGM's Asia-Pacific CEO, said it is still early days for companies to have a"full experience" of Tuas Port, but that CMA CGM has already received some 30 vessel calls there since November last year.
