Singapore to benefit from the robust expansion of Shanghai's container port

Shanghai overtook Singapore as the world's busiest container port in 2010 but Shanghai's pole position was not achieved at Singapore's expense.

According to Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Second Minister for Finance and Transport, Singapore had the position as the world's busiest container port since 2005. However, Shanghai overtook Singapore last year.

As China's import and export volume increases, it can be expected that Shanghai and the other gateway ports in China will continue to expand in tandem. Shanghai's pole position was not achieved at Singapore's expense.

Mrs Lim Hwee Hua said: "In fact, China's prosperity will continue to be a plus for us as a significant portion of our container comes from or goes to destinations in China."

Singapore, as a major transhipment hub, is well-placed to capture the growing trade volumes of the rest of Asia. This is borne out by the 10% rise in Singapore's container volumes last year.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
