Singapore's mega port project to double capacity to 65m boxes per year

Prompted by Samsung, Honda plants.

According to a report by Bloomberg, as Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) and Honda Motor Co. (7267) are building new factories in Vietnam and Thailand, Singapore is readying a mega port to handle all those mobile phones, TVs and cars.

The city-state is building a new port west of the current 1,000 hectare (2,471 acre) site, to double capacity to 65 million boxes a year. That will help Singapore, home to the world’s second-busiest container port, lure goods made in Southeast Asian nations and then ship them worldwide.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
