Pasir Panjang Terminal is a core component of the Port of Singapore, managed by PSA Singapore and known for its advanced automated systems. The terminal began operations in 1998 and was specifically designed with a deep draught of up to 18 meters to accommodate the world's largest container vessels. Its ongoing expansion reached a significant milestone in 2014 with the commencement of Phases 3 and 4, which added highly automated cranes and yard systems. Once fully developed, the terminal has a combined capacity of 50 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year. The facility utilizes state-of-the-art port technology, including electric automated rail-mounted gantry cranes, to maximize operational efficiency and sustainability in global shipping.
