[SINGAPORE] The Port of Singapore had a banner year in 2025, achieving all-time highs for annual vessel arrival tonnage, container throughput, marine fuel sales, sales of alternative bunker fuels, and total tonnage of ships under the country’s flag. Gross tonnage of vessel arrivals rose by 3.5 per cent year on year to around 3.2 billion, while box throughput improved by 8.6 per cent to about 44.7 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), based on Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) data. TEU is a measure of cargo capacity. Tan Hua Joo, an analyst at container shipping intelligence provider Linerlytica, told The Business Times that all the main South-east Asia hub ports reported record-high volumes in 2025 due to strong Chinese exports outside of the US. He noted that Singapore’s 8.6 per cent improvement was below Malaysia’s Tanjung Pelepas’ 14.5 per cent, but better than Port Klang’s 3.4 per cent. The box throughput handled should place Singapore as the world’s second-busiest container port in 2025, behind Chinese port Shanghai’s 55.1 billion TEUs, but ahead of Ningbo-Zhoushan’s over 43 million TEUs. This was also how the three ports were positioned in 2024, as ranked by the World Shipping Council. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/singapore-port-achieves-record-high-performance-2025 (ICE SINGAPORE)
