Overview
- Singapore is installing 227 concrete caissons, each about 10 storeys tall, to build a 9.1-kilometre seawall that will reclaim land for Tuas Port.
- The project budget exceeds US$20 billion, reflecting a long-term push to expand seaward because the city-state lacks spare land.
- The terminal is planned to cover about 1,337 hectares with 66 berths along roughly 26 kilometres of quay.
- Official targets call for handling around 65 million containers a year when development is complete in the 2040s.
- Operations are being designed around automated cranes, driverless vehicles and a single digital control system that Singapore aims to use as a testbed for exportable tech.
