Singapore’s Taus port is on the path to becoming the port of the future. By embracing technology, the port has streamlined the supply chain and enhanced support for its PSA-valued customers.
Moreover, according to the PSA, they are on a mission to build the world’s largest fully automated port to maintain its competitive edge and handle the mounting pressure from global trade.
Traditional manual processes, once effective, can no longer keep up with the increasing demands of the supply chain industry, including real-time tracking, evolving customer expectations, and the constant drive for greater efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
Expected Growth Potential
The first phase of Tuas Port commenced operations in September 2022 and is expected to be fully completed by 2040. Once finished, Singapore’s handling capacity will double, accommodating vessels over 400 meters long.
The port will also collaborate with the airport to enhance connectivity between the nation’s air and seaports, driving economic growth through increased trade volumes.
Tuas Port has expanded to eight berths, boosting Singapore’s handling capacity amid recent supply chain disruptions. Operations primarily rely on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), employing 500 workers.

In line with its vision to become the world’s largest automated container terminal, the port aims to integrate artificial intelligence, data analytics, robotics, and other advanced technologies to strengthen Singapore’s maritime leadership.
PSA anticipates more than doubling the AGV fleet as Tuas Port advances through its next development phases. EDA’s influence will continue transforming port operations, establishing a new benchmark for efficiency, adaptability, and customer satisfaction in the maritime industry.
