PSA Singapore 2025 Container Throughput

Singapore | January 14, 2026 – PSA International Pte Ltd (PSA) has announced a record-breaking performance for the 2025 fiscal year, handling a global total of 105 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs). This milestone represents a 5% year-on-year increase and cements PSA’s position as a dominant force in the global maritime landscape, following its initial 100-million TEU breakthrough in 2024.

Singapore Flagship Leads the Charge

The Group’s flagship terminal in Singapore remained the primary engine of growth, registering a record 44.5 million TEUs, a significant 8% jump from the previous year. This surge in Singapore is particularly notable for the bunkering industry, as higher container throughput typically correlates with increased vessel calls and bunker demand at the world’s leading refueling hub.

Outside of Singapore, PSA’s global portfolio contributed 60.4 million TEUs, reflecting a 2% growth. The steady performance across international terminals underscores the resilience of the Group’s “Node to Network” strategy amidst a volatile global economy.

Leadership Insights: Navigating Volatility

Mr. Peter Voser, Group Chairman of PSA International, noted that the record was achieved despite “persistent geopolitical volatility, trade pressures, and climate shifts.” He emphasized that the Group’s diverse portfolio, spanning ports, marine services, and digital enablements, has been vital in navigating these complexities.

Group CEO Mr. Ong Kim Pong added that the connectivity across supply chain nodes is more critical than ever. “PSA will continue to expand our global footprint and strengthen the fabric of our port ecosystems, advancing capabilities and fostering strategic collaboration to build a resilient network that underpins sustainable global trade.”

Bunkering Perspective: What This Means for the Industry

For the bunkering and marine fuel sector, PSA’s 8% growth in Singapore is a bullish indicator. The increase in container handling at the Tuas and city terminals suggests:

  • Increased Vessel Turnaround: Higher TEU counts often imply larger “mega-vessels” or more frequent feeder rotations, both of which drive demand for VLSFO, LNG, and emerging alternative fuels.
  • Operational Resilience: Despite Red Sea diversions and shifting trade lanes seen throughout 2025, the concentration of volume in Singapore reinforces its status as the “catch-all” hub for vessels re-routing around the Cape of Good Hope.
  • Future-Proofing: PSA’s focus on “digital enablements” and “marine services” aligns with the industry’s shift toward digital bunkering and decarbonized supply chains.
