"This new hub is well-positioned to support not only Singapore’s trade and logistics sector but also the wider Southeast Asia region and beyond. PSCH will be Singapore’s gateway to the world. Along with PSA’s expanding suite of port adjacency solutions, we are making significant progress towards realising our vision of building a more connected and sustainable end-to-end supply chain ecosystem.”
Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO, PSA International adds: “Rapidly evolving global trade patterns require us to rethink our business strategy and model. While we continue to secure our positions in key locations, we also need to connect our strategic nodes to form a cohesive and integrated network, in alignment with our Node to Network strategy. With the PSCH on board, our collective strength and synergy will enable PSA to harness the full potential of our combined port and wider logistics network to deliver unmatched efficiency and reliability in service routes and networks. PSA will continue to expand our fabric of port networks and supply chain services in a sustainable way, adding value and enhancing cargo flows.”
