PSA Singapore (PSA) has unveiled the PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas (PSCH), a central part of its strategic expansion within Tuas Port, at its groundbreaking ceremony today. This state-of-the-art facility, scheduled to be ready by 2027, is poised to transform the logistics and supply chain landscape in Singapore.
Strategically situated next to Tuas Port within the Free Trade Zone, the PSCH will be seamlessly integrated with Singapore’s extensive supply chain ecosystem, offering unparalleled connectivity and scale as a Regional Distribution Centre and a Container Freight Station. Its comprehensive suite of value-added services and the supply chain synergies it creates will further strengthen Singapore’s position as a global logistics and supply chain powerhouse.
Spanning more than two million square feet, PSCH will be equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as advanced robotics and automation systems, including the Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) and the Intelligent Warehouse eXchange (iWX) (see Annex A for more details of these technologies). These innovations are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern supply chains, providing customers with enhanced visibility, streamlined processes and the agility needed to adapt to an ever-changing global market.
The hub also embodies PSA’s steadfast commitment to sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly features such as renewable energy sources, sustainable drainage systems and energy-efficient designs. These measures are aligned with PSA’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions, further advancing and supporting Singapore’s smooth transition into a green and sustainable future.
Mr Peter Voser, Group Chairman of PSA International, said, “The PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas (PSCH) is strategically positioned to create exceptional synergy with Tuas Port and it will be instrumental in enhancing value capture within the port and supply chain ecosystem. 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 adjacencies solutions, we are making significant progress towards realising our vision of building a more connected and sustainable end-to-end supply chain ecosystem.”
Mr Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO of PSA International, said, “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 PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas 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 2 of 4 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. Our deepest appreciation goes out to our unions, stakeholders and partners, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in making this vision a reality.”
The development of the PSCH builds upon PSA’s extensive experience in port adjacencies ecosystem, including the management of PSA Keppel Distripark – a multi-tenanted cargo distribution complex specialising in the consolidation and deconsolidation of Less than Container Load cargo. Together with the city terminals at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel and Brani, operations at Keppel Distripark will also be consolidated at Tuas Port by 2027.
