[Singapore]Singapore Port

Port Information

On average, Singapore attracts some 140,000 vessel calls annually.

Besides efficient cargo handling, bunkering, oil refining, shipbuilding and shiprepair, the Singapore port is noted for its wide range of marine services including pilotage, towage, heavy lift services, offshore support, salvage work, fresh water supply, crew change, ship supplies and slop disposal, among others.

Our comprehensive port facilities and services remain unsurpassed in terms of quality, efficiency, competitiveness and reliability.  These are backed by international terminal operators for cargo/container handling, oil refining, and petrochemicals. 

For bunkering, we guarantee quality. Our clear standards for bunkering such as the Singapore Standard for Bunkering, SS CP60 and the Singapore Standard for Bunker Suppliers, SS CP70, are internationally recognised.  Our bunker surveyors are licensed.  Our bunker suppliers are accredited.  And our intensive bunker quality checks help uphold Singapore's international standing as a quality bunkering port.

New incentives are frequently designed to strengthen Singapore as a marketplace for operations for all port businesses.
