The Battle of Transhipment Hubs: PSA vs. PTP

The latest status between the two ports


Term Paper, 2012

9 Pages, Grade: A


Abstract or Introduction

For a long period, the port of Singapore had a relatively exclusive position at the Straits of Malacca and it was the dominant transhipment hub in Southeast Asia (Leong and Chen, 2004). However, the main port operator, PSA International Pte Ltd – formerly also known as Port of Singapore Authority – has to face competition since the emergence of the Port of Tanjung Pelepas which started its operation in 1999. It has been serious for PSA since the shift of main customers such as Maersk or Evergreen at the latest as a big proportion of volume was thereby shifted to PTP (Leong and Chen, 2004). In the following, the latest status between the two ports will be described.
