PSA International achieves record 105 million TEUs in 2025 container throughput

PSA International Pte Ltd (PSA) on Wednesday (14 January) said it has set a new benchmark in global container handling, achieving a record of 105 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) across its ports and terminals worldwide for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Overall, the Group’s volumes increased by 5% year-on-year. This accomplishment builds on the notable milestone in 2024 when PSA surpassed 100 million TEUs in annual throughput for the first time.

PSA’s flagship terminal in Singapore also set a new record and registered a throughput of 44.5 million TEUs, representing more than 8% increase. Terminals outside Singapore contributed an additional 60.4 million TEUs, marking a 2% increase and reinforcing PSA’s overall growth momentum.

Mr Peter Voser, Group Chairman of PSA International, said, “In 2025, the global economy continued to face persistent geopolitical volatility, trade pressures, technological disruptions and climate shifts. Navigating these complexities, the Group delivered a commendable record container throughput, made possible through strong collaboration with our customers, partners, and associates.

“As globalisation continues to evolve and uncertainty remains ever-present, PSA is driven by our steadfast resolve to adapt and chart the course ahead. Anchored by the resolute dedication of our teams and sustained resilience of our diverse portfolio spanning ports, supply chain solutions, marine services, and digital enablements, PSA is committed to create distinct value for our customers, partners, and enhance trade flows around the world.”

Mr Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO of PSA International, said, “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our management, staff and unions for their commitment and execution excellence, which enabled PSA to deliver a strong performance and scale new heights in 2025.

“Amid shifting global trade patterns and evolving industry dynamics, effective coordination and connectivity across ports and supply chain nodes have never been more critical. 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.”

Founder of collapsed oil trader Hin Leong Trading, Lim Oon Kuin, also known as OK Lim, has had the remaining 127 charges against him withdrawn, according to The Straits Times on Monday (20 July).

OK Lim was issued a stern warning and a district court granted him a discharge amounting to an acquittal for these charges, including those for cheating, on 17 July. The discharge means Lim cannot be prosecuted again for the same offences.

Lim, 84, is currently serving a 13½-year prison sentence after the High Court reduced his original 17½-year jail term in March 2026. He was convicted in 2024 on two cheating charges and one count of abetting forgery in a case prosecutors described as one of Singapore’s most serious trade finance frauds.

Lim was convicted in May 2024 of two charges of cheating the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) and one count of abetting forgery that proceeded to trial out of a total of 130 criminal charges.

He was first charged in court on 14 August 2020, and was subsequently handed further charges in court on 25 September 2020, 30 April 2021 and 24 June 2021 for his role in perpetuating fraud on various financial institutions.

A total of 130 charges were eventually brought against him for cheating and forgery-related offences.

The following resolutions were duly passed during the meeting:

As Special Resolution

PIL's LNG dual-fuel boxship “Kota Elok” arrives in Singapore on maiden call

Singapore-based Pacific International Lines Pte Ltd on Monday (20 July) said its first 13,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessel, Kota Elok, recently made her maiden call to Singapore on 15 July.

As the first of 13 new 13,000 TEU vessels joining its fleet, Kota Elok is equipped to operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and low-sulphur fuel oil that helps reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

The vessel also incorporated energy-saving features and digital technologies to reduce fuel consumption and enhance operational performance, as well as a bow windshield to improve aerodynamics, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions over the course of long-haul voyages.

“Following Singapore, Kota Elok will continue her voyage on our East Coast Service 1 (ES1) route to South America, calling at ports in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina before returning to Asia,” the company said in a social media post.

Kota Elok also became PIL’s first vessel to receive Lloyd’s Register certification for compliance with the IACS UR E26 and UR E27 cyber security requirements.

Developed by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), UR E26 and UR E27 are mandatory cyber resilience requirements for newbuild vessels contracted from 1 July 2024.
