PSA INTERNATIONAL has unveiled its new PSA Supply Chain Hub (PSCH) as part of its strategic expansion within the Tuas Port.
Scheduled for opening in 2027, the Singaporean port operator said the new facility is poised to transform the country’s logistics and supply chain landscape.
Situated strategically next to Tuas Port within the Free Trade Zone, PSCH will operate as a regional distribution centre and container freight station, intending to be integrated into the island nation’s supply ecosystem.
PSA says the new facility will span more than 185,000 square metres and will be equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as robotics and automation systems, including automated storage and retrieval systems, and the Intelligent Warehouse eXchange technology.
The company says adoption of the technologies 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.
PSA also highlighted the hub’s environmental focuses, incorporating eco-friendly features such as renewable energy sources, sustainable drainage systems, and an energy-efficient design, which align with the company’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
Peter Voser, group chairman of PSA International said, “The PSA Supply Chain Hub at Tuas 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,” Mr Voser said.
“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 PSA to rethink its 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,” Mr Pong said.
“With the PSA Supply Chain Hub at 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 routes and networks.”
The development of the PSCH builds upon PSA’s prior experience in the port adjacencies ecosystem, including the management of PSA Keppel Distripark, a multi-tenanted cargo distribution complex.
Along with the city terminals at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, and Brani, operations at Keppel Distripark will also be consolidated at Tuas Port by 2027.
