In 2025, Singapore Hit Throughput of 44.7M TEU Nationally, and 60.4M TEU Internationally
On 14 January 2026, the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) reported that it processed 44.5 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU) in its domestic ports during 2025, representing an 8.6% increase compared to 2024. Singapore is ranked as the 2nd largest container terminal in the world, behind Shanghai.
PSA terminals outside Singapore contributed an additional 60.4 million #TEU, with a 2% increase. Globally, the combined throughput of domestic and overseas ports reached nearly 105 million TEU, adding nearly 4% growth compared to 2024, despite trade tensions and geopolitical risks.
Singapore remains the world’s largest refueling station for ships, selling 57 million tonnes of traditional bunkering fuels. Alternative and green marine fuels emerged as a promising future growth direction with an increase from 1.35 million tonnes in 2024 to 1.95 million tonnes in 2025, representing a robust 45% increase year-on-year.
PSA Chairman Peter Voser underlined the outstanding performance despite ‘persistent geopolitical volatility, trade pressures, technological disruptions and climate shifts.’
“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.”
