From what I understand, our SG port is still very very congested with our transshipment volumes increasing over the years, and our main focus today are transshipment and bunkering. I believe we still have plenty of room for expansion.

We will face competition elsewhere and that is unavoidable, but the bigger picture is our Port of Singapore is vulnerable to global events rather than just because of increased competition so we are doomed. Thats not the case.

Port Louis of Mauritius is a classic example I can think of. Port Louis was severely affected by the opening of Suez Canal in 19th century. But Port Louis did not collapse or fade away completely as they were still involved in some lighterage and transshipment activities. Besides, the old shipping routes did not just died out completely with the opening of Suez Canal. When Suez Canal was shut down in the 1960s-1970s, activity picked up at Port Louis and they modernized and expanded their facilities during those years. The current Red Sea disruptions also has contributed to increased activity in modern times as some vessels choose the old shipping routes which will definitely for sure call at Port Louis before heading to Asia or Africa. So today, although no longer playing a significant role and of such heavy importance like pre-Suez Canal era, Port Louis still remains as a main transshipment centre for vessels active in Indian Ocean region between Africa and Asia.

Purely just because of increased competition is realistically not enough to bring down a port completely. Is really how to take advantage of changing global landscape and adjust accordingly.

Tuas megaport is operating to improve efficiency. If really cannot met the needs, LW will build port in the southern island. Whos know. If combin sudong, sebarok, samakau, pawai and senang island is very piece of land. Maybe for special products or short transit vessels

Semakau is getting bigger. All combine another big megaport. Huat ah.

We got Harvard team of ministers. They sure know about this and keep discussing about the volume.

We need tpp FTA and one belt one road FTA

Continue to vote for PAP 吧。

The detour is a lot more costly compared something like the Thailand land canal which I feel is a dumb idea... it is solely for China backup shipping access... they scare US shut down Malacca Straits... then affect their trading route...

Read a few non-China analysis on Hainan's FTZ / FTP. Hint: No mention of Singapore at all.

We having the best position in the world after suez canal and panama canal.

Our seaport is our natural resources can earn more than Malaysia oil and rubber. If really kra canal, pap really have to 甩手段 to block them. Evil also must do. Else our natural resource. which is the seaport gone

Singapore got natural resources
- top in medical in this region
- top in airfreight and many airlines stop in Singapore ( competitor is Bangkok - Singapore must host more airlines so that transit or transhipment or attract into Singapore)
- global financial hub
- seaport

Really rely on these resources to tan jiak

Nowadays government not easy also. Have to give CDC voucher and money to everyone. Make people happy

it is over for singapore n sinkies. PRChina split thailand into 1/2 and create hainan free port country to finish us off. pretty much on tiktok, instagram, x and threads the sentiment spreading abt singapore is that we are finished if we dont align with prchina. i have no more confidence for singapore to survive. we r so fcuked by prchina
