The experience begins with a 60-minute gallery tour exploring Singapore’s rich maritime history, its global connectivity, and how innovation and sustainability keep it future-ready. Participants then enjoy rare access to restricted terminals operated by PSA Singapore via an exclusive bus tour. Guided by a PSA expert, the tour traces Singapore’s evolution from a modest transshipment hub to a global maritime leader, highlighting manual crane operations at an older terminal and advanced automation at a newer terminal. The programme concludes with insights into Tuas. Port and ongoing innovations shaping the industry. Showcasing how 80% of global trade moves by sea, this immersive experience underscores Singapore’s vital role as a world-class maritime hub. Bring home an exclusive memento from PSA at the end of the bus tour!
