Port's Cement Terminal, commissioned in 1997, is one
of the largest common-user cement facilities in the
world. The facility is installed with specialized cement
handling system to provide integrated support to the
Singapore cement industry.
The Terminal has an annual handling capacity of over
four million tonnes. It is well-supported by two dedicated
berths of 40,000 deadweight tonnes capacity each and
three screw-type unloaders. The Terminal also uses the
latest technology of an enclosed air-slide conveyor
system to ensure a pollution-free environment.
Currently, the Terminal houses six companies with twelve
cement silos of 300,000 tonnes in total storage capacity.
In a cluster, the companies enjoy economies of scale,
higher efficiency and greater cost-savings. In addition,
they can fully concentrate on their business and leave
the discharging operations from vessels to silos entirely
to the Port.
