Jurong Port Experiences Record Growth
Jurong Port is experiencing record growth in throughput. It
is currently handling a monthly
throughput of about 76,000 teus, which is an increase of 204
per cent compared to the same period last year.
The strong growth is attributed to new services introduced
by existing customers, existing customers phasing in bigger
tonnages, and new customers.
Jurong Port is now thriving
with main and feeder shipping lines calling regularly at its
Container Terminal.
Since
February this year, three new services were introduced by
existing customers. These are the Round-the-World (RTW) Service
by Norasia, Gold Star Line and China Shipping Container Lines;
the Vietnam Thailand Express (VTX) Service by Gold Star Line;
and the Haiphong Service by EP Carrier. Existing customers
have also been phasing in bigger tonnages, eg. Zim Line’s
Asia-Mediterranean-Pacific (AMP) Service started at Jurong
Port in 2002 with 2,500 – 3,000 teu capacity vessels
and now they are using 3,800 teu vessels. As a result, ZIM
Line’s throughput at Jurong Port has grown by 82 per
cent since 2002. As for new shipping line customers, Jurong
Port has added a few to its fold since late last year and
these include New Econ Line, Delmas and United Arab Shipping
Co.
Jurong Port is grateful to its customers for their support
and is looking forward to building lasting
relationships with them.
