With Singapore Land Authority’s (SLA) land alienation approval granted to PSA, MPA said that the operator can now begin constructing their maintenance base and port terminal at Berths B7 & B8, with the other berths to follow progressively.
MPA completed Phase 1 reclamation in November 2021, and PSA opened Tuas Port on September 1, 2022 with 3 berths. Today, 12 berths are operational, and PSA is on track to construct all 21 Phase 1 berths by 2027 – handling 20 mil TEUs annually.
For Phase 2 reclamation, MPA completed the first few land parcels as early as in 2024 and will be ready to hand over the land for 5 berths (B7 to B3) in June 2025 and one more (B8) in November 2025, as planned.
“Since Mar 2018, MPA, our consultant Surbana Jurong (SJ) and our contractor Penta-Ocean Construction – Hyundai Engineering & Construction – Boskalis Joint Venture (PHBJV) worked as one team to deliver the phase 2 project,” the Authority said.
According to MPA, TTP2 is now approximately 80% complete.
