Singapore, September 15, 2025 – PSA Singapore and Cosco have taken a major step forward in their long-standing partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance warehousing and logistics operations at the upcoming PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas (PSCH).
Set to begin operations in 2027, the state-of-the-art facility will serve as a comprehensive logistics hub, offering storage, distribution, cold storage, and hazardous goods handling. This collaboration underscores Singapore’s growing role as a logistics and supply chain powerhouse in the Asia-Pacific region.
Strategic Significance
The Tuas Port facility leverages Singapore’s strategic position in Southeast Asia to support the movement of high-value goods and strengthen regional supply chains. By integrating PSA’s advanced port operations with Cosco’s expansive shipping and logistics networks, the partnership promises to boost efficiency and speed for customers across Asia.
Building on a Strong Foundation
The MoU extends PSA and Cosco’s relationship beyond container port operations, reinforcing a long-term partnership that reflects their shared commitment to driving innovation in supply chain management. This is particularly significant given Cosco’s dominant role in intra-Asia trade, the world’s largest container shipping market.
Industry Context and Recognition
The collaboration comes at a time when regional trade is expanding rapidly. In the first half of 2025, PSA handled 13.28 million TEUs, with a 5.2% increase in intra-Asia freight volumes compared to 2024. Strengthening its leadership credentials, PSA International was also recognized as the Best Container Terminal Operator for the seventh time at the 2025 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Awards.
