Last year the managed harbour terminals from group PSA International of Singapore have enlivened a traffic of the container pairs to 65,44 million teu, with a progression of +5.8% regarding 61,8 million teu in 2013. In the 2014 single terminal operated from the group in the port of Singapore they have enlivened 33,55 million teu (+4.1%), while the PSA terminals abroad have totaled a traffic pairs to 31,89 million teu (+7.8%).
"Last year - the managing director of the group PSA, Tan Chong Meng has commented - it has been difficult for the shipping and the harbour industry. Altogether the increase of the world-wide traffics has been modest and this, with the introduction of many much large ships, has determined a sovracapacità and a low level of the installments of hire for the companies that operate in the line field. Moreover the greater number of larger ships and the presence of complex alliances has determined more emphasized operating pressure on the harbour operators. This - it has found Meng - is a structural evolution that will have an impact on all the ports since the ships employed on all the marine routes continue to grow of dimensions. In this difficult scene - it has I know - group PSA has realized a solid performance and would want to thank the direction, the staff and the unions of PSA for the unshakable dedication and the indeed meaningful contributions".
