Singapore – gateway to Australia and the Far East
There are reasons as to why Singapore has been voted as the world’s top maritime shipping hub, consecutively for 8 years.
Out of 43 locations across the globe (as measured by the Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Centre Development (ISCD) Index), Singapore retains the number one spot ahead of London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Dubai and Rotterdam.
The rankings take into account port factors including:
– cargo throughput, number of cranes, length of container berths
– number of maritime support businesses such as shipbroking, ship management, financing, insurance, underwriters etc…
– general business environment factors, such as favourable customs tariffs, ease of doing business, logistics performance, digitalisation of administration etc…
There is no sign of the city/state’s progress abating as they seek to invest $15B into all aspects of maritime trade, with technology in particular getting attention – with 36.9m containers passing through the port, anything that can help the flow of goods will be well received.
