PSA Corporation is also has the world’s largest refrigerated container (reefer) port with about 5,000 reefer points handling more than 500,000 reefers in 2006¹⁸ .

The other major industry player in Singapore is Jurong Port. As a major gateway for multi-purpose cargo in Singapore, Jurong Port is well-equipped with facilities and services to handle containers and a variety of bulk and general cargo. Jurong Port’s cement terminal is also one of the largest common-user cement facilities in the world.

Passenger Terminals
The Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) is currently the only cruise and ferry terminal operator in Singapore, with four passenger terminals that handled about 7.8 million¹⁹ cruise and ferry passengers in 2006.
