The Port of Singapore Authority (PSA International) has invested US $1.3 billion—the largest-ever investment by any country in such a facility—to develop the 4.8-million TEU terminal.
The port also boasts the country’s longest wharf at 2,000 metres. Officials said the terminal will significantly boost India’s trade and maritime connectivity with other regions.
Leaders from both countries also toured the port facilities.
