Singapore named global premier port

The Port of Singapore has won as “Best Global Seaport” at the 2022

Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards.

This is the second time that the Port of Singapore has received the award,

the first time in 2021.

In addition, the Port of Singapore was also named “Best Seaport in Asia”

for the 34th time.

These awards recognise the contributions by the Port of Singapore to

support global supply chains and its leadership in driving maritime

transformation.

“As a leading international maritime centre and the world’s busiest

transhipment port, the Port of Singapore will continue to play our part to keep

supply chains going as the global economy recovers from COVID-19,” said Teo Eng

Dih, Chief Executive of Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

“We are humbled by the affirmation from industry and thank our tripartite

partners for their strong support. We will continue to uphold high service

standards and drive initiatives that enable Singapore to be a more vibrant,

digital and sustainable port.”

The annual AFLAS Awards is organised by freight and logistics publication,

Asia Cargo News, to honour leading service providers in the supply chain

community for demonstrating leadership as well as consistency in service

quality, innovation, customer relationship management and reliability.

Winners were determined by votes cast by readers of the publication and

announced on 7 September.

In July, Singapore secured the top spot once again in the Xinhua-Baltic

International Shipping Centre Development Index Report.

It was the ninth consecutive year that the report – published jointly by

Chinese state news agency, Xinhua, and global maritime data provider, the Baltic

Exchange – ranked Singapore as the global leading maritime centre.
