全球化加速航運在亞洲的重要性, 新加坡為規劃其下一世紀新型的港口, 舉辦國際競圖, 團隊以永續、智慧、創新、綠色港口為出發, 提出新一代港口之設計…… 

Globalization has increased inter-continental trade and thereby inter-continental shipping. It is beyond doubt, that sea transportation will dominate over air transportation for a long time yet, at least until a more environmental friendly energy source can be found for airplanes. Many of these shipments carry the necessities of our daily lives. The neighboring countries of Singapore are hotbeds of raw material suppliers, assembly factories as well as end users. Singapore will strengthen its position as a “Global Distribution Center” in Asia and will need a high capacity, high performance, agile and green container port in the next generation. The revolutionary concept needs to satisfy high capacity in a limited space. Vertical storage, increasing operational efficiency and shortening container stay are key strategies in our proposal. Obviously, the current berth would not be able to handle the container capacity. We need to increase the berths as well as increase the mobility of operations. Besides upgrading the Cargo Management Strategies, our team also took Environmental Responsibility into consideration. On the basis of Productivity, Performance and Sustainability for the new generation container port, SINGPort proposes a design that spells: Sustainable, Intelligent, Neoteric, Green Port.
