SINGAPORE: The new Tuas Port will use automated technology to carry out its key operations as Singapore sets out to reinvigorate and re-imagine the maritime industry.

When fully completed in 2040, the mega port will be the world’s largest fully automated terminal, boasting features such as automated wharf and yard functions and full-electric automated guided vehicles, port operator PSA said yesterday.
