In 2025, Singapore's port saw record vessel arrivals and container throughput, showcasing resilience amid global trade disruptions.
The Port of Singapore reported record vessel arrivals, container throughput, and bunker sales in 2025 despite global trade disruption, reports London's Riviera Maritime Media.
Vessel arrivals reached 3.2 billion gross tonnage, marking a 3.5 percent increase from 2024, while container throughput rose by 8.6 percent to 44.7 million TEU. The port continues to hold its position as the world's largest transshipment hub.
Marine bunker sales climbed by 3.4 percent to 56.8 million tonnes. Conventional fuels accounted for 97 percent of sales; however, biofuels, LNG, and methanol experienced significant increases, reflecting the rise of dual-fuel ships and ongoing efforts to reduce emissions.
Alternative fuel sales reached 1.9 million tonnes, up from 1.3 million tonnes in 2024. Biofuel sales surged by 56.2 percent to 1.4 million tonnes, LNG increased by 23.9 percent to 571,000 tonnes, and methanol saw an impressive rise of 87.5 percent to 3,000 tonnes. No ammonia sales were recorded, although ships equipped with ammonia dual-fuel engines are expected to enter service this year.
Senior Minister of State for Law and Transport Murali Pillai announced the port's performance at the Singapore Maritime Foundation New Year Conversations event on January 13.
