Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has posted record results in 2025, with vessel arrivals, container throughput, and marine fuel sales all reaching new highs.
Gross tonnage of vessel arrivals rose 3.5 per cent year-on-year to 3.22 billion GT, while container throughput increased 8.6 per cent to a record 44.66 million TEUs. Marine fuel sales also hit an all-time high of 56.77 million tonnes, up 3.4 per cent from 2024, supported by growing demand for alternative marine fuels, which reached 1.95 million tonnes.
MPA said the performance reflects resilient global trade flows and Singapore’s continued role as a major transhipment, bunkering, and maritime services hub. The port was named the world’s leading container port in the inaugural DNV–Menon global rankings and retained its top position in the Xinhua–Baltic International Shipping Centre Development Index.
Despite ongoing geopolitical and trade uncertainties, Singapore expects maritime activity to remain resilient, supported by continued growth in seaborne trade and diversification of global shipping routes.
