The Port of Singapore has won the “Best Seaport in Asia” award at the 2016 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Awards (AFLAS) held in Shanghai, China. The Port of Singapore clinched the award for its leading performance on a range of criteria including cost competitiveness, container shipping-friendly fee regime, provision of suitable container shipping-related infrastructure, timely and adequate investment in new infrastructure to meet future demand, and the facilitation of ancillary services.

This is the 28th time that the port has been recognised for its performance.

The AFLAS was organised by the freight and logistics publication Asia Cargo News. Organisations are honoured for demonstrating leadership and consistency in service quality, innovation, customer relationship management and reliability. These are determined by votes cast by Asia Cargo News readers.
