The Port of Singapore, run by port operators PSA International (formerly the Port of Singapore Authority) and Jurong Port, is the world's second busiest port in terms of shipping tonnage handled, after Shanghai.
Singapore also emerged as a top port in terms of cargo tonnage handled with 393 million tonnes of cargo in the same year, passing Rotterdam for the first time in the process.

 History of Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As news of the free port spread across the archipelago, Bugis, Peranakan Chinese, and Arab traders flocked to the island, seeking to circumvent the Dutch trading restrictions.
Entrepot trade, the main use of Singapore's port and the original reason for Singapore's success in the 19th century, was no longer sufficient to support the large population.

 Singapore-The Regional Maritime Hub   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Today, Singapore is the world's busiest port in terms of shipping tonnage, the world's second busiest transshipment port (80% of container traffic in Singapore is for transshipment), the world's top bunkering port, a key ship building and repair center, and has the seventh largest merchant fleet in the world.
Physically, the Port of Singapore comprises four multi-berth container terminals (Tanjong Pagar, Brani, Keppel and Pasir Panjang) and a separate general terminal, all operated by the former Port of Singapore Authority (now PSA Corporation); and a bulk and conventional cargo port and container berth, run by Jurong Port Pte.
Although Jurong Port is building up its container handling infrastructure, taking advantage of its deep draft of up to 16 meters, its government-directed focus appears more on developing new business or diverting business from other regional ports, than taking away existing business from PSA.

Spread over 2000 hectares, seven kilometres by three kilometres, SIP is comparable to the Jurong port project in Singapore or the Maasvlakte 2 port in Denmark, two of the largest such industrial ports in the world.
Not surprising then that SIP has become the envy of other ports in the Gulf region while there is also an element of fear among them that this newcomer could emerge a formidable rival for traffic in the next few years.
While 82 ships have already sailed in and out of the port within the short period of one year, even though most of it has been project related cargo, the beauty of the SIP is its location and business model.

Singapore, mainly a transshipment port, has benefited as exporters from Indonesia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries ship their goods through its terminals to Asia, Europe and the United States.
Ironically, Hong Kong port's growth rate is slowing at a time when global cargo volumes are rising on the back of growing demand from the US and Europe for China-made toys, clothing, shoes, electronic goods and furniture.
