PSA was formerly the Port of Singapore Authority, a statutory board regulating, developing, operating and promoting the port of Singapore's terminals. In 1996, PSA's regulatory functions were handed over to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. PSA Corporation Limited was subsequently incorporated in 1997 as the corporate successor to the Port of Singapore Authority to manage and operate its terminals and related businesses. In December 2003, PSA International became the investment holding company for PSA's businesses in Singapore and world-wide. PSA International is fully-owned by Temasek Holdings.
PSA's operating entities are organised into five business regions – Southeast Asia, Middle East South Asia, Northeast Asia, Europe and Mediterranean, Americas – each headed by a regional chief executive officer responsible for its business performance. The regional CEOs report to the group CEO who is assisted by a small team of senior executives at the Corporate Centre.
Employing the finest talents in the industry, PSA delivers reliable and best-in-class service to its customers and develops win-win relationships with its partners. We continue to bring our experience and expertise in port management and operations to ports around the world as we grow our global presence.
As the port operator of choice in the world's gateway hubs, PSA is "The World's Port of Call".
In the 1970s, PSA took the pioneering step of building a container
port in Singapore, and handled its first container ship in 1972.
Container volumes grew rapidly. In 1982, the number of containers
handled crossed the one-million-TEU mark.
By 1990, container volumes handled by PSA Singapore Terminals grew
to 5 million TEUs making Singapore the world's largest container
port.
PSA took the first step in becoming a global terminal operator in
1996 when it embarked on its first overseas venture in Dalian, China.
Today, PSA is a world leading ports and terminals group.
PSA is a global brand name known for its efficiency, speed and reliability. It is a global leader in the ports and terminals business, partnering with port authorities, business agencies and MNCs to develop, manage and operate world class port projects at every corner of the globe. With its proven track record, PSA offers its customers a wealth of experience and expertise earned over three decades in the container hub business.

For more than three decades, PSA continuously developed and upgraded
its container handling infrastructure, pioneered new systems and
processes and streamlined operations to meet the rapid growth in

PSA Singapore Terminals handles about
a fifth of the world's transhipped containers. Managing, moving

operation. PSA has the tested and proven systems and technology

technology and operations research, PSA combined its extensive domain
knowledge in container operations with new technologies and innovated
CITOS (Computer Integrated Terminal Operations Systems) and PORTNET,
setting a new benchmark for connectivity, efficiency, speed and
reliability for mega-hub operations.
PSA's investment in technological innovation results in consistent
service excellence that our customers can rely on in any port where
we operate. Our dedicated operations team constantly develops solutions
to work harder for our customers, so that they enjoy the benefits
of faster, more reliable and more cost effective processes.
PSA is able to draw on its global talent pool in business development,
operations, marketing, human resource, finance, engineering and
IT and tap into the resources of the entire Group for deployment
to any of our ports around the world. PSA places great emphasis
on staff training for which it was accorded numerous awards for
people development. Training road maps are customised for employees
so they can continually upgrade their skills and serve the customer
better.
