PSA and Ocean Network Express (ONE) have launched an environmentally friendly barge sailing service from PSA Singapore to PSA Jurong Island Terminal in November. This collaboration marks another milestone for the two like-minded and eco-conscious partners, as both collectively strive for decarbonisation to limit the impact of terminal and shipping activities on our environment.

PSA International Regional CEO Southeast Asia Ong Kim Pong said, “PSA is excited to embark on this greener mode of cargo transportation with ONE, bringing our long-standing partnership and shared vision to the next level. Our collaboration has not only optimised operational efficiency, but also created a greener ‘marine highway’ option for shippers and carriers as we stay committed to greening the industry. With this cleaner mode of transport, PSA has further built on our vision to orchestrate supply chains better and more sustainably.”

Transportation of container-on-barge – or barge shipping – is a more environmentally friendly mode of cargo transportation compared to truck operations. This joint endeavour could realise a reduction of up to 30 per cent of greenhouses gases (GHG) emissions for every twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) container moved. This barge service will be used to transport empty containers to PSA Jurong Island Terminal – a two berth barge terminal – for ONE’s customers located on Jurong Island.
