Port Intelligence — What freight teams need to know

PTP is actively positioning itself as the Singapore alternative for transhipment. Wait times of ~1.8 days in Feb 2026 with berth dynamics remaining fluid. Critical: Berth 4 (300m) was unavailable for 7 days in weeks 10-11 for new crane installation — this kind of infrastructure investment signals capacity growth but creates temporary bottlenecks. Growing number of alliances routing here to avoid PSA congestion.
