MSC to speak about standalone East/West network and port efficiency at Singapore Maritime Week 2025
MSC will be returning to Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) to connect with customers and share exciting insights into its new standalone East/West network. Together with PSA, it will also be explaining how Tuas Port is boosting operational efficiencies for customers across Asia during its experts’ presentation at Expo@SMW on Wednesday 26 March.
As a silver sponsor of SMW 2025, MSC will be speaking at the Expo Theatre for the first time. Jack See, General Manager of MSC Asia Regional Office’s Trade Department, and Jamie Deng, Line Manager for Transpacific Trade, will provide essential updates on the new MSC standalone East/West network and how it drives success for customers’ businesses, followed by an interactive Q&A session.
This unique network is built around customers, offering the direct port pairs, flexibility and speed they need to operate in an era of elevated risk and evolving supply chain patterns. It features a total of around 35 loops across five key trades, including fast and reliable connections from Asia to North America, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
MSC General Manager of Operations, Kelvin Tan, will then be joined by guest speaker Tan Liang Hui, PSA’s Vice President of Tuas Development, Strategic Port Technology, Solutions & Services, to explain how Tuas Port is taking operational efficiency to new heights. MSC-PSA Asia Terminal (MPAT) is operating at this state-of-the-art facility, which is playing an increasingly important role in our operations in Singapore, the world’s largest transhipment hub.
Currently the world’s largest fully automated container terminal, Tuas Port will have an annual handling capacity of 65 million TEUs when fully completed in the 2040s.
At SMW from 25 to 27 March, MSC will also be welcoming customers to its booth at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, Level 4, Hall 405, Booth H19. Reflecting SMW’s theme of ‘Actions Meet Ambition’, the booth will focus on MSC’s decarbonisation journey – including the largest and most ambitious fleet renewal programme with an orderbook of 150 dual-fuel LNG vessels – as well as its industry-leading whale protection efforts.
MSC has been shipping cargo to and from Singapore for nearly 30 years, opening both its Asia Regional Office and MSC Singapore in the Garden City in 1996. Now, with the launch of its new standalone network, the company is delighted to offer even more business opportunities to customers across the region.
