SINGAPORE - Three berths are now in operation at Tuas Port, which is set to be the world's biggest fully automated port when completed in the 2040s.

"Tuas Port is where we can help to realise the immense potential of Singapore as a trade hub for the world." A total of five berths should be operational by year end.
