What PSA International does
PSA International Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered global port operator and integrated supply chain solutions provider, wholly-owned by Temasek Holdings. Founded in 1964 as the Port of Singapore Authority and corporatized in 1997, PSA now operates over 70 deepsea, rail, and inland terminals across more than 180 locations in 45 countries, handling a record 105 million TEUs in 2025. Its flagship Singapore operations process approximately 20% of the world's transhipped containers, and it is the only terminal operator to have surpassed 100 million TEUs in a single year (2024).
PSA's core offering combines container terminal operations (per-TEU handling fees), integrated supply chain solutions through PSA BDP (lead logistics, 4PL, multimodal transport, customs clearance, warehousing), marine services through PSA Marine (pilotage, towage, and offshore windfarm crew transfer via 80+ tugs), and trade facilitation technology through wholly-owned CrimsonLogic. The company runs proprietary platforms — CITOS terminal operating system and PORTNET® port community platform — alongside the PSAT 4.0 technology framework, automated guided vehicles, electric RTGs, and the Opt-E-Arrive just-in-time vessel arrival platform. Major capital projects include the Tuas Mega Port (65 million TEU planned capacity, phased to the 2040s), the ILSTC China-ASEAN corridor, and the Dammam-Riyadh Ecosystem in Saudi Arabia, all unified under a Node-to-Network strategy.
Revenue model is anchored by long-term concession agreements with sovereign port authorities (e.g., four 20-year MAWANI concessions) and per-TEU transaction fees on container throughput, supplemented by managed services revenue from PSA BDP, transaction fees from PSA Marine, and licensing/royalties from CrimsonLogic's government and trade technology deployed across 40+ countries. PSA generated $8.26 billion in revenue and $1.42 billion in operating profit in FY2025, supported by 58,000 staff globally and a portfolio of subsidiaries (PSA BDP, PSA Marine, CrimsonLogic, PSA Ventures) that extend the company well beyond traditional stevedoring into port-centric logistics, trade technology, and venture investment in port automation.
