Travour welcomes you to the maritime hub of South East Asia, Singapore! Although Singapore has hardly any natural resources and doesn't produce any manufactured goods, its strategically advantageous geographical position as an Air and Sea port has propelled it to dizzying heights on the international logistics map and today it is undoubtedly one of the world's busiest and most successful shipping hubs. Indeed, one can't but agree with the corporate image of Ports of Singapore -as one of the busiest container ports in the world. As part of your travel itinerary of Singapore River Tours you can view the container terminals only from a distance while passing them by while cruising , or while traveling on the expressway, or from your high rise hotel room window.

The Tanjong Pagar Container Terminal was the first to begin operations for Ports of Singapore in 1972. Since then there has been no looking back for Singapore's maritime port enhancement program. As the port container volume kept on increasing, Ports of Singapore added a second terminal, Keppel in the 1980s, and then a third Terminal, Brani in the early 90s. Together, the three terminals handle Ports of Singapore container exports and imports to and from all major sea ports.

Only those with official Visitor Pass issued by the PSA can enter the vicinity of Ports of Singapore which is a heavily guarded area. Others can merrily click pictures of the stacks of containers and array of merchant container vessels which are the first land or rather sea marks that any visitor to Singapore notices! So only if you happen to be a businessman keen to venture into the Singaporean freight business or an allied trade, you will be keen on examining Ports of Singapore!

For the casual visitor just the sight of the sheer number of containers all methodically stacked in rows is mind boggling!
