A new quay crane tipped over at Tuas Port on 15 June 2025 at approximately 1:20pm whilst being delivered to a non-operational berth. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities reported, and the incident did not impact the port’s operations or facilities.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and PSA Singapore have confirmed that all current operational berths remain fully accessible, ensuring that port activities and development works continue without interruption. The incident is currently under investigation, with both PSA and MPA collaborating with relevant authorities to determine the cause.
PSA Singapore operates the world’s largest container transhipment hub, handling 40.9 million TEUs in 2024, and maintains connections to 600 ports globally. Despite the crane accident, PSA’s commitment to providing seamless port operations and services remains steadfast.
The MPA, established in 1996, continues to play a crucial role in developing Singapore as a premier global hub port and international maritime centre. It partners with industry and research communities to enhance safety, security, and environmental protection within the maritime sector.
As investigations proceed, both PSA and MPA are focused on maintaining the safety and efficiency of port operations, ensuring that such incidents do not disrupt Singapore’s strategic maritime interests.
