Ltd., has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PSA Port Ecosystem (SEA) Pte. Ltd. The agreement, signed on 5 September, outlines the parties’ intention to explore potential collaborations for a new warehouse facility, PSA Supply Chain Hub @ Tuas, in Singapore.
The proposed collaboration aims to establish a regional distribution centre to serve markets across South-East Asia and Asia, focusing on regional transshipment. However, the MOU does not constitute a legally binding agreement, and there is no guarantee that it will lead to definitive agreements.
