New Market Study Published: Singapore Shipping Report Q2 2014

New Transportation market report from Business Monitor International: "Singapore Shipping Report Q2 2014"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2014 -- Our outlook for the port of Singapore for 2014 is that it will not overtake the port of Shanghai for the crown of the world's largest container port. We now see such a scenario as unlikely to fall out, and we believe that Shanghai will increase its lead over Singapore, not only this year but over our medium-term forecast period to 2019. Nevertheless, growth in Singapore will remain positive, buoyed by a return to growth (albeit tentative and uneven) in Europe, and the ongoing recovery in the US.

Headline Industry Data

- Port of Singapore's gross tonnage will grow by 3.2% in 2014 and will expand at the same average rate over our medium-term forecast period to 2018.
- Port of Singapore box handling set to grow by 3.0% in 2014, with average annual growth set at 3.6% per annum over the medium term.
- The country's overall trade will grow by 3.4% in real terms in 2014 and will average 4.1% to 2018.
