The Port of Singapore is consistently ranked as the world's busiest transshipment hub, where cargo is transferred between ships rather than unloaded for a final domestic destination, handling tens of millions of containers each year. Its position along the Strait of Malacca has made it a critical link in global shipping for over a century.
