新加坡四大集装箱港区由于水深受限、设施更新缓慢，无法满足超大型船舶的靠泊与作业。为进一步巩固新加坡在亚洲地区的海运服务与航运中心地位，眼下，新加坡正在最西边的大士建设一个新的港口——大士港。

据新加坡媒体报道，该项目预计将于2040年落成，耗资高达200亿新元，相当于1000多亿元人民币。届时，它将成为世界上最大的全自动化港口，每年可以处理6500万个标准集装箱，数量接近现在的两倍。

Tuas Port was officially opened on 1 September 2022. At its targeted completion in the 2040s, Tuas Port will have a handling capacity of 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), almost double the volume of 37.5mil TEUs handled in 2021. For comparison, Pasir Panjang Terminal has 37 berths with a handling capacity of 34 million TEUs annually. Tuas Port will occupy about 1,337ha of land (approximately 3,300 football fields) when completed. There will be 66 berths spanning 26km capable of handling the largest container ships.
