  FOR the 23rd time the Port of Singapore took home the title of the Best Seaport in Asia, given out at the 25th Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards on Wednesday.

  It trumped 12 other competitors - the ports of Hong Kong, Shanghai Yangshan, Busan, Klang, Kaohsiung, Laem Chabang, Tanjung Pelepas, Manila, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Dalian - to garner the highest number of votes from terminal operators, freight forwarders, shipping lines and shippers from across Asia.

  Among other things, the port was recognised for its cost competitiveness and container shipping-friendly fee structure, provision of suitable container shipping-related infrastructure, timely and adequate investment in new infrastructure to meet future demand, and the facilitation of ancillary services - including logistics and freight forwarding facilities.

  The port also maintained its global leading position in terms of vessel arrival tonnage and bunker sales and recorded good growth for 2010.

  Said Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore chief executive Lam Yi Young: 'Winning the Best Seaport in Asia award for the 23rd time clearly affirms the confidence the maritime community has in Singapore, amidst growing competition in Asia.'

  I reckon this type of news is only interesting when we don't get best, or number 1.
