Singapore’s PSA, the world’s largest port operator, saw container throughput fall 0.7% in 2022, bucking the trend with a 71.2% rise in revenue。

PSA reported a surge in revenue for 2022 driven bybusiness acquisitions and higher storage income, although volumes dipped in the face of continuing globaluncertainties.

PSA handled 90.9 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a contraction of 0.7% from the previous year, with PSA Singapore contributing 37.0 million TEUs, and PSA terminals outside Singapore delivered a total throughput of 53.9 million TEUs, both 0.7% lower than 2021.

Nonetheless, the PSA Group revenue increased by 71.2%, supported by business acquisitions and higher storage income.

It said that profit from operations increased by 15.3%, and overall net profit for the year increased by 13.1% from the previous year due to growth in other income and contribution from acquisitions.

PSA noted that on a like-for-like basis, revenue and net profit increased 6.4% and 8.8%, respectively, from the prior year.

Peter Voser, group chairman of PSA International, tagged 2022 as a year “marked by unpredictability” as he noted global challenges that impacted operations last year.

“Even as COVID-19 transitioned to endemic for most major economies and people learned to live under a new normal, businesses and communities continued to face macroeconomic uncertainties arising from geopolitical challenges such as ongoing trade sanctions, the war in Ukraine; record inflation, rising fuel and energy costs, supply chain disruptions and growing climate-related pressures,” Voser said.

Despite these many challenges, he noted that PSA “stayed focused” on its strategic priorities and delivered a “commendable performance” for 2022.

全球最大港口运营商新加坡港务集团2022年集装箱吞吐量下降0.7%，营收逆势大涨71.2%

新加坡国际港务集团（PSA）报告称，受业务收购和较高存储收入的推动，2022年的收入激增，尽管由于全球持续的不确定性，销量有所下降。

截至2022年12月31日，PSA处理了9090万个20英尺当量单位（TEU），与上一年相比收缩了0.7%，其中PSA新加坡贡献了3700万个TEU，新加坡以外的PSA码头的总吞吐量为5390万个TEUs，均比2021低0.7%。

尽管如此，PSA集团的收入增长了71.2%，这得益于业务收购和更高的存储收入。

该公司表示，由于其他收入的增长和收购贡献，今年的运营利润增长了15.3%，整体净利润比上年增长了13.1%。

PSA指出，在同类基础上，收入和净利润分别比上年增长6.4%和8.8%。

PSA国际集团主席Peter Voser将2022年称为“充满不可预测性”的一年，他指出了去年影响运营的全球挑战。

“尽管新冠肺炎已成为大多数主要经济体的流行病，人们也学会了在新常态下生活，但企业和社区仍面临着由地缘政治挑战引起的宏观经济不确定性，这些挑战包括持续的贸易制裁、乌克兰战争、创纪录的通货膨胀、不断上涨的燃料和能源成本、供应链中断以及与气候相关的压力，”Voser说。

尽管面临诸多挑战，他指出，PSA“始终专注于”其战略重点，并在2022年取得了“值得称赞的业绩”。

“In recent years, we have been transforming our business and broadening our capabilities to better serve global supply chain stakeholders. Even as we continue building on our core business of ports, we have invested in growing our ability to offer logistics and supply chain solutions beyond the port,” the chairman of PSA International added.

PSA国际董事长补充道：“近年来，我们一直在转型业务，扩大能力，以更好地为全球供应链利益相关者服务。即使我们继续在港口核心业务的基础上发展，我们也在投资提高我们在港口以外提供物流和供应链解决方案的能力。”。

Voser said2022 was also a very significant year for PSA as it inaugurated the mega Tuas port in Singapore and fully acquired global logistics solutions provider BDP International.

Voser表示，2022年对PSA来说也是非常重要的一年，因为它在新加坡启用了大士港，并全面收购了全球物流解决方案提供商BDP International。

“These important milestones, amongst others, have extended our capabilities to serve cargo owners as a supply chain orchestrator and bring us closer to the goal of enabling more resilient and sustainable trade,” he added.

他补充道：“除其他外，这些重要的里程碑扩大了我们作为供应链协调人为货主服务的能力，使我们更接近实现更具弹性和可持续贸易的目标。”

“In line with PSA’s long-term strategy, the organisation has now been restructured into two core businesses — Ports and Cargo Solutions, with mid-mile logistics being value-added services that we term “Port+”, which will be our unique service differentiator.”

“根据PSA的长期战略，该组织现已重组为两个核心业务-港口和货运解决方案，中里程物流是我们称之为“港口+”的增值服务，这将是我们独特的服务差异。”

Moving forward, he noted that PSA would also invest in further efforts to foster a more “inclusive, diverse and collaborative environment” in its businesses, citing the importance of culturein the successful transformation of organisations.

展望未来，他指出，PSA还将投资于进一步努力，在其业务中培养一个更“包容、多样化和协作的环境”，并指出文化在组织成功转型中的重要性。
