S'pore-Shanghai team wins US$1m 'future container port' challengeLong-time rivals pair up to beat six other finalists for award
[SINGAPORE] The ports of Singapore and Shanghai have been competing with each other for years for the title of the world's busiest port.
This rivalry just got friendlier: a Singapore-Shanghai team was last night named the winner of the Next Generation Container Port (NGCP) Challenge, beating six other finalists to the US$1 million (S$1.24 million) prize money.
The NGPC Challenge, launched by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Singapore Maritime Institute, was an open call to the world for ideas on a transhipment port of the future. It attracted 56 submissions from 25 countries.
The aim was to come up with a container port that could achieve a "quantum leap" in port performance, productivity and sustainability.
