Singapore’s Jurong Port hopes to attract larger bulkers from further afield following a major investment in its facilities.

The company is spending SGD 200m ($146m) to develop a ready-mixed concrete (RMC) port-centric ecosystem over the next three years.

Believed to be the world’s first-of-its-kind common user facility, the RMC ecosystem expects to see about 6m tonnes of aggregates discharged at the port per annum.
