Eastern Pacific Shipping — film still

MARINE & OFFSHORE

The fleet betting early on ammonia and LNG

Eastern Pacific Shipping runs one of the world's largest privately held fleets — around 350 vessels, managed almost entirely in-house from a single Singapore headquarters — and has ordered ammonia and LNG dual-fuel vessels among the first of their kind at scale, as shipping prepares for tighter fuel rules.

31M DWT of dry-bulk, tanker, gas and container tonnage — one of the world's largest privately held fleets, crewed and run in-house by 7,000 people from a single Singapore headquarters.

OFFSHORE SUPPORT

An offshore fleet in eleven vessel classes, and the yard that maintains it

Vallianz charters and manages offshore support vessels across 17 territories — anchor handlers to accommodation vessels — with its own Batam yard for fabrication, docking and repair.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Putting a container depot on the roof

When SH Cogent Logistics built its logistics hub at Buroh Crescent, it put an empty-container depot on the roof — a design both companies describe as a world first. Konecranes supplied the two 12-ton overhead stacking cranes, delivered in 2017, and by its own account the award turned on a service office twenty minutes from the site.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY

The landlord of the factory floor

AIMS APAC REIT owns the warehouses, factories and business parks that Singapore's industrial companies work out of — an SGX-listed industrial landlord across Singapore and Australia.

Singapore's industrial economy is far larger than the island that runs it. A country smaller than New York City makes roughly a tenth of the world's semiconductor chips, refines and ships fuel to the global fleet, builds the rigs and floating platforms that pump deep-water oil, and manufactures medicines for eight of the ten largest drugmakers on earth. Most of that happens behind fences, in Tuas and on Jurong Island, out of public view.

The Singapore Industry Index exists to bring it into view.

ON THE WATER

The port sets records. The harbour keeps them.

Singapore moved a record 44.66 million containers through the port in 2025 and pumped a record 56.77 million tonnes of marine fuel into the world's ships — more than any port on earth. The layer beneath those records is where the industry actually works: the world's merchant and offshore fleets are ageing, with newbuild orderbooks near historic lows, so value keeps shifting toward the yards, repairers and support operators that keep existing vessels earning. That is the tier Singapore's marine companies occupy — Seatrium doubled its profit on an order book of S$17.8 billion, and around it sit the chandlers provisioning ships at anchor, the propeller shops, and the underwater husbandry divers who service hulls without a vessel ever leaving the water.

THE FACTORY FLOOR

Qualified, not cheap.

Manufacturing output rose 8.7% in 2025 and was still accelerating — up 12.2% year on year — by the middle of 2026. What the headline hides is the kind of work: Singapore's plants concentrate on products where the customer qualifies the factory, not just the price — medical, aerospace and semiconductor components built under certifications that take years to earn, with audits that trace every batch. In that tier, switching suppliers is expensive and reliability is the product. It is why one in ten of the world's chips is made here, and why 3,000-plus precision firms sit underneath the marquee names, machining to microns for customers many times their size.

THE BUILT ISLAND

A decade-high building year, mostly out of sight.

Construction demand reached S$50.5 billion in 2025 — near a decade high — and the Building and Construction Authority expects S$47–53 billion more in 2026, anchored by public infrastructure: new rail lines opening, depots under way, and a Cross Island Line programme analysts put above S$40 billion. Almost none of that work fronts a street. It is trackwork renewed between the last train and the first by specialists like Gates PCM, part of Japan's JR East group, and 22kV switchboards pulled through plant rooms by M&E contractors like Puretech — a graded trade in which a firm's registration class with the BCA decides how large a public tender it may hold.
