Singapore turns 60 this year, and everyone’s pulling out all the stops – including PSA Singapore. To mark the nation’s diamond jubilee, the port operator has unveiled a limited-time installation at Tanjong Pagar Terminal, Singapore’s very first container port.
Made up of 271 containers from 14 different shipping lines, the striking visual installation spells out “PSA” and “SG” with a bold pink heart between them. The tribute was assembled over the course of 32 hours by PSA workers and measures an impressive 57 metres by 101 metres, towering 14.6 metres high.
The installation will be lit up nightly from July 25 to August 13, casting a vibrant glow over Singapore’s historic port precinct. Beyond its Instagram-worthy appearance, the display is also a nod to Singapore’s rich maritime heritage, as well as PSA’s longstanding partnerships with stakeholders across the shipping and supply chain industries.
This isn’t the first time PSA has celebrated a national milestone with a container display. In 2017, it earned a place in the Guinness World Record for Largest Shipping Container Image for its lion head installation made up of 359 containers, .
To mark SG60, PSA will also host a charity walk and run on July 25 in support of social service agency Care Corner Singapore, alongside other celebratory initiatives.
How can I see these containers?
The SG60 container display will be lit up every evening from July 25 to August 13. While the Tanjong Pagar Terminal itself is not open to the public, you can still catch a glimpse of the display from nearby high-rise spots and waterfront areas.
Where are the best places to go in Singapore with a view of this?
You won’t be able to walk right up to the display—but you can catch a good view of it from elevated spots around the city. Here are a few recommendations:
-
Marina One East or West Tower – Photographers have reported being able to snap pictures from Marina One.
