Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hailed the mega project as a port of the future and a critical engine driving Singapore's economy.
Tuas Port, expected to be the world's largest fully automated port upon completion, can accommodate the world's largest container ships and will be able to handle larger vessels built in the future. It will also be able to manage a larger number and greater density of vessel movements safely and efficiently.
Reclamation works for the first phase of the mega port project were completed late last year, with reclamation works for Phase 2 under way. Thursday morning's ceremony was also attended by container port operator PSA International group chairman Peter Voser, ministers, as well as industry stakeholders.
Port workers have embraced new technologies and skills which will improve their productivity and make their jobs more comfortable and attractive, according to Mr Lee.
