Good luck.

sg will angry

Sg n Msia also gg

What is land bridge ?

SG will invade Thailand.

Hurt SG more than us tbh. They go all out with their port, we dont.

There will be economic pushback from Singapore, serious

port on both end, connect by road/rail

Meanwhile PAS and DBKL, banning liquor more important.

Haiz..Not practical la. Need to load and unload. I think it will be more costly.

wat happen to kra canal?

With this and
EV taking out petrol consumption.

Malaysia really GGWP.

segenting kra?

we don't need fdi no need port. PAS puas hati

some accident will take place at the port..

ini mcam ka

the land bridge use to transport cargo ship or cargo only?

my guess, once this completes. SG probably shift towards fintech and silicon valley of SEA already. With HK slowly closer to China, SG will be a stronger financial hub for those anti China.

kelantan PAS hapi. more job for their ppl. so kelantanese might be new bangla there. and border there just put, selamat pulang anak perantau.

You think SG no Plan B?

The Thai land bridge decision must have been made some time ago. SG must have known about it already.

me dont know the economic
but putting 9500 container lorry on single expressway, that capacity of 1 very large container ship...

sos mana sos?

if thats the case i think its time to pull out temporarily from freight related stocks liao

let them fight

Thailand is talking cock lah. Who is going to offload their cargo in Ranong (1 business day), load it onto trucks/train to bring it to Chumphon (1 business day), and reload it onto another vessel (1 business day) in Chumphon, and pay all the different handling fees? Might as well spend the extra 1-2 days to offload in Singapore.

GG Msia & SG

Wow, logistical nightmare Good luck.

Honestly SG should still do it either way. Thai has been flaunting new canal projects many times on many different location before. Kra got scrap, this one probably will too. They just talk a lot.

Land bridge kepala otak.... space bridge is what we want.... Starscream... open the Space Bridge...

"“If we construct deep sea ports in Chumphon and Ranong and connect them with a land bridge that has dual tracked railway and highways for 120 kilometers… that would save two days of sailing [through the Malacca Straits],” he said."
- 2 Days? Worth it to unload, reload to land transport... reach the other side, unload and reload into another ship? Need 2 ships instead of one? Seriously... by physics alone, the resistance to move on water is already gg compared to land. To save that 2 days you need a JIT coordination between 2 ships and a very very long cargo train.

The Kra Canal was the spot on project but they were afraid of the different sea levels between the two sides of the country... despite having a good case study ... the Suez Canal.

Bila nak start to use sound vibration to move object again?

If this project successful chances to make East Coast Rail Link project pretty become not relevant pretty high loo..... sad

Kra canal more feasible.... Then build a bridge over it.

luckily they didnt go ahead with the Kra Canal

Dock - unload - transport to another port - load - matilanak la.

Are they trying to make the kra canal seem more feasible?

agree, PSA is the heartbeat of SG

Same idea like ecrl?

this if introduced will collapse the SG shipping industry.

CCP will be velli happi.

may be railway line or dedicated container truck highway

wanna divert river, now eat this. 🤭😁

Hail new island of Malaya. Tourist love islands.

I belive it when I see it.

How long time does it take to unload, transport, load goods? Compared to just sail around the straits. Time is money.

What do you think transshipment ports have been doing all this time?

It's a land bridge, not a canal. Jangan bodo lah.

Can give Selat Melaka a good run for its money. The turnaround time will be crucial.

Selat Melaka currently the busiest and most congested seaway in the world, not to mention quite rife with piracy also.

Lol those that said it'll hurt SG more than us.

From a simple picture, it seems like it. If you understand more on how SG government works, then you'll know nothing can hurt it economically. Love it or hate it, SG will always topple anything that might put their economy in jeopardy. And for this, SG has foreseen it way long ago and they knew this might happen someday somehow. Even if this project were to fail again, in future it'll still happen anyhow. SG is slowly shifting it's dependency on ports some time ago anyway.

Whilst Malaysia, we're the one who gets screwed big time.

Singapore tuas mega port open at this year phase 1 !!!!!!!

“The Port of Singapore is a free port, and the trade thereof is open to ships and vessels of every nation, equally and alike to all.”

So wrote British colonial agent Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 after he established by treaty the port of Singapore, having purchased the island from a local sultan.


Almost exactly two centuries later, Singapore remains one of the


World’s busiest and most strategically important maritime hubs.


Today, the port attracts 130,000 vessel calls on average a year, while the maritime industry


Accounts for 7% of Singapore’s GDP


and 170,000 jobs



, a figure that is set to grow after Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo revealed that



13,000 more jobs be created in the aviation and maritime by 2025.

“Singapore commands a strategic position as a maritime hub in the regional and global arena,” says head of Baltic Exchange Asia Lu Su Ling.



“The maritime industry is, and will remain, a big contributor to Singapore’s economy, and it is therefore important that we continue to innovate and invest in this sector to achieve long-term success.”

Size matters: inside the Tuas mega-port expansion project
That investment shows no signs of drying up anytime soon.

The next significant landmark in the Port of Singapore’s evolution, the Tuas mega-port expansion project, is due for completion by 2040.


Slated to be the world’s largest container terminal, the complex is being constructed in 4 phases, with the 20 million-TEU first stage set for delivery in 2021 at a cost of S$2.42bn (US$1.76bn).


Consolidating container handling at the site, it will improve efficiency and vessel turnaround times, enabling the port to handle 65m TEU annually, compared with 45m at its four existing box terminals.

told you it will happen

Any country use this kind of technology???

Sg will cry???

Save 2 days?
Unload/Loading/transport not take more time meh?
Just like our Kuantan port plans.
At least Kuantan port plans to use ECRL and have Kuantan Industrial park to use it.

Why???

Weren't they talking about digging a canal through Songkla or something.

Potong plus road
5555

off course.
kra isthamus is such a threat, the kilometres saved is just no brainer, and so close proximity to bangkok and vietnam and cambodia etc.

now u know why singapore needs that hsr desperately

This post has been edited by judas: Mar 3 2021, 06:55 PM

so what have they put into motion to fix this?

If PN is clever they will revisit hsr between KL and sg. Hsr From KL to SG will create a megalopolis With 600+ b GDP and population of 20 mil. Then we can crush Thailands dream of their project

Singapore as a port die. Port Klang die. Penang port die

so the kapal berjalan on road? owai

Talking about this more than 20 years already. Sign dunno how many hundreds MOU as well. My former kompeni also part of IMT (indo-My-Th) agreement in 1995, sign for projects that time also tak jadi. Now want to see how far can go.

cukur will have cleaner straits of malacca... PD will be leaner soon

The efficiency of Singapore is second to non.
Land port sure no use for Mega container ship or super tanker.

singapore plan to use hsr rail to ship good also???

why always no jadi?

high cost?

talking 20 years already

everytime failed

It would appeal to smaller shipping companies from area surrounding SCS to just go there to load containers delivered from the West.

But for bigger container ships that have large shipment to Far East countries like China & Japan, they would just bypass this. Too much handling fee & movement, not to say additional dealing with custom & immigration.

Some more developed port like SG have better vessel support & services.

I would say benefits are highly questionable.

On the other hand, if they manage to dig a canal from east to west, that would upset things.

Hopefully Thai can guarantee the safety of shipping from separatist attack

Let the project finish... Then annex thailand... Profit!

Bodoh

Container unload, go through jalan, then again onto vessel???

Facepalm

Malaysia also can copy. Kelantan and perlis

Panama canal versi asia

Msia will survive.. But SG will gg...

Unload then reload + waiting total how many days?

I doubt they have the money and political stability to make it happen

But if it does, MY & SG ports will suffer huge losses

sg is well known in bribing thai politicians to reject kra canal project.

Pick up whole container ship and use hovering technology developed by Thai engineering

lol.... their model is similar to MY, elites are heading GLCs. put some troopers and hope for change of government. kiasu economy terus collapse.

The land bridge cross Myanmar? Lel good luck

except for go thru jalan, isnt that what they do in singapore?

Ok
Lets claim back Bukit
Then malaysia own the south
Prosperity

Just a rail track dedicated for cargo will do. One train can haul almost one ship's number of containers across.

You think use truck one by one?

the map doesnt do justice la.
its like this one



and current prayut o cha looks like into it already.

Recently Singapore has been very disobedient to China and uncooperative.

This project could be China's move to change the dynamics of SEA trade and game changer to Western dominance.

There will be a war coming soon and unrest in SEA region if this continues.

Westerners are already funding unrest and liberation movements in Myanmar and Thailand to make sure this doesn't happen.

WWIII inkambing

they are very dependents on tourism.
tourism operators no like port facility.
they also have penangnite like not on my backyard mentality. everything also complain.

of course siam people say, sinki are funding these NGO.

Finally it happens.

If I’m Kelantan Perlis, I’ll start to promote FDI and highlight how fast we can reach Thailand instead keep dreaming

lol........

good luck with that

Yeah that's why I think the West got involvement in stirring the recent protest and unrest in both Myanmar and Thailand. They don't want these 2 countries to get too friendly with China's influence and jeopardize their investments/interests in both Singapore and Indonesia in this region.

what do you think happened at tuas?

exactly they unload from another ship, take the content of kontena from various location and do final assembly at Jurong slap a made in Singapore sticker before packing it back on another kontena and load it up to another ship.

also thailand are building two of these

source????

What does China say to claims it played a role in Myanmar’s military coup?

Protesters outside the Chinese embassy in Yangon accuse Beijing of aiding the coup plotters

China denies it had knowledge of the overthrow of the elected government headed by Aung San Suu Kyi


Pro-democracy protesters have staged repeated demonstrations outside the Chinese embassy in Yangon, Myanmar’s commercial capital, demanding that Beijing stop supporting the country’s junta.

Myanmar’s military overthrew the elected government in a coup on February 1 and put de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint under house arrest.
Holding up signs saying “Support Myanmar, Don’t support dictators” and “Stop helping the military”, the protesters accuse Beijing of aiding the coup plotters.
China, which has major strategic and economic interests in the Southeast Asian country, has denied prior knowledge of or involvement in the coup.
However, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Myanmese officials, including Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who seized power in the coup, in January as part of a regional tour.


Here is how China has responded so far:

February 1
Chinese state news agency Xinhua calls the military takeover and detention of Suu Kyi “a major cabinet reshuffle”.

The Chinese foreign ministry calls for all parties in Myanmar to “resolve their differences”.

February 2

The United Nations Security Council meets to discuss a proposal to issue a joint statement condemning the military’s actions in Myanmar. China and Russia veto the decision, saying the international community should not take any action that would raise tensions in Myanmar.

Not so easy as planned on paper. Take the Suez and Panama Canal. Both costing loads of money and involves countries around that area. Also southerner Thailand is not well-off as the funds are not coming from the capital. More over the southern states are fighting to be independent or become another state in marehsia. There will be delays upon delays to get this project completed which will be digging a river deep enough for tankers to cross, where are they going to dump all that soil, rocks and plants including villagers? Another 100 years maybe...

Forget to add Marehsia may lose billions due to Penang and Port Klang affected but worse hit will be Singapork. Also the costal pirates will have less income and will also pay the terrorists to sabo the project.

Means use intermodal.

Dock, unload, transport via prime mover, loading, sail.

habis. penis-ular kena potong.

ECRL comes to mind. lol

when was the last time you guessed anything correctly?


LMAO

Thai ECRL

and 中国人民解放军 will easily scouting around Indian Ocean after this

We got LPT also
