PORT operator PSA Singapore is expected to launch a tender this year for the supply of the first fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or driverless vehicles to operate at Singapore's next generation Tuas mega port.
The AGVs have been deployed in a trial for over a year at the Pasir Panjang terminals and hence, there is an expectation in the industry that the tender will be rolled out soon. When contacted by The Business Times, PSA declined comment.
The first tender, according to industry watchers, will call for bids for hundreds of AGVs to operate at the Tuas mega port that is set to become the single, largest automated port which is slated to open progressively from 2021.
