There is a question on my mind which I have problem understanding.
Singapore is the 2nd or 3rd busy port in the world, so the goods are definitely not for Singapore alone.
What would a ship call Singapore a port, and then let the goods load to another ship to go to asean countries, why not go straight to the nearest port of destination? Like go straight to Thailand, Malaysia or what you have?
Is Shenzhen really competing with Shanghai? Will goods mean for delivery at guangzhou area be send to Shanghai? Doesn't make sense isn't it? So they are competing for goods for other areas, but don't other areas have their own ports too??
How did Singapore manage its port status with such a small domestic market??
