GMAPS' partners and senior staff were among a core group of PSA officers who developed the wharf facilities to facilitate the start of containerisation in Singapore as early as the 1970s, and who later carried on with creating new infrastructure which enabled the port to grow over four decades. Currently, well over 30 million TEUs of containers a year are handled across the PSA wharves. Singapore's port is the world's busiest, where a vessel enters or leaves the port limits every 3 minutes. These officers also ventured regionally and into China, the Middle-East, India and Europe.
