Video: New Quay Crane Collapses At Tuas Port During Delivery
A brand-new quay crane collapsed while it was being delivered to Tuas Port in Singapore on Sunday, 15 June 2025. The incident occurred around 1:20 p.m. at a non-operational berth within the port area.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and port operator PSA Singapore said in a joint statement that the crane tipped over during the delivery process. The berth where the incident occurred was not in operation at the time.
No injuries or fatalities were reported from the incident. The two authorities confirmed that an assessment of the surrounding area found no damage to nearby port equipment or infrastructure.
PSA confirmed that all currently operational berths remain fully accessible, with port operations and ongoing development at Tuas Port continuing without any disruption.
The incident is currently under investigation. Both MPA and PSA said they are working with relevant authorities to look into the cause of the collapse and respond to the situation accordingly.

Crane collapses at container terminals are considered extremely rare. Such incidents usually happen when cranes are accidentally hit by merchant ships during berthing operations. However, in this case, the crane fell during delivery, making it an unusual type of accident.
Tuas Port is a major project in Singapore’s maritime infrastructure. Its first three berths officially opened in September 2022. The facility is Singapore’s largest fully automated container terminal and is being built in phases to support growing trade volumes and larger vessels.
Authorities plan to eventually move all of Singapore’s container handling operations to Tuas Port over the next two decades. Once fully completed in the 2040s, the port is expected to become the world’s largest automated container terminal, with an annual handling capacity of 65 million TEUs.
As of now, no information has been shared on the extent of damage to the collapsed crane itself. The situation is being monitored and further updates are expected once investigations progress.
