YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Capacity Pressure Across Ports, Warehouses and Last-Mile Networks
- Singapore handled 41.1 million TEUs in 2024, while growing transshipment, e-commerce and urban delivery demand continue to strain logistics capacity.
- Against this backdrop, YCP maps demand flows, optimises network design and identifies capacity investments that improve throughput without raising costs unnecessarily.
Building a Productive Workforce Alongside Automation
- Labour availability remains constrained in Singapore’s ageing market, while logistics operators need new digital, engineering and operational skills to scale automation.
- To close this gap, YCP develops workforce and automation roadmaps that align process redesign, technology investments and practical capability-building.
Managing Higher Costs While Advancing Decarbonisation
- The carbon tax increased from S$5 to S$25 per tonne of emissions in 2024, adding urgency to lower-emission transport, facilities and supply chains.
- This creates a clear case for YCP to pinpoint cost and emissions hotspots, prioritise viable initiatives and build implementation plans with measurable returns.
Strengthening Supply Chains Against External Disruption
- Singapore connects to over 600 ports in more than 120 countries, making its trade-dependent logistics ecosystem highly exposed to route and demand volatility.
- With this exposure in mind, YCP helps businesses build scenario-based sourcing, inventory and transport strategies that protect service levels and resilience.
With Singapore handling almost
37.5 million TEUs
annually*, cutting-edge logistics expertise is essential for thriving in this competitive hub.

The Future of Eldercare in Singapore
Singapore’s rapidly aging population is driving a shift from residential to community-based eldercare. Telemedicine, assistive technology, and assisted communal living are emerging as key enablers, supported by policy initiatives. Coordinated public–private efforts will be critical to delivering scalable, independent aging solutions.

Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
Accelerating Sustainable Recovery in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s post-pandemic recovery is increasingly shaped by climate and social risks that demand regional cooperation. Aligning growth with ESG priorities through coordinated policy, sustainable finance, and stronger data frameworks is critical to addressing vulnerabilities and supporting long-term development across the region.
