NorthPort advances Pier 14 infra upgrades

Mar 16, 2026

NorthPort continues to make progress on the structural strengthening of Pier 14 as part of its three-year terminal upgrade program.

NorthPort has completed structural works on the second and third 42.5-meter segments of the pier ahead of schedule, reinforcing the Terminal 1 wharf and advancing efforts to enhance the terminal’s structural integrity and seismic resilience. As of February, wharf strengthening works have moved to the fourth and final 52.5-meter segment of Pier 14.

Current activities include resurfacing the remaining deck area, repairing above-deck damage to prevent structural deterioration, and upgrading the existing fender system from 700 mm to 1,000 mm cell fenders to support safer vessel berthing. These activities are being carried out in parallel to minimize disruptions to ongoing operations.

NorthPort will undertake additional structural works and complete the remaining phases of the terminal upgrade program in 2027. The program is designed to ensure NorthPort remains capable of supporting long-term domestic trade growth while maintaining safe and reliable operations.
