PSA port tour

A rare chance to visit daddy's work place. 2 yrs ago we did attend something similar organized by the engineering dept n tdy it's at corporate level. Personally felt tdy we understood more tho for the kids, they don't quite recall what they learnt 2 yrs ago. 

Tdy we went to the Pasir panjang terminal where daddy started his 1st stint on the job. A lot more understanding of the diff cranes n how the containers are organized where they are being organized n saw live demo of them getting the prime mover to stack n unlock the locks. We even saw a reever container (i.e. a container to keep food that needs to b stored b4 setting off to the destination) n they ended the tour w a ice cream treat from that container n was chilling under the hot sun. V interesting to see empty containers as they tell that empty containers usually set to east i.e. China for goods n if it comes to west then it's usually full as they got the goods from China. As spore is a transshipment hub so a lot of goods pass by here n we saw the new car bay either for local market else it's for export. It's an interesting trip to see the day to day things happening at the port n so glad we made it as was told it is fully subscribed. Now more appreciative of the port biz n there was a video of a lady who decided to work in psa straight aft grad as deeply influenced by her dad n they were calling for early recruitment as a lot of staff brought their kids along
