Singapore entered the Guinness Book of World Records on Monday, Oct. 30, 2017.

A lion head display made up of 359 containers at Tanjong Pagar Terminal earned its place in the record books for largest shipping container image.

Measuring 128m by 128m, it took 15 hours to complete.

A certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records was officially presented to PSA at the terminal.

The guest-of-honour was Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Khaw Boon Wan.

The event was also to mark Tanjong Pagar Terminal's 45 years of operations.

The terminal, which was the first such facility in Southeast Asia when it opened, is winding down its operations as its lease will expire in 2027.

At the event, which was organised by PSA Singapore and attended by former and current PSA staff, Khaw said Tanjong Pagar Terminal will "always hold a special place in our hearts as Singapore's very first container terminal", even as it shifts its core port operations to Pasir Panjang Terminal.

Earlier this year, PSA Singapore relocated all of its 500 staff from the terminal to Pasir Panjang.
