Singapore, as a globally significant transshipment hub for tin ingots, holds a critical position in the global tin industry landscape. In recent years, due to policy adjustments in major producing countries and changes in global tin resource reserves, the volume of tin ingots transshipped through Singapore has fluctuated at different stages.
