This is more likely to be a problem with the web page than with Safari; more specifically that the web page uses non-standards-compliant code which Safari cannot interpret. However it is interesting that Chrome can display it because I understand that Chrome uses Apple's rendering engine. Of course they could in your case be using different versions. I assume that you have checked the Safari Activity window to see if there are any files which it failed to find at all. If you get a blank page then the next thing to do is to look at the source code for the page (View/View source). If there is nothing there, or only a limited number of lines of code, then the page has not downloaded for some reason or has been truncated. If there is masses of code, normally ending in </html>, then the entire file (at least the main one) has downloaded completely. If this is the case but nothing is displayed, there almost certainly will be an error (or many) reported in the error console (Develop/Show Error Console). If you do not have "Develop" in your Safari menu you can turn it on, as I recollect, in the preferences. The nature of the error message hopefully will give you an idea about what the problem is. Interestingly, my version of Firefox displays the page but finds quite a few things which it does not understand in the code, mostly in the style sheets so they are not fatal. Safari reports no warnings or errors except a missing favicon.ico, which is not relevant to displaying the page.
