U-Freight has a major regional logistics hub in Singapore, offering a wide portfolio of international freight and logistics services, and was pleased to see a delegation from the Lion City promoting the island state as a stable logistics hub at the recent Logistics and Transport event in Munich.
The delegation explained how Singapore wants to become even more attractive as a hub for supply chains between Europe and Asia in the future. To achieve this, the Singapore is increasingly focusing on partnership-based cooperation in the region, expanding its logistics infrastructure and training specialists in sustainable logistics and AI applications.
At the trade fair, the state development agency Enterprise Singapore said that supply chains are about networks citing as the most recent evidence the agreement on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, which the heads of government of Malaysia and Singapore agreed at the beginning of January.
A representative of the Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) explained that it has a large network in Southeast Asia and beyond and trains employees of its 700, mostly medium-sized member companies (which includes U-Freight Singapore) on many issues including sustainability and AI.
Changi Airport described how it is expanding its cold chains together with the pharmaceutical industry and improving ground handling. Among other things, the airport’s cargo facilities will be extended to the Changi East Industrial Zone by the mid-2030s. This will increase handling capacity from the current 3 to 5.4 million tonnes per year. At the same time, measures are aimed at better connecting the air cargo community. Since August 2024, for example, ‘Truck Dock Slot Booking’ has enabled truck transporters to book time slots for loading and unloading in advance.
The Singapore container port, which handled 40 million teu for the first time in 2024, is to be expanded by port operator PSA to handle 65 million teu per annum by the 2040s.
