GEODIS, a global transport and logistics services provider, has opened its new Container Freight Station (CFS) in Singapore, which is located within the Keppel DistriPark free trade zone.
The station is expected to serve as an international hub and a key node within the highly secure GEODIS Road Network, which connects major air hubs and seaports in Southeast Asia and China. The new CFS offers a wide range of multimodal options in sea, air, and road transportation.
“With Singapore’s strategic position and excellent connectivity as a transit hub, this facility plays a pivotal role in connecting customers to the rest of the world,” said GEODIS. The CFS is managed by GEODIS’ own network experts, enabling better control, visibility and security of customers’ cargo.
In place of its predecessor, which was a co-loading facility, it provides enhanced capabilities in consolidation services, bonded storage solutions and transshipment services. GEODIS customers have access to both full-container-load (FCL) and less-than-container-load (LCL) options.
“With constant shifts of the global supply chain and competitive pressures, we recognize our customers’ need for flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our new CFS offers them more control over their shipments and streamlined workflows. The options for consolidation or tapping into our multi-modal network make a lot of sense, not just financially, but also environmentally,” commented Lakshmanan Venkateswaran, GEODIS Sub-Regional Managing Director – Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea.
