GEODIS, a global leading transport and logistics services provider, has announced the opening of its new Container Freight Station (CFS) in Singapore. Strategically located within the Keppel DistriPark free trade zone, the CFS serves as an international hub and a key node within the highly secure GEODIS Road Network, which connects major air hubs and sea ports in Southeast Asia and China. Customers have available to them a wide range of multimodal options in sea, air and/or 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. 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,” said Lakshmanan Venkateswaran, Sub-Regional Managing Director – Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea.
GEODIS is a leading global logistics provider acknowledged for its expertise across all aspects of the supply chain. As a growth partner to its clients, GEODIS specializes in four lines of business: Global Freight Forwarding, Global Contract Logistics, Distribution & Express Transport, and European Road Network. With a global network spanning nearly 170 countries and 53 000 employees, GEODIS is ranked no. 5 in its sector across the world. In 2023, GEODIS generated €11.6 billion in revenue. GEODIS is a company owned by SNCF group.
