CEVA Singapore's Asia Pacific LCL hub boasts 15 weekly consolidations

GLOBAL freight management provider, CEVA Logistics, says it has more than tripled the number of lanes globally since 2011 and has invested the infrastructure from its Singapore base to provide optimised Asia-Pacific LCL (less than-container load) services.

"Maintaining our schedule integrity as a supply chain partner is critical to keeping our customers' inventories and production lines running efficiently," said CEVA Asia Pacific LCL director Avery Tan.

In Asia Pacific, the company said, Singapore is CEVA's regional LCL hub, providing easy access from Asia to the rest of the world. With its strategic location, the Singapore hub now handles 15 weekly consolidations throughout Asia Pacific, with dedicated space within the Container Freight Station (CFS).

The company pointed out that the CFS is staffed with a dedicated expert team that handles all inbound and outbound LCL shipments and scheduling with direct services to all major ports in southeast Asia as well as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Busan and Tokyo.

Customers can track and trace online where their cargo is at any given point in the supply chain. Shipment tracking is supported by the CEVA Matrix One Freight System, using an innovative electronic application platform to enable all CEVA's Oceanfreight services.

In addition to LCL services, Singapore's location is ideal for customers who desire multi-country consolidation options to build their own FCLs (Full Container Loads) through the consolidation hub with flexible and efficient transportation across Asia Pacific.

"Our Singapore hub is a true demonstration of how important optimised handling and cargo scheduling is fundamental to the delivery of our LCL and FCL services. By managing the process ourselves, we are able to offer faster freight availability for local Singapore cargo, in addition to faster turnaround of transshipment cargo to other Asian destinations."
