Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics provider, has announced the opening of a new air freight gateway at Singapore’s Changi Airport. This strategic move aims to bolster Rhenus’ presence in Southeast Asia by offering enhanced multimodal connectivity, including air, ocean, and cross-border lorry services. The facility is designed to meet the growing demands of customers with its comprehensive suite of services.
The new gateway, situated in one of the region’s key trade hubs, spans nearly 500 square metres of warehousing space, with plans for expansion based on demand. It offers a full door-to-door service, including in-house customs and a consolidation service for import and export handling. Key features include guaranteed capacity with schedule reliability, a Free Trade Zone warehouse, and additional services such as palletising and relabelling.
Serdar Onur, Head of Air Freight Southeast Asia and Oceania at Rhenus Air & Ocean, stated, “Our new Singapore gateway reinforces our long-term vision to grow our presence in Southeast Asia by offering a smarter, scalable platform that integrates seamlessly into our global air freight network.”
Dominique De Smet, Managing Director of Rhenus Singapore and Malaysia Air & Ocean, highlighted the gateway’s role in complementing Rhenus’ existing network in Malaysia, enhancing logistics solutions to support various industries.
Rhenus has also expanded its investment in Malaysia with a new barge service and a private jetty at Lukut, Negeri Sembilan, to improve cargo shipping reliability between Peninsular and East Malaysia. This expansion underscores Rhenus’ commitment to strengthening its logistics capabilities in the region.
