The rise in intra-Asia trade and the region’s fragmented geographical and regulatory landscape call for leading manufacturers to deploy cutting-edge Supply Chain Management as a differentiating competency for their global businesses2. With that in mind, Singapore’s world-class seaports and air freight facilities, superior warehousing and delivery channels, as well as unparalleled regional and global connectivity make us an optimal base for such companies.
Singapore’s strategic location at the nexus of the world’s major shipping lanes has long made it an important global logistics hub and conduit for world trade. This flourishing logistics hub ranked first amongst 155 countries in The World Bank’s 2012 Logistics Performance Index. Today, we are the world’s busiest transshipment point and the second overall busiest port in the world handling about one-seventh of the world's container transshipment throughput or 32.6 million TEUs of containers in 20133. Leveraging its position as a top logistics hub, Singapore has also hosted numerous logistics exhibitions and transportation conferences, events that continue to attract business delegates from all over the world.
