Our new Singapore logistics hub, ideally
located near Jurong Port, aims to service
the Oil & Gas clusters in Southeast Asia,
and will allow Geodis Singapore to take
part and qualify for larger industrial
projects strategic tenders. It was officially
opened in May 2014, with one employee
on site.
In February 2015, most of the Geodis Oil
& Gas team moved there, and the Hub
now has permanent staff dedicated to the
warehouse as well as specific Oil & Gas
customers.
The Jurong location was specifically
chosen so that Geodis would be
geographically closer to its customers, as
most Oil & Gas companies are based in
Jurong and its surroundings. In addition,
Jurong Port is just minutes away. This
new location allows us to serve our clients
better and offer them more services. We

opened by the company, the first two being located in Houston, USA, and Vitrolles, South of France. Geodis has
since opened two more in Antwerp and Dubai, and another two hubs should open this year.

We have packaging, re-packing and
specialised packing services (heat-
treated, vacuum, etc), as well as a heat
treatment oven, for ISPM15 requirements.
The hub staff can also arrange pick up

goods, consolidation, and stuffing.
The on-site container and stuffing
facility offer container loading/unloading
inspections to monitor quality of opera-
tions, and apply container load principles
to improve efficiency when unloading and
bringing into stock. Last but not least,
customs clearance services can also be
provided, as well as support for issuance
of temporary permits for import/export
cargos. F
