Smooth Journey To Global Connectivity.

Transportation And / Or Logistics

Singapore is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Like other urban cities, Singapore faces the challenges of meeting the growing travel demands to support the economy and the needs of its citizens against the constraints of physical space. In 2008, the public transport mode share was 59 per cent during morning peak hours (based on HITS 2008). By 2030, Singapore aims for at least 85 per cent of public transport commuters to complete their journey within 60 minutes during the morning peak hours, from the time they set out on their journey to their destination (i.e. “door-to-door” journey time), up from 63 per cent.

With an expansive base of leading global logistics players, world-class infrastructure and excellent global connectivity, Singapore is the preferred logistics and supply chain management hub for leading manufacturers across industries. Strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia and at the nexus of major shipping lanes has also made Singapore an important logistics hub and conduit for world trade. Today, Singapore is a prime location for major logistics firms, with 20 of the top 25 global logistics players conducting operations here.
