The Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics service provider, has announced its latest investment in the Southeast Asian market with the opening of a new air freight gateway at Changi Airport in Singapore, one of the region’s most significant trade hubs. The move is designed to strengthen Rhenus’s global network and offer a more comprehensive suite of services.
The new facility provides a full range of cargo-handling services to support multi-modal shipments globally, including strong trans-pacific links from Asia to US and LATAM markets, as well as cross-border connections within Intra-Asia markets. The gateway’s immediate proximity to the seaport also enhances its connectivity.
With close to 500 square meters of current warehousing space and plans for future expansion based on demand, the facility offers a complete door-to-door service. This includes a dedicated fleet, in-house customs expertise, and a consolidation service for import and export handling, all designed to ensure guaranteed capacity and schedule reliability.
Key features of the new gateway include guaranteed capacity with allotments, accessibility for 45-foot container unloading on the ground floor, a Free Trade Zone warehouse storage facility, and additional services such as palletizing, re-labeling, repacking, and sorting.
“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,” said Serdar Onur, Head of Air Freight, Southeast Asia and Oceania, Rhenus Air & Ocean. “Coupled with our Intra-Asia experience, this move will enable us to respond faster to evolving customer needs, while unlocking greater value through service flexibility, enhanced transit options and synergies with other regional hubs.”
Dominique De Smet, Managing Director of Rhenus Singapore and Malaysia, Air & Ocean, added: “The inclusion of the new gateway in Singapore signifies Rhenus’ commitment to our customers in Singapore, as well as Southeast Asia. The Singapore gateway will complement our existing network in Malaysia, to bring the best of our comprehensive logistics solutions to support varied industries’ evolving needs and navigate trade shifts with speed and resilience.”
Rhenus has also extended its investment in Malaysia, where its existing gateway in Kuala Lumpur focuses on serving westbound shipments from Europe to Oceania. The company recently added a new 180-foot barge service and a private jetty at Lukut, Negeri Sembilan, to enhance cargo shipping reliability and speed between Peninsular and East Malaysia. This customs-approved jetty will streamline the loading and unloading of cargo, ensuring faster clearance and smoother operations.
