Our Container Shipping Services to Singapore

Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

Most inbound cargo – electronics, petro-chem feedstocks, industrial machinery – moves FCL into Pasir Panjang or Tuas to keep per-unit costs down and avoid devanning delays.

Popular highlight: Asia–Europe loops berth Tuas first, giving importers first-day discharge windows.

Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping

SMEs shipping < 15 m³ rely on weekly LCL consolidations that are devanned inside PSA’s bonded CFS, typically saving 40-60 % versus paying for unused FCL space.

Popular mode: FCL for bulk industrial cargo; LCL is booming among Amazon and Shopee sellers.Major ports / airport served: Tuas, Pasir Panjang, Keppel; urgent freight via SIN (Changi).Typical cargo: Semiconductors, consumer electronics, precision machinery, wine & spirits.Transit-time references:

• Los Angeles → Singapore ≈ 28–31 days vessel schedule
• Rotterdam → Singapore ≈ 29–34 days direct south-bound loop

Country-specific challenge: Red-Sea diversions funnel extra ships to Singapore; berth utilization spikes Oct-Dec – book six weeks early.Alternative option: Air freight trims door-to-door to 3-5 days via SIN for high-value electronics and pharma.
