UK to Singapore freight

Freight to Singapore, Asia’s trading hub

Singapore is one of the world’s busiest ports and a major distribution hub for South-East Asia. With almost no import duty and a UK–Singapore trade agreement, it’s one of the simplest long-haul markets for UK exporters. Qube Cargo ships to Singapore by sea and air, with FCL and LCL container services and air freight into Changi.

From Singapore, we can arrange onward distribution to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the wider region.

    Did you know...

    • Singapore has one of the busiest ports in the world in terms of total shipping tonnage. The Port of Singapore handles vast amounts of cargo, including container traffic, oil, and bulk goods, and serves as a major hub for global trade.
    • Singapore is strategically located along the Strait of Malacca, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, connecting the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. This location makes it a crucial transshipment hub for goods traveling between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
    • The majority of cargo handled at the Port of Singapore is transshipment cargo, which means goods are transferred from one ship to another on their way to a final destination. This makes Singapore a critical link in the global supply chain.
    • Singapore’s container terminals are among the largest in the world, handling millions of TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) of containerised cargo annually. The port is equipped to handle the world’s largest container ships efficiently.
