THE freight management subsidiary of SNCF Geodis, Geodis Wilson, says it is expanding its trucking operations to include China, an extension of its existing routes through Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Indochina region.
The full cross-border route between Singapore and China covers a total distance of 5,950 km and has a lead-time of 6-7 days. Customers can choose between full container load (FCL) services, or less than container load (LCL) services. FCL containers are sealed from door-to-door and opened only if required by border customs, while LCL containers are consolidated at the company's facilities along the route, and fed into the main road network by regional trucks.
"One distinctive element of our cross border trucking product is the range of security measures. They enable us to monitor and protect cargoes and help to ensure that our clients' goods can be delivered on time. This includes solid contingency mechanisms, for instance in case of severe weather, complex customs clearing or for accident prevention," said Chris Lee, regional director cross border trucking, in a report by Transport Intelligence.
Geodis Wilson began cross-border trucking services in Southeast Asia in 1995 with services between Malaysia and Thailand and this was extended to Singapore in 1996. The company has been operating daily scheduled LCL services since 1999, providing full customs clearance support to shipments.
