Singapore Airport Terminal Services Limited (SATS) has announced plans to launch Coolport@Changi - Singapore’s first on-airport perishables handling centre.
Attracting investment of around $8.3 million (£5.01m), it is scheduled to enter service in the first quarter of 2010.
The facility will have multi-tiered zones, with different temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C, to handle a wide range of commodities such as fresh produce, flowers, live seafood, ornamental fish and meats.
Located within SATS Airfreight Terminal 2, Coolport@Changi will have an annual operating capacity of approximately 250,000 tonnes, with scope for expansion from the current 8,000sqm handling area to 14,000sqm.
It will offer a host of value-added propositions including warehousing and distribution, live tanking, inventory management and control, and ripening facilities.
Specialist perishables cargo freight forwarder Hellman Perishable Logistics has been selected as a partner and consultant for Coolport@Changi.
