Singapore has managed to become one of the richest countries in the world in just a few decades.

Transporting your goods by different routes

For the transport to distant countries, we generally recommend sea freight to our customers. Choose individually from our transport options or let us advise you.

Ocean Freight: Ocean freiggth by container ship across the sea is considered to be particularly economical and cost-effective. However, you should bear in mind that sea freight takes longer to import and export. On the other hand, transport by ship is cheaper than other transport options. The port of Singapore is now regarded as the world's most important container transhipment centre.

Air Freight: When it comes to importing or exporting goods to Singapore that need to be transported very quickly and are therefore very urgent, we recommend that our customers transport them by air freight. In the area of air freight, we work primarily with Singapore Changi Airport, which is one of the largest airports in Southeast Asia. When it comes to air freight, it is important to bear in mind that although transport is safe and, above all, fast, it also involves higher costs. For this reason, air freight is primarily used for goods that are perishable or very sensitive.

More than just import and export - Full service

Companies have to take different regulations into account for both the import and export of goods to other countries. This is no longer just about the actual transport of different goods. The import regulations are completely different in the individual countries. This applies not only to the actual customs regulations and everything to do with customs, but also to the documents and authorisationsthat are required to actually carry out an import or export.

As a full-service agency, we are very familiar with the import regulations for other countries. In addition, we work with other companies in the various city states to not only handle the customs regulations on site, but also to ensure any onward transport. At Dörrenhaus, we rely on many years of experience, cooperation with major local airports and harbours and a service you can rely on. If your goods need to be stored in our warehouse in the meantime, please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

If you have any questions about the individual Dörrenhaus services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to help you and advise you on your individual import and export projects with Singapore.

More about the container train

We transport FCL or LCL container loads. FCL containers (Full Container Load) are containers that are fully packed by a shipper and unpacked directly at the recipient's premises.
