What It Is
Forward Hubbing, also known as Advanced Transhipment Management (ATM), is offered by PSA Singapore. It has been a proven solution for cargo owners especially those from the petro-chemical sector. With wide carrier options, frequent sailings and excellent connectivity from PSA Singapore, cargo owners can forward-hub their inventories in Singapore – even in the absence of buyers - to benefit from both faster lead time to key markets in Asia and a wider outreach to an expanded base of customers in global destinations. Products can be staged in Singapore’s Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in full container load. The solution is currently offered for General Purpose containers. Requests for this solution for reefers, Dangerous Goods and isotanks are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Inventory flow visibility via CALISTA™
With CALISTA™, PSA’s digital supply chain platform, shippers have full dashboard visibility of their inventory including information such as ageing profile, and can gauge inventory levels against safety stock levels. PSA Cargo Solutions can also orchestrate inventory picking according to your needs (e.g. First-in, First-out).
The enhanced supply chain visibility can help to reduce wastages and improve your utilization of plant space.
