SATS and KLN to advance temperature-controlled and time-critical logistics
The partnership targets stronger handling of sensitive and time-critical cargo across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
KLN Freight International Limited has signed a memorandum of understanding with SATS Ltd. to advance temperature-controlled and time-critical logistics through strategic collaborations.
As an initial step, SATS and KLN Freight will focus on two strategic initiatives under a value-added service programme: end-to-end temperature-controlled handling solutions to support the transport and storage of sensitive cargo, and the expedited handling of time-critical shipments that require speed, precision, and reliability.
“For time-critical and sensitive cargo such as healthcare shipments, every touchpoint in the supply chain is critical to safeguarding patient safety and service continuity,” Wong Siew Loong, executive director and chief operating officer of KLN, said in a statement.
The partnership is expected to scale solutions across the two parties’ combined networks in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, creating efficiency throughout the end-to-end supply chain.
“Singapore will be the first station for these initiatives, serving as a launchpad for solutions that can be scaled across our respective global networks,” Martin Holme, chief commercial officer of SATS, said.
