A.P. Moller \u2013 Maersk (Maersk) has officially unveiled its World Gateway II: a state-of-the-art, fully automated global and regional distribution centre in Singapore. Stretching over 1.1 million square feet, the facility marks a significant expansion in Maersk\u2019s contract logistics and e-commerce capabilities in the Asia<\/a> Pacific region.<\/p>\n

Singapore: A Prime Location<\/p>\n

The Singapore Government backed the establishment of World Gateway II, which is poised to cater to the rapidly growing needs of companies that utilize Singapore as a regional or global distribution hub. Singapore\u2019s strategic location and reputation as a top logistics centre make it an ideal choice for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce fulfilment across Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n

The new centre will handle a diverse range of products from various sectors, including lifestyle, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), retail<\/a>, wellness, and technology. Its proximity to major transport infrastructure, such as the Tuas Port and Changi Airport, facilitates efficient overseas cargo distribution. Additionally, it lies a short distance from Maersk\u2019s existing 1.0 million square feet World Gateway regional distribution centre.<\/p>\n

Efficiency and Scale through Advanced Automation<\/p>\n

The facility boasts leading-edge automation technologies such as a Multi-Shuttle System, Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), Autonomous Case-handling Robots (ACR), and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). These systems increase efficiency by reducing manual handling, thereby enhancing order fulfilment speed, shortening lead times, and improving accuracy.<\/p>\n

Investment and Job Creation<\/p>\n

Maersk has invested over S$200 million in the development of World Gateway II, which currently stands at approximately 70% occupancy. When fully operational, the facility is expected to create around 500 jobs that leverage advanced digital and automation capabilities.<\/p>\n

World Gateway II: Key Features<\/p>\n

The facility is designed with an 11-metre clear height per floor to support dense storage and advanced automation. It also features ample loading bays and rooftop container parking to cater to peak season demand.<\/p>\n

Its strategic location is only 16.8 kilometres from Tuas Mega Port and 42.6 kilometres from Changi Airport. Furthermore, the facility offers customs bonded, zero-GST warehouse storage, real-time shipment tracking, and full visibility of goods flow through an end-to-end transport management system.<\/p>\n

Additional offerings include various value-added services such as labelling, coding, bundling, kitting, and repacking. Moreover, the facility has an integrated Warehouse Management System (WMS) that enhances accuracy, visibility, and agility by integrating with customer systems.<\/p>\n

Finally, World Gateway II adheres to top-tier security standards and is LEED Platinum & Green Mark Platinum certified. The facility optimizes energy and water use with features such as solar panels, smart LED lighting, and energy-efficient insulation.<\/p>\n
