SOME companies in the freight industry stay asset-light and outsource their freight forwarding services. CK Shipping chose to do things differently when it was founded in 2001, investing heavily in assets such as vehicles and warehouses, so it could provide integrated logistics services.
This decision paid off. Two decades later, CK Shipping has 122 staff in 15 offices worldwide, with 1 million square feet (sq ft) of warehousing and storage. Its presence ranges from Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, Hong Kong and China, to Australia, New Zealand, and Samoa.
From 2007, it began expanding into other services. Group chief executive officer Ken Ngan believes CK Shipping was Singapore’s first small and medium-sized enterprise to offer services in aerospace and aviation logistics as well as cotton warehousing. Its other services are air freight; e-commerce; exhibition logistics; project logistics for oil and gas companies; relocation services for companies and expatriates; and sea freight.
