Singapore is the world's busiest transshipment hub. More than 80% of the containers that pass through its port are transshipped onward to over 600 ports worldwide, and PSA's Singapore terminals handled a record 44.5 million TEUs in 2025. Changi Airport moved 2.08 million tonnes of air cargo the same year, and the city-state topped the World Bank's most recent Logistics Performance Index. The best logistics companies in Singapore span that whole spectrum: the port group itself, global forwarders running regional hubs, and homegrown 3PLs and delivery networks. This 2026 guide profiles ten providers with the strongest footprint in the country, listed in no particular order, drawn from public reporting, company disclosures and industry coverage.
How we chose this list
This is an editorial guide, compiled from public sources such as annual reports, exchange filings, press releases and trade media, rather than from paid placements or our own directory data. We weighed four things:
- Scale in Singapore: revenue, warehouse footprint, hub investment and staff based in the country.
- Breadth of services: freight forwarding, contract logistics, air cargo handling, express and e-commerce delivery.
- Track record: years operating in Singapore and publicly verifiable milestones.
- Network: regional and global reach from a Singapore base.
Figures are the most recent publicly reported at the time of writing. The companies appear in no particular order. A provider further down the page may well be the better fit for your specific lane or cargo type.

PSA International
PSA is the backbone of Singapore's ocean freight.

PSA is also building Tuas Port, which opened its first berths in 2022 and is planned to become the world's largest fully automated container terminal, with 65 million TEU annual capacity when complete. Every containerised shipment through Singapore touches PSA's infrastructure in some way.
Best for: understanding the terminal backbone behind every ocean shipment through Singapore.
DHL Group
Singapore is one of only four DHL Express hubs in Asia Pacific, alongside Hong Kong, Shanghai and Bangkok. The company's South Asia Hub at the Changi Airfreight Centre, a S$140 million investment, runs around the clock and can process up to 24,000 shipments and documents per hour. On the contract logistics side, DHL Supply Chain has committed EUR 350 million to Southeast Asia including Singapore to expand warehousing and supply chain resilience.
Best for: time-critical international express and door-to-door shipping from Singapore.
Kuehne+Nagel
Kuehne+Nagel runs its Asia Pacific regional headquarters from Singapore and operates the Singapore Logistics Hub, a 50,000 sq m facility in the west of the island with 46,000 sq m of warehousing, over 40% of it fitted with chilled storage and pharma-grade capabilities. The hub serves as a regional centre of excellence for high-tech, industrial and healthcare customers, backed by a global network with net turnover above CHF 24 billion.
Best for: sea and air forwarding with strong pharma and high-tech vertical expertise.
DSV
DSV completed its acquisition of Schenker on 30 April 2025, creating the world's largest freight forwarding group and absorbing DB Schenker's 50-year Singapore presence. That includes the Red Lion facility at Changi's Airport Logistics Park: a EUR 101 million, 51,400 sq m, five-floor mechanised air freight hub and contract logistics warehouse that was the largest single site investment in Schenker's history when built.
Best for: air freight and contract logistics at Changi with the scale of the combined DSV network.
Maersk
Maersk has made Singapore one of its main Asia Pacific distribution bases. In March 2026 it opened World Gateway II, a 1.1 million sq ft fully automated global and regional distribution centre with multi-shuttle and ASRS automation and rooftop container parking, sitting close to both Tuas Port and Changi Airport. It complements the existing 1.0 million sq ft World Gateway facility nearby, tying automated warehousing directly into Maersk's ocean network.
Best for: combining ocean freight with automated regional distribution and fulfilment out of Singapore.
SATS
Founded in 1972 as Singapore Airport Terminal Services, SATS became the world's largest air cargo handler after acquiring Worldwide Flight Services, with over 215 stations in 27 countries and 9 million tonnes of cargo handled in FY2025. The SGX-listed group posted record revenue of S$5.8 billion in FY2025, up 13% year on year. At Changi it is the key handler for air cargo terminals, cold chain and perishables.
Best for: air cargo terminal handling and cold chain at Changi.
Singapore Post
SingPost is the national postal operator and a significant e-commerce logistics player, with FY2025 revenue of S$813.7 million and a net profit boosted by the divestment of its Australia business at an enterprise value of about A$1.02 billion. Following that sale the group has refocused on its Singapore operations, which now contribute the majority of operating profit, spanning domestic parcels, post and cross-border e-commerce mail.
Best for: domestic parcel delivery and cross-border e-commerce mail out of Singapore.
YCH Group
Founded in 1955, YCH is Singapore's largest homegrown supply chain company, operating in more than 100 cities across Asia Pacific. Its flagship Supply Chain City in the Jurong Innovation District represents a building investment of over S$200 million and around 2 million sq ft of capacity, and in May 2025 the group broke ground on a RM500 million Supply Chain City in Malaysia to extend its ASEAN network.
Best for: regional ASEAN distribution with a Singapore-headquartered partner.
CWT
CWT operates the Mega Integrated Logistics Hub, at around 2.4 million sq ft the largest integrated logistics facility in Singapore, and is the leading developer-operator of the multi-storey ramp-up warehouses the city is known for. It has managed more than 10 million sq ft of warehouse space in Singapore over the years, and its commodity logistics arm specialises in metals, minerals and soft commodities, a niche tied to Singapore's role as a commodity trading hub.
Best for: commodity storage, container logistics and large-scale ramp-up warehousing.
Ninja Van
Founded in Singapore in 2014, Ninja Van has grown into one of Southeast Asia's largest e-commerce delivery networks, operating across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines and delivering about 2 million parcels a day. The company raised a US$578 million Series E in 2021 from investors including Alibaba and B Capital, making it one of the region's best-funded logistics startups.
Best for: e-commerce last-mile delivery in Singapore and cross-border Southeast Asian parcels.
How to choose between them
The right provider depends less on overall size than on fit with your cargo and lane:
- International air or sea freight: the global forwarders (DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, DSV) and carrier-led Maersk quote door-to-door including customs.
- Regional distribution and warehousing: YCH, CWT, Maersk and the global 3PL arms compete hardest here.
- Parcels and e-commerce: SingPost and Ninja Van own the last mile.
- Air cargo handling and cold chain: SATS is the specialist at Changi.
Whoever you shortlist, get more than one quote, because rates for the same lane can vary widely, and confirm licences, insurance coverage and references for your specific cargo type. Our guide to the best websites to find a freight forwarder covers how to run that comparison.
