Upon arrival in Singapore, the cargo was barged from the commercial port to Tuas under the DAP (Delivered at Place) terms. The final leg of the journey was executed with a modular trailer, ensuring direct delivery to the refinery site.
Spanning from November 2024 to March 2025, the project required meticulous planning and seamless coordination between the teams at SAVING Shipping & Forwarding and FLS (Singapore).
