COSCO Shipping to expand Jurong Island logistics hub

The expansion will nearly double the hub's operational capacity.

COSCO Shipping International will expand its Cogent Jurong Island Logistics Hub (JILH) following the success of its first phase completed in 2021.

The company is in discussions with EBD and JTC for the expansion.

The Phase 2 expansion comprises  2.5 hectares of land with approximately 62,500 square meters of corresponding built-up area, capable of nearly doubling the hub’s capacity. 

The Phase 2 expansion will also extend its existing structure, using shared infrastructure like a ground-to-roof ramp to improve design efficiency and nearly double the hub’s operational scale.

The hub will also have a double-volume warehouse, automation, and enhanced container depot.

“A double-volume warehouse will allow higher stacking, and automation technologies like Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) will be integrated to optimize operations, addressing labour challenges, and improving cost-effectiveness. The potential revenue per Gross Floor Area will be significantly boosted,” COSCO said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
