Coolport @ Changi

On 18 August 2009, SATS announced its plans to launch Coolport @ Changi, Singapore’s first on-airport perishables handling centre, in mid 2010. Costing approximately S$12 million to build, Coolport @ Changi will be the first dedicated on-airport facility in Singapore for handling terminal and transit perishables cargo within the Free Trade Zone. Located within SATS Airfreight Terminal 2, Coolport @ Changi will have an annual operating capacity of around 250,000 tonnes, with scope for expansion from the current 8,000 square metres to 14,000 square metres. Coolport @ Changi will be the first facility in Singapore comprising three multi-tiered zones with different temperatures ranging from -28C to 18C. It will be able to handle a range of perishables cargo such as live seafood and ornamental fish, fresh produce, meats, flowers and pharmaceutical products including vaccines.

A host of value-added services including Warehousing and Distribution, Live Tanking, Inventory Management & Control, and Ripening facilities provides a complete cold chain logistics solution. Coolport @ Changi will be designed in accordance with internationally recognised Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) guidelines for food safety and in compliance with the highest international standards of cold chain integrity. It also aims to be the first Halal-certified air cargo hub for perishables in Asia Pacific.
