Commencing 27 April, Singapore based container line APL will launch the Asia Fremantle Express service, linking transhipment hub Singapore to Fremantle in Australia. The weekly sailings will provide shippers with better access to international markets, creating more efficient and flexible supply chain solutions.

“APL’s new AFX service will enhance our existing Oceania service network of five services that serve Australia. With its 7-day direct transit between Singapore and Fremantle, the AFX service is the solution for time-sensitive cargo, particularly reefer shipments from Fremantle,” Chan Khai Tou, APL Head of Intra-Asia Short Sea and Oceania Services, said.

“Complementing APL’s Asia Australia Express (AAX), the AFX service adds another weekly shipment cut-off time in Singapore and Fremantle,” Chan Khai Tou added.
