Freight Systems

What Freight Systems does

FS Freight Systems Pte Ltd, established in 1981 and headquartered in Singapore, is a privately held international freight forwarder and logistics provider operating three core service lines: Ocean & Air Freight (full container load, less-than-container load, project cargo, dangerous goods handling, and marine cargo insurance), a specialized 24/7 Ship Spares Division serving ship owners, ship management companies, and shipping agencies with rapid clearance and urgent deliveries, and Project Shipment services for heavy-lift and oversized equipment including route surveys and on-site positioning. The company is asset-based, operating its own fleet of 10ft–26ft trucks, prime movers, trailers, and self-managed warehouses at three Singapore locations (Henderson Industrial Park, Airport Cargo Road, and Tuas Crescent), with a confirmed overseas branch in Shanghai opened in 2003. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on enterprise freight forwarding contracts (quote-based, multi-year) complemented by unit-priced, pay-as-you-go transactions via a self-serve e-commerce storefront for After Hours Delivery (from SGD120), Parcel Delivery (SGD52.32 per location), and Permit Declaration (SGD43.60 per set).

The company serves a primary maritime customer base alongside import/export businesses and local Singapore SMBs. Its 38+ country footprint is delivered principally through membership in the LFS Global Logistics Group rather than owned offices, supplemented by industry association membership in the Singapore Logistics Association. The business has historically grown via targeted acquisitions — a ship spare division in 2011, Ocean Shipping Transport Pte Ltd in 2014, and Leon Enterprise in 2017 — under Managing Director Kelvin Cheong, who has led the company since 2000. Capital structure is modest, with fully paid-up capital of S$1,000,000 and forwarder's liability insurance of S$500,000; no funding rounds, revenue, or headcount data is publicly disclosed.
