Indon Shipping Pte Ltd. has been a key player in cargo handling services since 1972, evolving from lighters and wooden boats to becoming a renowned stevedoring contractor in Singapore. Their primary focus is on road freight transport and lighterage services. The Volvo FM Prime Mover Trucks will securely transfer containers from one port terminal to another, hence the term “inter-gateway”, enhancing their logistics capabilities.

This handover marks a pivotal moment for Volvo Trucks in advancing the IGH sector. Supported by a dedicated dealer team, Volvo Trucks is committed to offering cutting-edge technology and transport solutions.

Through the Volvo Connect portal, clients can access smarter uptime solutions, 24/7 emergency assistance, and comprehensive support. The FM Prime Movers, known for their advanced technology, safety features, and fuel efficiency, are set to boost Indon Shipping’s operations.
 

The event was graced by Anna Engblom, Managing Director of Hub South East Asia & Japan, alongside her management team. Indon Shipping’s General Manager, Brian Sim, and his team of drivers were also present, marking a new chapter for their operations.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Volvoʼs expansion into the IGH sector. The Volvo FM Prime Movers are a testament to our commitment to cuttingedge transportation technology, and we are confident they will deliver exceptional performance and reliability for Indon Shipping.
Integrating the Volvo FM Prime Movers into our operations aligns perfectly with our goals for operational excellence and efficiency. I am confident that these trucks will enhance our haulage capabilities, improve productivity, and ensure maximum uptime.

Understanding high uptime and its impact on business expansion is crucial. To support this, Volvo Trucks also provides the Volvo Service Contracts as part of the deal, offering clients the assurance they need to focus on growing their businesses. These specialized service contracts ensure the performance and profitability of our clients’ businesses and vehicles around the clock.
 

In the logistics industry, real-time data is a primary motivator. Volvo Connect, included in the service contract, offers fleet management services like Positioning, providing a real-time picture of each truck’s position and status. This makes it simple to track trucks and other assets linked to transportation, keeping clients ahead of the competition and empowering them.

Anna Engblom, Managing Director of Volvo Trucks Southeast Asia & Japan, emphasizes the importance of availability, quality, and cost effectiveness in creating value for customers.Real-time tracking enhances visibility, improves efficiency, increases security, and provides data-driven insights, making Volvo Trucks a trusted partner for businesses operating trucks and fleets.

 

The event underscored Volvo’s commitment to supporting growth in the IGH sector and solidified a promising partnership with Indon Shipping, setting the stage for continued success and innovation.
