One of the top forwarders / logistics service providers in Singapore, Topocean Group-Singapore recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Swift Global Logistics to become an authorized Sales Agent of SAM (Sea Air Model) – Swift’s multimodal combined transport service. The MoA was signed by both parties, led by Behram Baluch for Swift, Far East Regional Director; and Thomas Sim for Topocean Group-Singapore, CEO.

Sim, a well-known personality and one of the industry movers in Singapore, believes that SAM is the wave of the future. “With inflation rates hitting all-time high, businesses are required to look for an efficient multimodal combined transport that offers a cost-effective way to move cargo – and SAM answers this concern. We look forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration with Swift Global Logistics,” related Sim.

Swift Global Logistics is a subsidiary of Swift Freight International, a Dubai-based freight logistics solutions provider that initiated SAM. SAM moves goods from the Far East into various destinations into Africa via transshipment in Dubai. What makes SAM unique is its multimodal combined transport capability with fixed departure and 6-month advance schedules, enabling industry players to plan their business cycles better.

“Now that Topocean Group-Singapore is part of the roster that is authorized to sell SAM, we are confident that a wider coverage of significant clientele is ensured. We are hoping that this would be the catalyst to encourage more to become an authorized SAM Sales Agent,” said Baluch.
