🚢 Sahathai Terminal Partners with Logizall to Launch New Barge Service for Importers and Exporters
Sahathai Terminal’s Strategic Advantage
Located on the Chao Phraya River in Bang Ya Phraek, Phra Pradaeng, Samut Prakan, Sahathai Terminal is a private river port offering a full range of logistics services. These include container yard facilities, general and bonded warehouses, and comprehensive barge operations connecting directly to Laem Chabang Port.
The terminal has launched a pilot barge project to reduce congestion and create new opportunities for importers, exporters, and freight forwarders. Instead of sending containers exclusively through Laem Chabang, shippers can now redirect them to Sahathai Terminal and connect seamlessly to major international ports.
Direct Connections to Asia’s Leading Ports
With this initiative, containers from Sahathai Terminal can directly link to major seaports in:
- China
- Malaysia
- Indonesia
- Vietnam
- Singapore
This multimodal connection strengthens Thailand’s role as a strategic logistics hub in Southeast Asia, supporting smoother and faster cargo flow across regional supply chains.
Lower Costs, Faster Turnaround
One of the biggest benefits for importers and exporters is cost efficiency. By rerouting containers through Sahathai Terminal:
- Freight costs are reduced
- Waiting times at Laem Chabang are minimized
- Containers move faster without long queues
This alternative shipping solution enables businesses to save money while improving delivery reliability.
Collaboration with Freight Forwarders
The networking session highlighted the importance of freight forwarder collaboration. By combining container volumes, freight forwarders gain stronger bargaining power with shipping lines, resulting in competitive freight rates and improved service reliability.
This collective strategy not only benefits individual companies but also enhances Thailand’s logistics ecosystem, making it more agile and competitive on the global stage.
A Sustainable Alternative for the Future
The pilot project also addresses long-term sustainability goals. By reducing congestion and streamlining barge transport, Sahathai Terminal contributes to:
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reduced COâ‚‚ emissions from idling trucks
- More efficient use of maritime transport infrastructure
This aligns with global logistics trends toward greener, more sustainable supply chains.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Sahathai Terminal and Logizall introduces a new logistics solution that empowers importers, exporters, and freight forwarders. With reduced costs, faster connections, and direct links to Asia’s top ports, this initiative paves the way for a more efficient and sustainable shipping future for Thailand.
