Cogent Holdings

Logistics company Cogent Holdings said its Cogent Container Depot unit signed a licence agreement with JTC yesterday for a three-year use of a 2.5ha plot at Jurong Island.

The firm plans to build a fully-fledged container depot on the plot, and said this will help grow its container depot capabilities and customer base for its Jurong Island chemical logistics facility.

Cogent added that its network of container depot operations in Singapore includes a 5.9ha container depot in Tuas South and a sky depot at the Cogent One Stop Logistics Hub, which are expected to be operational by the second quarter of this year.

The firm hopes to use 50 per cent of the net proceeds to strengthen its strategic alliances or joint ventures, and the other half as working capital.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the firm's securities.
