CEVA Logistics has been awarded IATA's CEIV Pharma status at its facility in Singapore.

The logistics operators's staff in Singapore have undertaken a comprehensive training programme conducted jointly by IATA and Changi Airport Group, in readiness for certification in the safe handling of pharmaceutical products.

A quality team was established at the company's facility at the Air Logistics Park of Singapore (ALPS) within the Free Trade Zone and this group co-ordinated and implemented the CEIV process.

"Our 90,000 sq feet facility is fully accredited for the full range of active and passive temperature ranges," said Michael Yip, SVP Freight Management of CEVA's South East Asia cluster.

"We are the largest user and operator of active RKN e1 equipment outbound from Singapore and this new CEIV status recognises the full scope of our capabilities".
