After 21 years of flying the Coli flag the company re-branded 31st December 2011 and is now known as Orient Project Shipping (S) Pte Ltd. This is a reflection of an earlier adjustment to shareholding which was effected mid-year and which now sees the company fully owned in Singapore by the existing management. However, this is the extent of the change, and the company continues to offer a boutique project and heavy lift ship broking platform which includes the agency of specialist Carrier Biglift (www.biglift.com) in Asean - viz: Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar – although Project Orient’s reach and remit is global.

deserve best in class service today and tomorrow,” CEO for Australia and New Zealand Ron Koehler said in a recent release. “Delivering high quality service relates directly to the enthusiasm and motivation of our people who constantly exceed personal and business targets.”

Flexible working arrangements such as working from home, job-sharing, part-time work options and ‘me’ days create the flexibility to retain our talent, he said.

“Our Learning and Development Programme encourages our people to strive for success on a personal and professional level every day,” Koehler explained. “We have taken the right steps with our tailor-made training programmes. Complementing

our own programmes, we use a variety of government funded trainings and courses. Some of these courses were integrated into our daily business activities to combine theory and practical work and therefore make them more relevant to our staff which had a great affect on the learning outcomes.”

Koehler is convinced that retaining and up-skilling the workforce is the right strategy for DB Schenker and the best motivator for people to live their dream of a fulfilling career. He’s the living proof for this having started his career with the company more than 30 years ago as a trainee in freight forwarding.
