Recently, it was announced that the company has reached a strategic cooperation upgrade agreement with international shipping giants such as Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and CMA CGM, further consolidating its competitive advantage in the Asia-Europe-America triangular trade route. Relying on the hub status of three core ports in Qingdao, Tianjin, and Shanghai, the company has achieved full coverage of major ports in Europe and North America through slot exchange and route joint operation, and launched the 'Qingdao-Rotterdam-Los Angeles' pendulum-style express shipping service, reducing the one-way time to 28 days, which is over 20% faster than traditional routes. In this cooperation, special attention has been paid to enhancing the transportation capacity of special containers. For the needs of machinery and equipment, oversized cargo, etc., the company has jointly allocated 45-foot high containers, open-top containers, and refrigerated containers with Maersk (MSK) and Hapag-Lloyd (HPL), ensuring temperature control and safe transportation of high-value-added goods throughout the entire process. Data shows that the business volume of special containers increased by 35% year-on-year in the first half of the year alone, and customer satisfaction reached 98%. In terms of digital transformation, the self-developed 'Smart Chain' platform has been integrated with partner systems such as MSC and COSCO, achieving full-chain visibility from booking, container pickup to in-transit tracking. Customers can view the location of containers and port status in real time through mobile devices, significantly reducing communication costs. In addition, the company has collaborated with China Railway Express operators to launch a 'Sea-Rail Combined Transportation' package, which transports containers from Qingdao Port directly to the European hinterland via railway, providing door-to-door solutions for cross-border e-commerce customers. 'Currently, the global supply chain faces multiple challenges, and deepening collaboration with leading shipping companies is the key to breaking the deadlock.' 'In the future, we will continue to increase investment in areas such as intelligent scheduling and green fuel ships, ensuring that customers enjoy stable and efficient logistics services in a fluctuating market.' Industry analysts point out that such cooperation helps enhance the voice of Chinese logistics enterprises in the international shipping market and promote the industry's transformation towards intensification and intelligence.
