COSCO Shipping has officially commenced its new daily express service between the major Asian ports in Yantian and Hong Kong.
The new service launched on 1 March, when the first barge, totaling 748 tons and loaded with 1.65 million nucleic acid testing reagents and other key supplies for pandemic control and people’s livelihood, departed the Yantian International Container Terminal in Shenzhen for Hong Kong.
“To help Hong Kong fight against the virus, this batch of nucleic acid testing reagents is currently the largest batch of pandemic prevention medical supplies sent to Hong Kong via Yantian,” said COSCO in its statement.
