Global Ports, part of the Delo Group, and Chinese container shipping company Hua Xin Container Lines signed an agreement on 11 September to expand cargo transportation between China and Russia.
Liu Junhui, CEO of Hua Xin Container Lines, and Igor Pukhov, CCO of Global Ports, agreed to expand sea container transportation between Chinese ports and the Russian Far East via the terminal of Vostochnaya Stevedoring Company (VSC), headquartered in the port of Vostochny and owned by Global Ports.
Hua Xin Container Lines handles import and export cargo movements between VSC and the PRC ports of Qingdao and Taicang.
“Over the last year, the pool of foreign trade lines of the VSC terminal has been renewed by 85%, and today about half of the carriers working through our Far East terminal are from the PRC. I would like to thank Hua Xin Container Lines for their trust in Global Ports. The service of the Line will allow us together to create additional opportunities to strengthen foreign trade logistics chains between Russian and Chinese businesses,” said Igor Pukhov.
“The Far East is the main hub for import and export cargo flows between Russian and Chinese ports. We are pleased to develop international sea container transportation in this direction in partnership with one of the main container terminals in the region, the VSC, and to create new services for our customers for international deliveries,” stated Liu Junhui.
