Yusen Logistics (Hong Kong) Limited will establish and start operating its own container freight station (CFS) in the Dongguan Humen Bonded Logistics Park, which is operated by Hong Kong International Airport, as a new project called "Airport City."
The company said among all the participating logistics companies, it is the only logistics provider offering its own CFS.
We provide customers with additional added value in air export cargo services using feeder vessels from South China to Hong Kong International Airport.
AAHK, the airport authority of the Hong Kong government, is promoting the "Airport City" project, which aims to make Hong Kong International Airport a new landmark and promote economic development.
Yusen Logistics has been involved in this project since the beginning.
In October 2022, it began providing a new solution that transports cargo directly from the Bonded Logistics Park (BLP) under the regulations of Hong Kong International Airport to Hong Kong International Airport directly by feeder's vessel and loading it on aircraft.
"We are progressing to the next phase and have opened our own CFS for air export cargo in Dongguan Humen BLP on March 21, 2023," Yusen said in a statement.
"Yusen is the only logistics solution provider to operate its own CFS in this project, and we will provide customers with Yusen Logistics' high-quality, high-value-added services, such as the building up our own ULDs," it added.
The Greater Bay Area, which consists of nine cities — Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing — in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and Macau, is expected to see further economic development in the future.
The Dongguan Humen BLP is positioned as a logistics base station for air cargo in the Greater Bay Area and is expected to play a role as a base of intersection connecting the Greater Bay Area to all of the world, making it easy to access not only from Guangdong Province but also from inside and outside China.
"By opening our own CFS in Dongguan Humen BLP, we will manage our customers' important cargo safely and securely and provide optimal supply chain logistics services connecting the Greater Bay Area with the world," Yusen Logistics said.
