Clearing customs for e-commerce and launching independent airline services, this shipping company must transform into diversification
As shipping companies headed by Maersk continue to expand their business diversification, they have transformed from a traditional container shipping company to an end-to-end integrated logistics service provider. They have also acquired the old American customs broker Vandegrift and Europe's largest customs broker KGH.
It is reported that Wanhai Shipping is also transforming to provide diversified services. It has provided fast customs clearance services for goods purchased through e-commerce at its Pier 63 at Kaohsiung Port. On May 17th, Wanhai processed the first batch of express cargo with more than 500 parcels.
The Taiwanese liner operator said that the growth of e-commerce is because the pandemic has forced more people to stay at home. "We have operated a container terminal in Kaohsiung Port for more than 30 years and are optimistic about the growth of online shopping. Through fast customs clearance, we can provide one-stop service and fast logistics services."
