Gulftainer, a prominent regional port operator and specialised logistics and supply chain solutions provider, organised a significant meeting with important traders and goods forwarders in Shenzhen to reiterate its desire to strengthen logistics and trade ties with the vibrant goods forwarding community of South China. Gulftainer is based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

Sharjah Container Terminal (SCT) and Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT), two of Gulftainer’s premier trade gateways in the Northern Emirates of the country, were highlighted at the meeting, which was also attended by the Shenzhen International Freight Forwarders Association and the Qingdao Logistics Network.

In his welcome address to South China’s freight forwarders, Andrew Hoad, Chief Commercial Officer of Gulftainer said, “Our meeting with the Shenzhen International Freight Forwarders Association and the Qingdao Logistics Network underscores our commitment to nurturing mutually beneficial trade partnerships. With our state-of-the-art supply chain and logistics facilities and strategically situated terminals, Gulftainer is ideally poised to facilitate the seamless movement of cargoes and enhance connectivity between South China and the UAE through Sharjah Container Terminal and Khorfakkan Container Terminals. We firmly believe that this event will pave the way to explore new avenues of growth and reinforce trade relations between our regions.”

The conversations also covered the many opportunities offered by Gulftainer’s Momentum Logistics (ML), particularly in trucking and warehousing, which are essential parts of an integrated distribution hub. As participants discussed the resilience of trade volume coming from Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta region, extending its reach not only to the UAE but also across the Indian Ocean region, the meeting reverberated with a profound sense of confidence.

Gulftainer continues to play a vital role in fostering international trade and enhancing logistical efficiency. These joint initiatives serve to highlight the company’s unwavering dedication to advancing international trade.
