South Korean powerhouse, CJ Logistics Corp., solidifies its global standing by partnering with four leading shipping companies to expand its integrated logistics services across Asia.
In the last eight months alone, the logistics giant has entered into agreements with four such businesses, including SM Line Corp. and Evergreen Marine Corp. from Taiwan. With Evergreen, CJ Logistics has signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly operate a container business between Northeast and Southeast Asia, with access to highly competitive rates and cargo space for container shipments to and from various destinations.
In addition, Evergreen Marine ranks as the sixth largest container carrier globally regarding cargo capacity. But the relationships don't end there. CJ Logistics is collaborating with other members of the Ocean Alliance, including France's CMA-CGM, Hong Kong's OOCL, and Cosco from China.
With SM Line, CJ Logistics is set to offer cold chain freight services between the US and Asia. At the same time, its deal with Namsung Shipping Co. will position the company as a promoter of integrated cold chain logistics services on routes linking Korea to China and Japan. In partnership with Dongyoung Shipping Co., CJ Logistics will also transport container cargo from three Asian countries to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, using ships and railways.
The move by CJ Logistics is designed to provide integrated logistics services by combining sea, air, and land transportation routes. With these new strategic partnerships in place, the company can better manage its integrated logistics capabilities for better results across the board.
These partnerships and collaborations bring CJ Logistics significant advantages in terms of its ability to offer more comprehensive logistics services, especially in an ever-changing, highly competitive market.
For the participating shipping companies, these partnerships can potentially boost their sales through differentiated services in non-shipping sectors, resulting in a mutually beneficial outcome.
