China Shipping establishes two Dubai agencies
China Shipping Container Lines opened two Dubai-based shipping agencies May 23 to capitalize on the rising hub-status of the United Arab Emirates city.
China Shipping Container Lines (West Asia) Holdings Co. Ltd. is wholly owned by the Chinese carrier, while China Shipping Container Lines (United Arab Emirates) Agent Ltd. is a joint company owned by China Shipping and Shalafu (Group) Co. Ltd.
“Dubai is no doubt the economic and trade center for the United Arab Emirates and will radiate her influence to the whole Mid East region, CIS countries, South Asia states and some African countries. Viewing Dubai as a central port within the region, China Shipping is now counting with bigger and bigger container shipping market share in the region,” said China Shipping’s President Li Kelin.
