This achievement is a testament of Kerry Logistics’ excellence and position at the forefront of the maritime logistics sector in Asia. Through a robust network of connections with sea carriers, Kerry Logistics has proven its ability to deliver fast, cost-efficient and reliable ocean freight services to a far-reaching global network. We would like to share this honour with our team, customers and business partners. This is a success which could not have been achieved without them.”
During the year, Kerry Logistics has further strengthened its service capabilities and extended its network coverage into new markets including the Middle East, Canada, New Zealand and United States. Under the One Belt, One Road initiative, Kerry Logistics will leverage on Hong Kong’s position as a shipping hub to develop on the existing maritime infrastructure, enhancing its ocean freight services and connectivity within the region. Kerry Logistics has the ambition to become a major logistics provider for the new Silk Road, both over land and maritime.
