PR Newswire (US)
BEIJING, April 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Sino-Global Shipping
America, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SINO) ("Sino-Global" or the "Company"), a
leading, non-state-owned provider of shipping agency services
operating primarily in China, today announced the establishment of
two new branches in Yantai, Shandong province and Yingkou, Liaoning
province, China. The new branch offices give Sino-Global a presence
in eight ports in China, and will enable the company to provide a
full range of services to companies doing business in the Yantai
and Yingkou ports. The Company has contractual arrangements with
local shipping agencies in all mainland Chinese ports in which it
does not have a branch office. "Expanding the geographic reach of
our services continues to be one of our key development strategies
as we strive to better serve the needs of our clients from port to
port," said Mr. Cao Lei, Sino-Global's chief executive officer.
"Our ability to be responsive to the needs of our clients while
concurrently offering a comprehensive suite of high-quality
shipping agency services gives us unique advantages compared to our
large, state-owned competitors and the hundreds of small, local
shipping agencies with which we compete. I'm confident that this
geographic expansion combined with our strategy of low-cost
expansion into complementary business areas such as handling cargo
and renting and staffing ships will allow us to maintain positive
growth momentum even within this economic downturn." Yantai port
handles mainly container, bulk cargo, and Roll-on/Roll-off traffic
for goods such as fertilizer, iron ore, grain, cement, coal and
rock such as granite. Due to extensive land transportation links
including rail and highway, Yantai port is one of China's major
harbors for water-land trans-shipment. Yingkou port is the
second-largest port in northeast China and the tenth-largest
nationwide. The port mainly processes shipments of containers,
grain, automobile and finished oil, but other common shipments
include iron, steel, timber, coal, bulk chemical fertilizer,
mineral powder, liquid chemicals, petroleum, beverages, ceramic
tiles and non-metal products. About Sino-Global Shipping America,
Ltd. Registered in the United States in 2001 and operating
