The freighter with the first batch of 715 containers departed from Humen Hongye Port on 13 April 2019 to Malacca port in Malaysia, marking a milestone in Xinyi Glass’ expansion of its logistics services.

To continuously increase container capacity, shorten product delivery time and fulfill customers’ demand for open top containers, the Group has specially ordered and shipped the containers on a freighter. These containers are to be mainly used for shipping glass and raw materials.  At 8:00am, 13 April 2019, the freighter fully loaded with the first batch of 715 containers has departed the port, which has laid a good foundation for the Group to meet the rising demand of different customers.
