New York-based Sino-Global Shipping America has entered into a strategic partnership with Shandong Hi-Speed TEU Logistics, a Chinese state-owned company involved in the transportation of twenty-foot equivalent units across China and globally.

According to Sino-Global, under the partnership, the two companies will establish a standardized network which will unite Chinese carriers of TEUs by sea and rail, and coordinate with parties in North America and Australia.

“We intend to leverage our unique relationships in China to better form a true global logistics platform,” said Lei Ceo, CEO of Sino-Global. “The partnership with Shandong Hi-speed TEU will allow us to jointly build a platform that utilizes technology to assist customers through the entire shipping value chain. A customer on the platform in Shandong can carry a container via rail in China and ship it to North America, where it can be seamlessly sent to a vendor who delivers it to end customers. We believe that this is another step in our evolution to a global logistics provider.”

The partnership will serve both upstream and downstream customers with a door-to-door supply chain service, according to Sino-Global.
