The company has formed a dedicated team for coordinated cross-departmental efforts. By optimizing the repackaging process and implementing efficient stacking techniques, daily repackaging capacity reached a record high of 800 tons. Additionally, a “green channel” was introduced, allowing 18 containers of fertilizer to be dispatched within only two days. The shipment is now en route via road and domestic trade shipping to key agricultural regions such as Guangdong and Zhejiang, ensuring supply for spring farming.
Meanwhile, COSCO SHIPPING’s CHINA OCEAN SHIPPING AGENCY TAICANG has taken proactive steps to support spring farming logistics, ensuring the smooth shipment of 2,500 tons of organic fertilizer to Haikou. In collaboration with sister companies and leveraging Pan Asia Shipping’s domestic trade routes, the company optimized transport plans to enhance efficiency.
To meet the urgent demand for delivering 2,500 tons of organic fertilizer to Haikou within a month, CHINA OCEAN SHIPPING AGENCY TAICANG implemented a priority service approach — allocating empty containers, expediting transportation, and optimizing loading and unloading procedures. Special handling measures were adopted to protect fertilizer shipments, including moisture-proof treatment and real-time tracking. The fertilizer has now been transported from Taicang to Haikou, reinforcing a stable agricultural supply chain and fostering a promising harvest season.
