HONG KONG: The Charter Link Logistics Group (CTL) are pleased to announce our latest milestone with the opening of its Australia office this month. The move is expected to make a sizable expansion in the South Pacific region, and further strengthen the existing trade lanes to and from Asia, USA, and Latin America.

"China and Australia have a significant bilateral relationship, based on strong economic complementarities and established community links. China accounts for nearly one-third of Australia's global trade and is among the leading countries for foreign direct investment. We are proud to establish ourselves in Australia to reflect its significance to our group", said Benny Chan, Chairman of Charter Link Logistics Group.

Since forming in 1998, CTL has been known as a top-tier neutral Asian LCL consolidator and made significant inroads into establishing itself on a global scale in the recent years. Our latest project completions include the opening of two Spanish offices at Barcelona and Valencia and attaining ISO 9001:2015 (QMS) & ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security) accreditation at our corporate headquarters.

"I am delighted to help bring CTL to Australia. The company's growth has been phenomenal despite the pandemic and related adversities. CTL now has over 40 international offices and has a strong foothold in key global markets such as India, US, and LATAM", commented Michael C. Tsui, Charter Link's Executive Director.

CTL will be positioned as one of the front runners in the Australian cargo consolidations industry. It will commence with China origins, bringing in 25 weekly scheduled LCL consolidation services into Australian destinations, and will progressively phase in the rest of Asian and International origins.

"We are excited to provide the Australian forwarding industry with much needed additional sailings and frequency, along with the digital capabilities and user experience that has helped establish CTL as leading neutral LCL consolidator," said Gavin Armstrong, Managing Director of Charter Link Australia.

CTL globally hopes to be well-positioned to capture further growth opportunities in the post-COVID market environment. Its vision is to be part of the next generation of standards, set forth by the United Nations' Global Agenda for 2030.
