Xiamen's new logistics platform seen transforming cargo shipping

Silk Road Maritime, a new logistics facilitation platform launched this week, is promising to add tremendous value to shipping operations in the eastern region by optimizing routes currently in use, industry insiders said.

The Xiamen, Fujian province-based service is expected to lower costs for even urgent shipping orders as it is backed by an alliance of nearly 50 logistics providers across shipping, air, and supply chain sectors, they said.

Li Yifeng, who owned a logistics company in Xiamen, is certain the platform will enhance efficiency.
