China has firmly established itself as the world’s largest automobile exporter, driven by the surging global demand for electric vehicles. In 2023, nearly 5 million vehicles were exported from China, a testament to the country’s growing influence in the global automotive market. But behind these impressive numbers lies a complex and well-oiled machine that ensures these vehicles reach their destinations safely, reliably, and efficiently. This is where COSCO SHIPPING steps into the spotlight.
COSCO SHIPPING has been a pioneer in car transportation services since 2003, becoming the first Chinese company to enter the professional car transport sector both domestically and internationally. Their commitment to innovation and safety has set them apart, and their latest advancements continue to raise the bar in the industry.
Leveraging their global integrated logistics and supply chain service ecosystem, COSCO SHIPPING has recently launched the COSCO SHIPPING Ports Automobile Supply Chain Digital Platform. This cutting-edge platform is a game-changer for the industry, offering full-chain dynamic visualization that tracks each vehicle from reception to delivery. By using the vehicle frame number as the smallest management unit, the platform provides real-time updates and insights into the status of goods. This level of transparency and control ensures that customers, both domestic and international, can monitor their vehicles every step of the way.
One of the standout features of COSCO SHIPPING’s service is their expertise in RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) transport. This method, where vehicles are driven on and off the vessel using their own wheels, has been a staple of car transportation since the 1960s. However, COSCO SHIPPING has taken it to the next level with the introduction of the world’s largest green RoRo vessel, the “Liao He Kou.” This colossal ship, along with her sister vessel “Min Jiang Kou,” embarked on her maiden voyage to Europe on July 10th this year. Together, these vessels can carry up to 7,500 vehicles on 13 decks, essentially creating a massive, traveling car park on the sea.
COSCO SHIPPING’s advancements in car transportation services, combined with their innovative digital platform, showcase their leadership in the industry. As China’s automobile exports continue to soar, COSCO SHIPPING remains at the forefront, ensuring that these vehicles are transported with the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency.
