OOCL is the only Hong Kong carrier to obtain official certification to operate as a ‘Ship Agent’ in China. Under the current regulations in the PRC, as a Ship Agent, OOCL can now provide communication and documentation services between OOCL, shippers, consignees, and Customs.
With this important business license, we will be able to communicate on behalf of our customers with various government departments, such as China Customs as well as the Entry-Exit Inspection & Quarantine Bureau, thereby shortening turnaround time and enhancing our service capabilities. Most importantly, that same information can be tracked through our IT network in real time, anywhere in the world. This creates total transparency for the entire PRC shipment process, providing that Vital Link to our customers on China Customs information.
Achieving Ship Agent status demonstrates our commitment and ability to bring automation and vital information to our customers and give them that competitive edge in their market.
