Renowned for setting global benchmarks in oversized cargo logistics, COSCO SHIPPING was the first company in the world to introduce marine transport of large aircraft components using container vessels. Key aircraft sections—including fuselages, wings, and other structural parts—travel over 20,000 kilometers from Hamburg to Tianjin. The multimodal journey takes approximately 41 days, involving ocean freight, inland transportation, and highly coordinated port operations.

The expansion of Airbus’ production capacity in Asia underscores the growing strategic importance of the region in the global aerospace supply chain. For COSCO SHIPPING, the new contract reaffirms its leading position and trusted reputation in the high-tech cargo sector, where reliability, precision, and on-time performance are mission-critical.

The new agreement includes comprehensive logistics services within the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, with customized handling solutions tailored to the needs of next-generation aircraft components.
