Our history with Da Chan Bay shareholder Modern Terminals goes back more than 40 years, and we look forward to continuing this relationship well into the future."

Da Chan Bay's strategic location in the Pearl River Delta provides carriers and logistics services providers with reliable and efficient access to western Shenzhen's manufacturing base."
