Shanghai Securities Journal China Securities Journal News: Recently, Jinjiang Shipping released its 2025 annual report. In 2025, Jinjiang Shipping achieved operating revenue of 7.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.43%; net profit attributable to the parent was 1.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 47%. Jinjiang Shipping is a comprehensive shipping company mainly engaged in international and domestic container shipping business. The annual report shows that by the end of 2025, the company operated a total of 55 ships, including 28 owned vessels and 27 leased vessels.

Against the backdrop of the global supply chain accelerating restructuring and continuous adjustments in the liner shipping industry, main routes face challenges to stability due to geopolitical factors and liner alliance restructuring. Shanghai Jinjiang Shipping (Group) Co., Ltd., which has been deeply involved in the Asian near-sea market for over forty years, leverages a clear strategic business layout, continuously strengthening premium routes, regional deep cultivation, and rapid delivery services, forging a differentiated development path.

Jinjiang Shipping adheres to the principle of “small but refined, refined and excellent” in route layout, focusing on the Asian near-sea region, concentrating resources to develop premium routes. The Northeast Asia route is its “first growth pole,” with the Shanghai-Japan market consistently ranking first in the industry for market share for many years. Its on-time performance far exceeds industry averages, making it an important choice for China-Japan trade transportation. Based on this, Jinjiang Shipping has extended its layout to premium feeder lines such as Taicang-Japan, Qingdao-Japan, and Dalian-Japan, forming an efficient “dual hub” route network with high coordination, improving capacity utilization and customer stickiness. For high-value manufacturing clients like Uniqlo and Panasonic, Jinjiang Shipping offers specialized container transportation solutions such as garment boxes and refrigerated containers, along with customized solutions, supporting stable gross profit margins on this route.

Building on its advantages in the Northeast Asia market, Jinjiang Shipping has replicated its premiumization concept in Southeast Asia, creating the “Silk Road Express” series of routes, promoting Southeast Asia routes to become its “second growth pole.” Taking advantage of regional trade benefits brought by RCEP, Jinjiang Shipping has launched services such as Haiphong Silk Road Express, Thailand-Vietnam Silk Road Express, and Ho Chi Minh Silk Road Express. In January 2026, it launched the “Thailand Silk Road Express” premium route, deploying four brand-new 1900TEU owned vessels for independent operation, achieving fast delivery services from Shanghai to Laem Chabang in 7 days and Laem Chabang to Tokyo in 11 days, significantly reducing transit times.

Jinjiang Shipping focuses on three core regions: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and cross-strait areas, achieving deep penetration and continuous expansion. In the Japanese market, leveraging over forty years of operational experience, it has established long-term stable cooperation with major ports and agents, optimized customs clearance processes, improved cargo turnover efficiency, and deeply integrated high-value manufacturing clients through HDS rapid delivery services. In the Korean market, route services are steadily growing, with linkage to Japanese routes to achieve comprehensive coverage of the Northeast Asia market.

As a key expansion market, Southeast Asia, Jinjiang Shipping adopts a “copy + innovation” strategy. In 2025, it established a joint logistics company in Vietnam, added full-route intermodal services in Cambodia’s Phnom Penh, and improved the “end-to-end” service chain, enabling efficient connection between the Mekong River basin and Ho Chi Minh routes. Meanwhile, it strengthened cooperation with local ports and logistics companies to optimize collection, warehousing, and distribution services. Currently, Jinjiang Shipping has 28 sales and service outlets domestically and abroad, covering major port cities in core regions, forming a “nearby service, rapid response” system, continuously monitoring regional trade dynamics, and adjusting service strategies in a timely manner.

Jinjiang Shipping aims to build an “hourly precise” service commitment, creating an HDS rapid delivery service system. On China-Japan routes, it implements a “pick-up within 2 hours after berthing” standard, becoming a container liner company offering bidirectional HDS import and export services.

In terms of capacity assurance, Jinjiang Shipping invests in new ships to improve sailing speed and on-time performance, establishing a linkage mechanism with terminals and agents to realize “berthing and unloading, unloading and pickup” efficiency. In process optimization, it simplifies HDS service procedures, promotes “one-stop” services, and allows customers to monitor cargo status in real-time via the “Jinjiang eShipping” app, handling collection, customs declaration, and pickup procedures. It also implements “one ship, one policy” precise guarantees to achieve “zero waiting” for berthing and “zero delay” for departure. In technological empowerment, it optimizes container transportation management systems and vessel management systems, expands the deployment of the digital operation support system (DOSS system), and deepens the integrated “one-stop” decision support information management system to support HDS services.

On China-Japan routes, Jinjiang Shipping was the first to launch the Super HDS upgraded solution, providing faster and more accurate delivery services for high-value and urgent cargo. Currently, HDS services are fully covered on China-Japan routes, deeply binding high-value clients with low sensitivity to freight rates and high service efficiency requirements. (Li Dao)
