APL renews Kaohsiung terminal lease

American President Lines’ (APL) lease at the Port of Kaohsiung has been extended by ten years to the end of 2027.

Nicolas Sartini, APL CEO said: “Today, Intra-Asia container volume accounts for one-sixth of all containers moved globally. We see further growth prospects in this trade where APL is seeking to be a major player.

He added: “Our terminal in the Port of Kaohsiung will therefore be strategic for our advancement in Intra-Asia where we are connecting the key markets of Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam amongst others via the relay hub today.”
