Customer Feedback

When Time Is Critical, Partnership Matters

When an urgent shipment needed to reach the Maldives for the Qing Jian Group without delay, Samskip Logistics China stepped in and went above and beyond expectations.

Within days, the team arranged the first-ever full charter aircraft for Samskip China, transporting over 55 tons of cargo from Shanghai to Malé. After swift customs clearance, the shipment was delivered to its final destination within just seven hours, keeping the customer’s project firmly on track.

Mr. Song Ji-dong, General Manager, Qing Jian Group, Maldives said, “Samskip Logistics China really did an excellent job! The construction of the new airport terminal was personally supervised by President Mohamed Muizzu. Some suppliers encountered significant difficulties preparing and delivering their cargoes on time. When we had almost given up hope, Samskip China found what might have been the only solution, which turned out to be a great success. Our company received an honorable commendation from the president, but we know a large part of this credit actually goes to Samskip and their local team.”

This achievement reflects more than operational capability. It reflects our commitment to true partnership. At Samskip, going the extra mile is nothing extra for our team.

Whether by sea, land, or air, our colleagues work tirelessly to ensure customers can rely on us when timing, trust, and performance are critical.

This story is a testament to Samskip China’s commitment, innovation, and ability to deliver solutions when it matters most.
