U-Freight launches third HK logistics facility

U-Freight, the Asia-based freight services group, has strengthened its operations in Hong Kong with the opening of a further dedicated, full-service logistics facility.

The facility is located in Yuen Long, close to the fourth border crossing between Hong Kong and the mainland. It will be operated by a wholly owned subsidiary, U-Freight Logistics, which was established in 2002 to provide full scale fully-customised logistics solutions and total supply chain management facilities.

One of three units available to U-Freight Logistics in Hong Kong, the 60,000 sq ft facility can be customised and modified to individual customer requirements.

The primary function of the warehouse is to provide cross-docking logistics services and temperature-controlled storage and distribution facilities. In addition, the warehouse serves as a CFS for oceanfreight handling and processing.

With two cargo lifts and enough racking for the storage of 1,000 pallets over two floors, the facility can maintain ambient temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees centigrade and relative humidity between 45 percent and 70 percent.

“Continued investment in infrastructure, enables us to offer a range of niche freight services, as well as complete supply chain solutions and regular transportation services by road, rail, sea and air,” said Simon Wong, CEO of the U-Freight Group.

In addition to the three logistics facilities in Hong Kong, U-Freight's network now extends to multiple facilities across the territory.
