Sinokor Merchant Marine Co. Ltd. inaugurated the first container liner service between Korea and China in 1989, three years before the two countries had established diplomatic relations. These container liner services played a major role in enhancing human resources and economic cooperation and normalizing relations between the two countries.

The establishment of the first direct sailings between Ulsan and Kwangyang in Korea and Chinese ports in 1998 greatly reduced the logistics costs for Korea’s main chemical commodity import/export trades, while offering new routes to meet the export requirements of customers. This in turn led to shorter delivery times and a more efficient service overall. Subsequently, in 2001, Sinokor expanded its Liner services from Pyongtaek in Korea to include Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian in China, pioneering a quality container liner service from Korea’s west coast ports with a reputation for logistical innovation.

Sinokor’s container liner currently services some 60 ports in 20 countries - China, Japan, Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, and the UAE. Sinokor has some 26 subsidiaries with local offices in each country, enabling it to provide first-class, customer oriented services.

Sinokor entered Dry Bulk & Tanker Carriage Sectors in 2001 and provides service with employees of over 100 technical experts who are highly qualified and experienced. Based on its strong abilities, Sinokor has long term contracts with 1st Class Charterers worldwide.

To meet the diverse needs of its customers, Sinokor operates total integrated logistics services, not only including sea transportation, but also air, rail, load and multimodal transportation, warehousing, and container yard operation.

Sinokor is working to develop a global logistics network supported by the service, passion, expertise, experience and ethical standards of its 2,000 dedicated employees, both on shore and at sea. As a total logistics company and a leader in the field, Sinokor is making every possible effort to provide the best services, guided by its three priorities: becoming a customer-oriented company, creating the best logistics management system and developing the best human resources.
