September 10-14 The 2025 China
International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) took place at Shougang
Industrial Park in Beijing. COSCO SHIPPING Group
participated in the event alongside six of its major subsidiaries COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co.,
Ltd., COSCO SHIPPING Bulk Co., Ltd., COSCO SHIPPING Energy
Transportation Co., Ltd., COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers Co., Ltd., COSCO SHIPPING Development
Co., Ltd., and COSCO Shipping Logistics & Supply Chain Management Co.,
Ltd. coming together for a
joint exhibition. With a focus on its
integrated service model of “shipping + ports + logistics,” the Group highlighted its
recent innovations and real-world applications that support global trade
from multiple perspectives. Florens International
Limited, a subsidiary of COSCO
SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd., presented four key highlights
at the exhibition. 
Brand Strength: Four Decades of Commitment and Industry
Leadership Since its founding in
1981, the company has evolved
into a leading global container leasing provider, driven by deep industry
expertise and continuous innovation. Global Reach: A Comprehensive Service Network Around the World Our operations span 43
countries, with nearly 320 service
locations delivering efficient,
localized support to customers across the globe. Digital Innovation: iFlorens as a Hub for the Industrial
Ecosystem Using an open aggregation
model, iFlorens connects key
supply chain stakeholders—including shipowners, buyers, and terminal
operators— providing smart, efficient
data-driven services. Business Innovation: Redefining the Customer Experience with
Online Processing By leading the development
of online container processing models, the company establishing a
standardized platform for container trade. Container leasing may be somewhat familiar,
yet not widely understood. A useful way to think
about it is similar to leasing a car. 
In short, car rentals focus on
consumer needs and short-term convenience. Container leasing serves
as a long-term asset solution that combines finance and logistics. We are committed to
maintaining the efficient flow of containers worldwide, enabling shipping
companies and cargo owners to access equipment and
transport goods seamlessly across global markets, providing strong and
reliable support for international trade. That cup of South American
coffee in the morning, the European or American
skincare on your vanity, the T-shirt made in
Vietnam …… these everyday essentials
travel across oceans and continents, often spending part of
their journey in our leased shipping containers before arriving safely and
efficiently at your doorstep. While we don’t produce the
goods ourselves, we provide them with an
“ultra-durable suitcase” for their journey across the seas. Looking ahead, COSCO SHIPPING Development
will continue working with global partners to build a more resilient
and sustainable supply chain ecosystem. The China International
Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) is the world’s largest comprehensive
exhibition dedicated to the service trade sector. This year’s event, themed
“Digital Intelligence Leading the Way, Shaping the Future of Service Trade,”
underscores its global reach and focus on professionalism, digital
innovation, and sustainability—serving as a key platform for international
collaboration in the service trade. |
