ROSLYN, N.Y., June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sino-Global Shipping
America, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SINO) ("Sino-Global", the "Company" or
"we"), a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistic
integrated solution provider, today announced the signing of
General Agency Service Agreement (the "Agreement") to provide
comprehensive shipping agency services with Mandarine Bulk Ltd, a
ship owner and operator company registered in Marshall Islands. The Agreement began on
June 1, 2020 and is valid for two
years, with initial revenues from the agreement beginning in the
Company's current fourth quarter. As previously disclosed, the
Company has entered into a purchase agreement with Mr. Kelin Wu, the controller of Mandarine Bulk Ltd,
under which the Company will purchase 75% of the equity of
Mandarine Ocean Ltd from Mr. Wu.
Pursuance to the Agreement, Mandarine Bulk has appointed
Sino-Global as the Sole General Shipping Agency for all its owned
and operated ships with services including ship management
services, shipping agency services, ship brokerage services and
other services required for ship operation. Sino-Global anticipates
annualized revenue to the Company of approximately $12.0 million. In the last six weeks, the Company
has signed separate shipping services agreements that it expects
will add $19.0 million in revenue on
an annualized basis.
Mr. Lei Cao, Chief Executive Officer of Sino-Global, stated,
"Throughout the past year, we have worked diligently to continue
building a solid customer base that can lead to favorable top-line
growth as we transitioned into providing shipping agency services
globally. We are very pleased with the progress our Company has
made, and this agreement is evidence of our ability to scale our
agency services despite challenging operating conditions brought
about by U.S. / China trade
relations and then the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we strengthened
our management team and have utilized our relationships in the U.S.
and China to secure agency
contracts that we expect will add approximately $19.0 million in revenue from what we expect to
be stable, long-term customers. Mandarine Bulk is predominantly
focused on operating its own and chartered ships for global
transportation of drybulk commodities among major ports. We expect
to utilize this agency relationship to continue building out our
platform of global logistics solutions."
