Being temperature-controlled, our containers are provided for any cargo that needs special care. This lends its full benefit in shipping.

There is also a saving on freight charges, when separate consignments intended for the same port of destination are carried in one container, and an additional saving on insurance because of lower premium charged for container-shipped goods.

We enclose a copy of our tariff and look forward to receiving your instructions.

Yours faithfully, Spike Chung
