The group has recently launched cold-chain express lines linking the port with southeastern Asian countries Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
According to its statement, the new lines have contributed to a 32 per cent year-on-year increase in the number of reefer boxes handled in the first quarter.
The group has also announced three new container routes over the same period.
