Cathay Cargo has activated its third intermodal link for perishable imports into the Greater Bay Area, introducing a refrigerated barge service directly connecting Hong Kong International Airport to its Dongguan terminal. This air-sea route complements existing air-air links to Guangzhou and the Air-Land Fresh Lane across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, creating a fully integrated single-carrier cold-chain network. Trials with Spanish tuna and Thai coconuts confirmed seamless end-to-end transfers under one air waybill, offering shippers cost advantages at scale for premium goods. The expansion strengthens Hong Kong’s gateway role for the GBA’s 80-million consumer market, delivering flexible routing options for temperature-sensitive shipments like fresh produce and seafood while reducing reliance on single-mode transport.
