Cargo Care Solutions, a leading global maritime services company, announced  it is now full owner of the company that for more than a decade has been its Chinese operations partner. Cargo Care Solutions has worked with Jiang Yin National Rubber and Plastics since co-founding the Chinese company in 2012 and is now acquiring the remaining 50% of the shares to take full ownership.

In Shanghai for the maritime industry’s Marintec conference this week, Cargo Care Solutions CEO Peter Peltenburg said: “China is a very important maritime center and now is the right time for us to invest further and expand our cargo pump services here as well. Up until now, our focus in China has been with our cargo access business, which is also expanding.”

Going forward, Jiang Yin National Rubber and Plastics will be called Cargo Care Solutions China and will remain in its Jiang Su province location along the eastern coast of China, in close proximity to significant port cities.

Long known as having the world’s busiest container ports, China has been investing heavily in its port infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand for liquid cargo transportation. Chinese ports now handle increasing volumes of liquid goods, such as oil, petroleum products, and LNG.

Servicing liquid cargo vessels requires experts with extensive maritime experience to ensure pumps are kept in excellent working condition. Cargo Care Solutions has provided complete service and maintenance programs for cargo pumps, including inspections, services, and spare parts, for many years from Rotterdam, Singapore, and Houston and will now offer those services in China as well.

Cargo Care Solutions is a maritime specialist in service and parts for cargo access systems including folding, side-rolling and pontoon hatch covers; RoRo-equipment; and watertight doors. Further, the company does maintenance and repair of hydraulic systems for the maritime and offshore industry, including work on cylinders, valves, pumps, motors, and complete hydraulic systems.

“We look forward to expanding all our services in China and are already adding to our team of cargo pump experts,” said Mr. Peltenburg.
