The TransContainer Freight Forwarding Shanghai Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, was established on October 10, 2017, to serve as the Russian company's headquarters in China and focus on port transportation.

The Port of Shanghai handled 37.13 million TEU in 2016, taking the lead among global container ports for seven consecutive years.
