CGL Logistics is a Hong Kong-based freight forwarding company that arranges cargo shipments, primarily exports from mainland China and Hong Kong to Europe, Asia, and North America. Operating an asset-light model without owning vessels or aircraft, CGL acts as an intermediary, purchasing cargo capacity from ocean carriers, airlines, and rail operators to transport goods. The company primarily serves overseas freight forwarders who resell logistics services, alongside direct corporate clients in industries including electronics, apparel, and agriculture. CGL's main service is sea freight forwarding, complemented by air freight through direct Cargo Sales Agent arrangements with airlines, rail freight, and agency services such as customs clearance and warehousing. CGL operates on a cost-plus business model, earning the spread between the carrier costs it secures and the rates it charges customers on a per-shipment basis without long-term contracts. CGL's strategy includes expanding its footprint into East and Southeast Asia, growing its airline partnerships, upgrading digital booking platforms, and pursuing acquisitions.
