Hamburg S expands to seven offices in China

German ocean carrier Hamburg S said Monday it has received approval from China's Ministry of Communications to expand its network of proprietary offices in China from one to seven.

Hamburg S's said that because of the extended network of offices, it has expanded sailings every week in the trades between China and South America, South Africa, Australasia and, most recently, the India Subcontinent.
