en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Project Freight Network (PFN) has appointed Shanghai Kunwhale Supply Chain Co., Ltd. as its newest member in China, filling a strategic coverage gap in the network. Effective June 5, 2026, this appointment provides PFN with an exclusive local partner in one of the world's largest export markets for industrial and energy equipment.
PFN is a network connecting independent freight forwarders and project cargo specialists across major global trade corridors. The partnership with Shanghai Kunwhale holds significant operational implications for members executing complex projects across multiple continents, as China is a major manufacturing and export source for power generation equipment, transformers, renewable energy components, and heavy industrial machinery.
Shanghai Kunwhale Supply Chain Co., Ltd. offers a service portfolio encompassing sea, air, rail, and road transportation, vessel chartering, port services, and comprehensive EPC project logistics. EPC logistics refers to the end-to-end management of goods related to large infrastructure or industrial construction contracts, often involving oversized or out-of-gauge cargo that cannot be transported via conventional container channels.
The company has handled cargo from industries including power generation, renewable energy, petrochemicals, mining, cement, and industrial manufacturing, shipping heavy machinery, transformers, industrial structures, mining equipment, and railway components to destinations in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Kunwhale's geographic coverage extends to major trade corridors connecting China with Europe, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America, enabling PFN members to access a partner supporting multimodal transport.
Demand for project cargo from Chinese export routes remains stable, driven by sustained investment in energy infrastructure and industrial development in emerging markets. Renewable energy projects are generating significant volumes of heavy-lift and breakbulk cargo, with turbine components, transformer units, and substation equipment being shipped from Chinese manufacturers to project sites in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. For freight forwarders and project owners, access to local partners with chartering and heavy-lift capabilities at the origin is an operational necessity.
PFN is headquartered in the Netherlands, with contact person Peter Bouwhuis. The network describes China as a key market for project logistics and international trade, stating that Kunwhale's proven capabilities in breakbulk, heavy-lift, and project logistics will strengthen support for global members and clients. This appointment reflects a common pattern among specialized logistics networks to strengthen their China presence amid sustained growth in project cargo volumes.
The member group that Kunwhale joins is described by PFN as carefully selected, with the network emphasizing collaboration among independent experts over scale or volume as its primary value proposition for project cargo clients.
