Logistics provider Hacis has extended its SuperLink China Direct service into Vietnam, establishing an intermodal route for international shippers. The service leverages a Customs-bonded road feeder network to connect Vietnam with air cargo hubs in Hong Kong.
Why it matters
The route aims to provide a more cost-effective alternative to traditional logistics by integrating truck and road-feeder transit. For operators, this offers a new corridor for moving import and export flows through the Hong Kong air-cargo hub.
The expansion follows a successful pilot shipment from Vietnam to Wuzhou and on to Hong Kong. While the full service scale is currently being established, the move seeks to capture additional cargo flows through Hong Kong as the network extends into other parts of Asia.
The players
Hacis
A major logistics provider operating an extensive air-cargo and road-feeder network centered in Hong Kong.
U&I Logistics Corporation
A logistics firm that partnered with Hacis to facilitate the pilot shipment and service extension.
The details
The service functions by transporting cargo via truck from Vietnam to a transfer point in Wuzhou. From there, goods transition to a Customs-bonded road feeder service that moves the shipment into Hong Kong for air transport. The operation is managed under the Single E-lock Scheme, which streamlines the regulatory compliance process for cross-border transit.
Timeline
The service extension and pilot trial details were confirmed on September 22, 2026.
Market Landscape
This route extension utilizes the Single E-lock Scheme to facilitate secure, rapid transit between regional production centers and major air-cargo hubs. It reflects a broader trend of logistics firms tightening intermodal connectivity to maintain competitiveness in trans-Asian trade.
Supply chain managers with operations in Vietnam should evaluate this new intermodal link against current air-freight costs. The use of the Single E-lock Scheme suggests potential improvements in transit speed that may impact procurement timelines.
The takeaway
The integration of road and air logistics via the Single E-lock Scheme provides a model for reducing transit times in cross-border regional trade. Operators should monitor Hacis's future expansion plans, as the company has indicated interest in extending this intermodal network further into Asia.
