A significant milestone in Sino-French trade relations was marked on May 7, when a new shipment of wind power equipment from China docked at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Europe.

The shipment, transported by the general cargo vessel the Chipol Yong'an, operated by the Chipolbrok shipping group – headquartered in East China's Shanghai – is said to attest to the strong and healthy commerce that exists between the two nations.

Amid the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and France, the Chipolbrok group's sustained success in transporting goods along the Belt and Road Initiative is highly rated.

The significance of the shipment lies in France's increasing focus on offshore wind power projects as part of its energy transition efforts. What's more, wind power equipment has emerged as a crucial export for China, reflecting its expertise in the field.

Chipolbrok's expertise in transporting wind power equipment, backed by years of experience, has been instrumental in facilitating these kind of shipments. Its fleet of heavy lifting vessels boasts features especially tailored for transporting large-scale equipment, making it the preferred choice for such endeavors.
