The company also handles all customs documentation for imports and exports and offers cargo insurance coverage against all risks of physical loss or damage.
It cited economic challenges in its profit warning to its investors.
“The company has been faced with adverse economic challenges this year. The warehousing operations are still significantly low due to the decrease in demand and low economic activities leading to reduced income.”
