The agreement was signed by Huang Guo Sheng, Director-General of Guanzhou Harbor Bureau, Guangdong Province, China, and Khoo Teng Chye, Group President of the PSA Corporation.

The newly-formed company, named Guangzhou-PSA Logistics Co Ltd., was set up as a joint venture between Guangzhou Container Comprehensive Development Co Ltd and PSA China Pte Ltd, PSA Corporation's subsidiary, and designed to provide specialized third-party logistics services for large MNCs based in South China and comprehensive container depot services to complement the operations at the three container berths at Guanzhou Huangpu Xingang.
