Antong Holdings reported revenue of RMB 4.62 billion in the first half of 2026, up 5.25% year on year, while net profit increased 28.14% to RMB 656 million.

During the reporting period, Antong completed 1.62 million TEUs of domestic ocean freight volume, up 3.92% year on year.

The company attributed its growth to network optimization and service upgrades, which slightly increased its average domestic ocean freight rate and improved the profitability of domestic logistics operations.

In the international shipping market, the charter market remained strong. Antong continued to deploy some vessels into foreign trade container shipping through time charter arrangements, generating positive operating results.

In domestic trade, Antong continued to optimize its route network and strengthen port-shipping cooperation. It worked with Dongguan Port, Wenzhou Port and Tianjin Port to develop high-quality north-south express services, and also launched routes including Tianjin–Shantou and Zhanjiang–Tianjin.

The company also expanded multimodal transport services by integrating container trucking resources, offline service outlets, terminals, vessels and mainline capacity. Through a “one-stop acceptance, one-ticket-through” model, Antong aims to improve end-to-end transport efficiency and reduce coordination costs for customers.
