Beijing, December 19, 2012 -- Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (Nasdaq: SINO), a leading non-state-owned provider of shipping agency services operating primarily in China, today announced that it has established a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Canada Inc., to provide services for ships loading commodities at Canadian ports and delivering them to China.

Sino-Global Shipping Canada is already providing shipping services to Baosteel’s vessels in Canada. Baosteel, based in Shanghai, China, is the second largest steel producer in the world with huge demands for iron ore and other commodities.

The new wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary is another step in establishing Sino-Global as the pre-eminent provider of shipping services worldwide. Canada is a country rich in natural resources and is a major shipper of such commodities throughout the world. We anticipate that Sino-Global Shipping Canada will open up additional Canadian business opportunities that will result in incremental revenues and earnings.
