In brief
The logistics data platform faces lawsuits and lost partnerships, but the investigation could not establish why it retreated.
China's LOGINK logistics data platform has lost international connections and faced financial and legal problems, according to a Reuters investigation reported by ZN.UA on 5 October.
Its membership in the International Port Community Systems Association ended in 2024 after unpaid dues, an informed source said. The association's chief confirmed its departure. Japan also reported losing access to LOGINK data, while meetings involving China, Japan and South Korea stopped after China cancelled a March 2024 gathering.
Corporate data cited in the investigation showed at least 39 lawsuits against the commercial entity behind LOGINK's Wenzhou hub since January 2024, involving about $1.3 million. LOGINK did not respond to Reuters' inquiries.
The retreat coincided with US restrictions and pressure on partners over data security. Some US officials and experts feared the platform could track sensitive shipments, including weapons bound for Ukraine. LOGINK had denied the capacity to collect confidential commercial information, and Reuters could not establish what caused its decline.
