This partnership is expected to boost mobilization efficiency and logistics support for HKFSD’s international rescue operations.

We are honored to have participated in the earthquake rescue missions in Myanmar and Turkey. This collaboration is a strategic progression of our partnership with the HKFSD for international emergency rescue operations. Alongside rapid material dispatch and supply chain management, KLN will also draw on its global network, freight expertise, and robust local resources to support the Hong Kong, China Search and Rescue Team’s mobility and on-ground needs, enabling their rescue teams to operate effectively as soon as they arrive on‑site.”

Through the signing of this MOU, both parties set the foundation for collaboration in the following four areas:

(1) Establishing pre-positioned supply hubs strategically located across KLN’s global network, integrating advanced technology for smart equipment and personnel management to streamline planning procedures;

(2) Jointly developing an AI-driven adaptive model that incorporates KLN’s end-to-end logistics services and support for local rescue operations, enhancing operational and mobilisation capabilities;

(3) Utilizing sophisticated equipment and supply management platform, combined with KLN’s professional services across countries and regions, to ensure precise tracking and resource control; and
