On May 29th, Wan Hai's shareholder meeting approved a dividend payout of NT$3.5 per share, totaling approximately NT$9.8 billion to return to shareholders. The company maintains a positive outlook on the long-term development of the shipping market and is actively expanding its global transport network.
