ITEM 8.01       OTHER EVENTS.

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (the “Company” or “Sino-Global”) previously issued a press release announcing and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 10, 2015 and filed with the SEC on April 13, 2015, reporting that on April 10, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 10, 2015 with Rong Yao International Shipping Limited, a Hong Kong company (the “Vessel Seller”) regarding the acquisition (the “Vessel Acquisition”) of an 8,818 gross tonnage oil/chemical transportation tanker called the “Rong Zhou” (the “Vessel”).

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 20, 2015 and filed with the SEC on May 22, 2015, pending completion of the Vessel Acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s entry into time-chartering arrangements to facilitate the transition of the management and operation of the Vessel. Pursuant to the time chartering agreements, the Vessel Seller time-chartered the Vessel to the Company for a two-year period, and the Company time-chartered the Vessel to a third-party charterer also for a two-year period (the “Sino Time Charter Agreement”), with both time chartering agreements commencing on May 20, 2015. Under the terms of the chartering agreements, the third party charterer will pay the Company $7,500 per day, and the Company will in turn pay to the Vessel Seller $3,500 per day.

On June 9, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing that it received the first payment under the Sino Time Charter Agreement, in the amount of $113,500 for the 15-day period beginning May 20, 2015. A copy of the press release is attached to Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and should be read in conjunction with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
