On March 7, 2013 Globe Handling and Sun Group announced that they signed a Letter of Intent creating the basis for continued negotiations between the two companies, aiming at an agreement to transfer full ownership of Sun Ground Services in the USA to Globe Handling. As a first step, both parties intend to establish a joint venture company to which the business and operations of Sun Ground Services will be transferred.

As of September 1, 2013 Sun Ground Services was divided into three divisions, SGS Pacific, SGS Central and SGH Eastern, respectively, in preparation for the planned sale to Globe Handling. At the same time, Globe Handling, in according to the Letter of Intent, have bought 10% shares in each of these three divisions, while negotiations still continue.
