Maersk to build first green and smart flagship logistics centre in Lin-gang, Shanghai
Maersk, a leading global logistics company, signed the Land Grant Contract with the administrative committee of Lingang new area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone in late December 2022.
This marks the official start of Maersk’s first green and smart flagship logistics centre in China with low or very low greenhouse gas emissions. With a total investment of 174 million US dollars, the project is expected to start operation in Q3,2024.
The Lingang flagship logistics centre is designed to have a warehousing storage of 150,000 sqm, comprising four ramped 3-storey high standard warehouses and one 24-metre-high warehouse with automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).
It will provide customers with a wide range of integrated logistics services, including international export consolidation, regional and global order fulfilment and distribution, cross border e-commerce and other value-added logistics services.
Maersk is continuously enhancing its logistics capabilities to offer integrated end-to-end solutions to customers worldwide. Shanghai plays a critical role for Maersk global network.
With Lingang’s proximity to Yangshan port and its favourable free trade policies, the flagship logistics centre will provide agile and sustainable solutions, connecting and simplifying our customers’ supply chains.
The flagship facility will apply for the highest platinum level certification of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
It will use advanced environmental-friendly materials in construction and be equipped with a rainwater management system and solar panels to optimize efficiency on water and energy consumption.
On completion, to improve the environmental footprint further, the new facility will be equipped with LED lighting, nature ventilation, non-fossil energy heating systems and electric vehicle and equipment charging piles.
