NIPPON EXPRESS (SHANGHAI) COMMENCES OPERATIONS AT YANGSHAN'S NEW EXPORT WAREHOUSE


KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express (Shanghai) Co Ltd (hereinafter NE Shanghai), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd, has begun operations at a new export warehouse in the Yangshan region of China.


Container volume at Shanghai Port in 2020 was up 0.5 per cent from the previous year to about 43.5 million TEU, recording the highest volume of containers handled at any port worldwide for the 11th consecutive year.


According to a statement, the Yangshan Terminal also exceeded 20 million TEU for the first time, marking a new all-time high despite the COVID-19 pandemic.


Viewing the Yangshan area as an important export base complementing the Waigaoqiao area in Shanghai, NE Shanghai opened a new warehouse favourably situated 20km from Donghai Bridge and 50km from the Yangshan Terminal, and marked the occasion with an opening ceremony held on Oct 11.


The new warehouse, which mainly handles automobile parts, has a low-floor, double-ended access configuration suitable for cross-dock export operations, and also provides returnable container management and packing style conversion.


In future, NE Shanghai will be working to enhance the warehouse's capacity to serve as an import/export base for shipments to/from Europe and the US, digitising warehouse operations, and utilising cutting-edge technology to save labour.


The Nippon Express Group will become the NX Group and introduce new Group brand symbols on Jan 4, next year.
