The project is planned to be developed in two phases. The first phase covers an area of about 23,800 square meters and will build two high-standard double-layer ramp warehouses, which can provide about 20,000 square meters of storage area. It is expected to be completed and put into operation in the first quarter of 2023.

COSCO SHIPPING Ports’ Xiamen Haicang Supply Chain Project is based in Fujian Province and serves the whole world. Leveraging on own resources, leading practices in smart operations and green, low-carbon areas, it better integrates Xiamen’s excellent business environment and preferential policy support in terms of free trade pilot zone, port infrastructure facilities, industrial supporting facilities. With our synergy with COSCO SHIPPING’s world’s largest fleet size, we will further promote the construction of a national-level port logistics hub in Xiamen with high quality.

At present, COSCO SHIPPING Ports is building new port supply chain ecology, including inbound railways and logistics facilities in some hub terminals. In China, with the three key nodes of Guangzhou Nansha, Xiamen and Wuhan as the centres, a supply chain base radiating the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, southeast coast and the central region will be established. Overseas, COSCO SHIPPING Ports has initially formed five major overseas supply chain bases: the Port of Piraeus in Greece leverages on the “China-Europe Sea Express” service and supporting regional PCT LCL centre that mainly radiates the east coast of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and Central Europe; CSP Valencia Terminal and CSP Bilbao Terminal in Spain have two auxiliary railway stations in Madrid and Zaragoza, and are building a supply chain base radiating the west coast of the Mediterranean and North Africa; CSP Zeebrugge Terminal radiates Northwestern Europe through terminal and logistics park related services; Leveraging on the CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal and CFS, and build supply chain base in the Persian Gulf, India and Pakistan, and
East Africa. In addition, we are accelerating the construction of the Peruvian Chancay supply chain base, which radiates the western region of South America and is actively strengthening customer-centric service capability.

From point to surface, from surface to net. Adhering to the development concept of “T”e Ports for ALL”, in the future, COSCO SHIPPING Ports will continue to utilize the rapid evolution of the supply chain to provide global customers with ports and supply chain services with linkage effects in terms of cost, service and synergy.
