Maersk has officially opened its flagship logistics centre in Shanghai’s Lin-gang area, marking one of the company’s largest warehousing investments worldwide. The state-of-the-art facility, built with an investment of more than USD 140 million, spans 113,000 square metres with 147,000 square metres of storage space.
Designed to support customers in China, the wider Asia-Pacific region and global markets, the Lin-gang centre offers a full suite of fulfilment and omnichannel logistics services. As part of Maersk’s integrated logistics network, the new hub aims to enhance efficiency, flexibility and resilience across supply chains.
“Our new state-of-the-art logistics centre in Lin-gang is another milestone in the implementation of Maersk’s integrated logistics strategy in the Chinese market. China is not only the world’s largest exporter but also a key consumer market.
This facility significantly enhances our omnichannel fulfilment capabilities and further strengthens the connection between China and international markets. It’s another testament to our commitment towards continuously evolving our logistics solutions, helping customers overcome trade challenges and unlock new growth opportunities,” said Vincent Clerc, CEO at Maersk.
The opening ceremony was attended by Zhao Yihuai, vice chairman of the Lin-gang Special Area Administration; Jens Alsbirk, consul general of Denmark in Shanghai; Zhou Ying, deputy director general of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission; as well as representatives from municipal authorities, customs and regulatory agencies. Maersk customers, executives and employees also took part in the event.
