Guangzhou Port Group extends its office network into Europe

After the successful launch of the partnership with Guangzhou Port America LLC one year ago, Guangzhou Port Group is extending its network of offices into Europe with the partnership of Guangzhou Port (Europe) B.V.

Johannes Nanninga, CEO of Guangzhou Port (Europe) B.V. comments that the portfolio of Guangzhou Port group in the Pearl River Delta with deep sea Port of Nansha in the West Pearl River Delta in particular offers very effective and competitive solutions to optimize for Suppliers and Cargo owners their supply chain with South and West China.

Operationeel bereikt Port of Nansha de beste productiviteit in zijn klasse in combinatie met meer ruimte. De recente uitbreiding bij Nansha werd eerder dit jaar voltooid, zodat alle drie de terminals volledig operationeel zijn met extra ligplaatsen en werfcapaciteit. De ligplaatsen zijn diep water, waardoor de haven van Nansha dit jaar meer dan 15 megaschepen heeft kunnen gebruiken.

De samenwerking met in het bijzonder de douane wordt ondersteund door de nieuwste beschikbare procedures en heeft de hoogste preferentiële status die hoort bij een vrijhandelszone-haven.

Ondertussen behoren de havens van Guangzhou al stevig tot de top 10 van drukste containerhavens ter wereld, waarbij Port of Nansha alleen al goed is voor meer dan 11 miljoen TEU-overslag per jaar.

“We’ve been fast growing since the opening of Port of Nansha which benefited clients particularly in West Pearl River Delta (PRD). Our new partnership refers to success last year in the US. We would like to achieve that success also in Europe and to benefit more of the Deep Sea East West routes”, said Mr. Song Xiaoming, Vice President of Guangzhou Port Group.

Johannes Nanninga adds that the hub of Port of Nansha for export and import of South China has a lot of opportunity to grow to its potential with the combination of Logistics Parks situated adjacent to the port. “This really makes it an exciting location to concentrate the supply chains of Exporters from and Importers to South and West China. Definitely in Europe this potential has not been fully recognized yet, which is one of the main missions of Guangzhou Port (Europe) B.V.”
