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.

Operacionalmente, el Puerto de Nansha logra la mejor productividad de su clase combinada con un mayor espacio. La reciente expansión en Nansha se completó a principios de año, por lo que las tres terminales están en pleno funcionamiento con atracaderos y capacidad de patio adicionales. Los atracaderos son de aguas profundas, lo que ha permitido que el puerto de Nansha trabaje con más de 15 megabuques este año.

La cooperación con las aduanas en particular está respaldada por los últimos procedimientos disponibles y el estatus preferencial más alto que corresponde a un puerto de zona franca.

Mientras tanto, los puertos de Guangzhou ya pertenecen firmemente a los 10 puertos de contenedores más activos del mundo y el puerto de Nansha por sí solo ya representa más de 11 millones de TEU al año.

“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.”
