(CL), and Andreas Bullwinkel, Managing Director of Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven JadeWeserPort-Marketing GmbH & Co. KG, in the presence of Mr Tong Laiming, Vice President of the Chengtong Group. The logistics centre is to occupy a 20 hectare site in the north of the Freight Village to handle Chinese goods.
China Logistics based in Beijing, is one of the largest Chinese logistics businesses, and operates 58 logistics centres with around 8 million m² of space, and is a subsidiary of the China Chengtong Group (CCT).

The logistics centre has the potential of playing a part in the “Belt and Road Initiative” in the medium term.”
