As part of the agreement, Maersk has been nominated to build and
operate a dedicated warehousing and distribution facility for Nissan

Located just 2 kilometres from the Yangluo port area in Wuhan, the
close proximity of this facility to the port enables efficient and
convenient transportation of cargoes, connecting Nissan’s production
lines in central China with its domestic and global markets.

The warehouse itself boasts an indoor area of 3,000 square meters,
with an additional 500 square meters for temporary expansion, as well

tailor-made for Nissan, including inbound and outbound operations for
parts and pallets, inspections, mix bundling, quality assurance and
other value-added services.

extensively across various areas to explore opportunities for
logistics and services. Now, with the grand opening of this dedicated
warehouse for Nissan in central China, Maersk Greater China team
achieves a significant milestone by bringing the company’s
integrator strategy to life within the automotive industry.
