Listen to the full version
A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S unveiled its largest global logistics facility Thursday in Shanghai, marking a 1 billion yuan ($141 million) investment that underscores the Danish shipping group’s deepening commitment to China as it pivots toward fully integrated logistics services.
Situated in the Yangshan Special Comprehensive Bonded Zone within Shanghai’s Lingang Special Area, the new warehouse signals a major strategic shift. Rather than operating as separate units, Maersk is integrating its shipping, logistics and terminal operations into a unified offering. The firm is concurrently upgrading sites in Guangzhou, Chengdu and Ningbo, broadening its national network.
The launch reflects how global logistics giants are retooling operations to align with China’s evolving role in global trade — transitioning from a pure exporter to a complex hub managing multi-directional flows. The transformation demands infrastructure that can support more agile, resilient supply chains.
