During negotiations for the China Logistics-Wilhelmshaven Hub, there were as many as three. \u201cWe could especially score points with the size of our space, the expansion potential and the immediate availability,\u201d Andreas Bullwinkel reports. In February of this year, the Managing Directors of Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven JadeWeserPort Marketing (JWPM) and China Logistics signed the leasehold contract for the new hub. As of 2021, an area of 20 hectares will be used to transship Chinese goods.<\/p>\n
But one thing at a time. Bullwinkel reports that \u201cfive and a half years ago, our representative Zhang Hui in China first made contact with representatives of China Logistics at a trade fair as part of his acquisition tours.\u201d As further discussions and negotiations took place, which also involved about 20 on-site appointments, it became clear that China Logistics wants to direct itself towards Europe and therefore needs its own FV. \u201cIn the beginning, the biggest challenge was to be able to hold our own against the established port in Antwerp with our then still small location,\u201d recalls the JWPM Managing Director. \u201cHowever, contrary to the Belgians, we have the advantage of having unoccupied, available and ready to build areas in the immediate vicinity of the terminal.\u201d Additionally, Wilhelmshaven is the only German location to offer a deep water port. In the end, it was these unique selling propositions that convinced China Logistics, which has its headquarters in Beijing and is one of the largest logistics companies in China, operating 58 logistics centres with an area of around eight million square metres.<\/p>\n
However, before things can really get going, there are still a few administrative hurdles that need to be overcome. \u201cWe trust that the building application for the basic configuration of the 40,000 square metre hall will be processed quickly,\u201d Bullwinkel comments. \u201cSo far we have had very good experiences in Wilhelmshaven.\u201d The first phase will also include 110,000 square metres of uncovered storage space. The connecting track has already been laid; all that remains to be done by China Logistics is to lay the points and three or four parallel tracks with a length of about 250 metres. No time delays are to be expected here: \u201cConstruction companies are happy to take on such large-scale projects,\u201d the managing director emphasises. Overall, the construction work is expected to take about nine months. \u201cOur aim is that China Logistics will be able to launch its first operations in April or May 2021.\u201d For this purpose, 100 million euros will be invested in the final expansion stage. In the first phase, costs amounting to 25 million euros are estimated for the hall and the uncovered storage area.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_7″ show_border=”off” admin_label=”Werbung Startseite \/ Artikel” _builder_version=”4.5.2″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_9″ show_border=”off” admin_label=”Werbung Artikel” _builder_version=”4.5.2″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_blurb title=”Facts” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_blurb_title=”display: inline-block!important;||background: #002754!important;||padding: 5px 13px 3px 13px!important;||position: relative!important;” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#002754″ header_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” header_text_color__hover=”rgba(255,255,255,0.71)”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″]The first phase of the project involves the construction of a 40,000 square metre hall and 110,000 square metres of \u00aduncovered storage space on a 20 hectare building area for China Logistics’ new distribution centre.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Luftaufnahme-JadeWeserPort.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”325px||325px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”150px||150px||false|false”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”roboto-regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#003a7c”]The China Logistics-\u00adWilhelmshaven hub is scheduled to start operations in spring 2021.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″]<\/p>\n
With regard to cargo segments, it is safe to assume that the Chinese will be the first to approach those that function the quickest. Bullwinkel expects that \u201cautomotives, for example, could be implemented relatively quickly.\u201d In this case, the rail connection from Wilhelmshaven could also become a source of interest for China Rail. \u201cStone goods and DIY goods could also be added for transport via ship, as the Chinese are already well connected in this market.\u201d When it comes to food, on the other hand, he believes it could take a little longer. The same applies to chilled goods, for which the Chinese have yet to establish themselves on the European market. China Logistics can rely on the assistance of JadeWeserPort for its sales activities there and in Germany, such as through joint visits to customers. \u201cThe Chinese are very grateful for our knowledge of the market,\u201d according to Bullwinkel. The extent to which the JadeWeserPort is involved here, however, also depends on who will become the operator of the hall. \u201cShould it be a German or European company, we assume that the responsibility for distribution will fall into their hands, but we are happy to get involved if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
At present it is difficult to estimate when and how much additional cargo will be transshipped with the commissioning of the new hub in Wilhelmshaven. It is often not very transparent in the case of sea freight which end customers and forwarding agents are assigned to the respective cargo. However, one thing is certain: \u201cRedistribution of existing cargo tends to be low at 2.5 to 3 percent,\u201d says Bullwinkel. \u201cNevertheless, the players change frequently, and additional quantities are also possible,\u201d Bullwinkel continues. This could especially impact the automotive industry, for instance in the case of electromobility suppliers, through whom additional cargo is brought to the market. Bullwinkel likes to keep a positive outlook:<\/p>\n
\u201cShould the two existing Asian services AE5 and AEU1 be joined by a third one with around 100,000 TEU per year, this would be a good incentive for EUROGATE to commence work on the final expansion stage of the terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no doubt that the China Logistics hub will create new jobs for the Wilhelmshaven location. \u201cWe estimate 50 to 80 industrial employees following completion of the first hall,\u201d Bullwinkel reports. \u201cOnce the hub is fully expanded, up to 250 additional jobs could be created.\u201d Given the fact that Wilhelmshaven has an unemployment rate of around ten percent, which is significantly above the national average, there is no locational disadvantage in this case: \u201cWe have enough qualified employees,\u201d stresses Bullwinkel. In this case, the long-term planning also presents an advantage: \u201cWe are able to notify the employment agency at a very early stage as to which needs with which qualifications are required for the new hub, so that the job centre can start training and further education programmes well in advance.\u201d Since the new jobs and the increased cargo handling in Wilhelmshaven are more than just desired, his conclusion comes across as slightly more emotional than usual for a managing director: \u201cWe feel proud that everything worked out.\u201d (cb)<\/em>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Unterzeichnung-des-Memorandum-JadeWeserPort.jpg” title_text=”Unterzeichnung-des-Memorandum-JadeWeserPort” _builder_version=”4.4.8″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”roboto-regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#003a7c”]Both parties rejoice \u2013 shortly after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in June 2019; front row: Li Xiangyang (CL General Manager) and Andreas Bullwinkel (JWPM); second row: Zhang Shuangyan (EUROGATE), Zhang Hui (JWPM), Wang Jingsong (CCT) and Tong, Laiming (Vice President CCT) as well as Fu Zixuan (CL) and Shi Stephanie (Weifang Centre Germany); third row: J\u00f6rn Kamrad (EUROGATE) and Ingo Meidinger (JWPM)[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_blurb title=”Most read” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”25px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_blurb_title=”display: inline-block!important;||background: #002754!important;||padding: 5px 13px 3px 13px!important;||position: relative!important;” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#002754″ header_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” header_text_color__hover=”rgba(255,255,255,0.71)”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_1″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″ custom_margin=”||0px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” border_color_right=”#ffffff”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_blurb title=”Logistics Pilot” image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LogisticsPilot-Lateinamerika-DE.jpg” icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.5.7″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#002e5b” header_font_size=”21px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.4em” animation=”right” link_option_url=”mailto:marketing@bremenports.de?subject=Logistics%20Pilot%20Printausgabe%20bestellen” link_option_url_new_window=”on” custom_css_blurb_image=”width:100px;||transform: rotate(-10deg);” custom_css_blurb_title=”padding-top:15px;||margin-bottom:-5px;” box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ box_shadow_color_image=”rgba(0,46,91,0.3)” global_module=”50941″ saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Die aktuelle Printausgabe \u2013 [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CHINA.
