Chongqing Donggang box shop to open before 2011

DONGGANG Container Terminal, jointly invested by Shanghai International Port Group and government of Chongqing's Nanan District, is expected to be up and running by the end of this year, Xinhua reports.

The two have spent CNY2.4 billion (US$360.5 million) on the first phase of the terminal, which will have four 3,000-tonne multi-use berths and one ro-ro berth for 60 vehicles.

By 2020, the other 10 berths will be added to the terminal, bringing its total capacity to 1.3 million TEU and 200,000 ro-ro vehicles.

Nanan District also signed cooperation deal in January with a Hubei company where the latter agreed to invest on warehousing and processing facilities at the Donggang port area. These facilities are expected to contribute to a more comprehensive spectrum of services offered at port area.
