A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) has celebrated the opening of its flagship logistics centre in Shanghai’s Lin-gang area, marking one of the company’s largest global warehousing investments.

The $140 million warehouse spans 113,000 square metres, offering 147,000 square metres of storage.

The centre provides a full suite of fulfilment services, supporting customers across China, the Asia-Pacific region, and beyond, and aims to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and resilience in trade operations.

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc said: “China is not only the world’s largest exporter but also a key consumer market; this centre strengthens our omnichannel fulfilment capabilities and further connects China with international markets.”

The opening ceremony was attended by local government officials, Maersk executives, and customers, highlighting the strategic importance of the facility.

Leveraging Shanghai’s position as a global shipping hub and its proximity to Yangshan Port, the logistics centre integrates seamlessly with Maersk’s ocean, air, and land services; this scale-driven network enables faster, more cost-effective solutions.

The facility offers four core capabilities: export and import distribution, regional/global hub services, and cross-border e-commerce, along with value-added services such as temperature-controlled storage and customised solutions.

With in-house customs expertise and Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification, the centre provides efficient clearance for international shipments; it can handle bonded and non-bonded goods under one roof, allowing storage and conversion without additional customs processing.

Maersk Greater China Managing Director Silvia Ding said: “Brands increasingly require unified inventory management across export, import, and transhipment; our omnichannel fulfilment capabilities now allow customers to efficiently meet both B2B and B2C demands.”
