Plywood managed by Shandong Port Land-sea International Logistics Group was successfully unloaded at Shandong Port Group's (SPG) Rizhao distribution center for consumer goods in North China, marking the official launch of the facility's Phase I.

Phase I of the distribution center comprises a 9,969.5-square-meter flat-layer warehouse and a 6,384-square-meter dismantling and assembling container warehouse, all boasting strong fire resistance, along with essential infrastructure like fire-water ponds and fire-pump rooms. Leveraging advantages in intermodal train services, network freight transportation, and bonded warehousing, the project aims to provide comprehensive logistics services such as aggregation and distribution of daily necessities for import and export customers. It strives to become the largest and most comprehensive logistics distribution center and logistics bonded center in the southeastern region of Shandong province.

To ensure the project operates and starts production on schedule, since the commencement of construction on Oct 17, 2023, Shandong Port Land-sea International Logistics Group has collaborated closely with all sides, including Shandong Harbor Engineering Group, design units, supervision units, and construction units, accelerating the progress of high-quality construction on the project and ensuring its completion and approval.

SPG's distribution centers for consumer goods in North China have officially commenced operations in Jinan, Qingdao, and Rizhao, promoting integration among the three regions, strengthening collaborative partnerships, and supporting local economic development.
