Nanchang (China) to focus on logistics development
Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province in southeastern China, has devised a development plan for its local logistics industry, covering the period between now and 2020, Xinhua reports.
The plan calls for logistics development to take place in three stages. The first will last until 2010 and focus on the government enacting policy to support the emerging logistics industry. The second, running from 2010 to 2015, will be marked by a period of maturity for industry and the third is expected to see the local logistics industry take off.
Over the next 13 years, Nanchang will build three logistics hubs in the province's north, south and southwestern regions.
The northern hub will be the most important, located near Changbei International Airport, the city's cargo railway north station, the Nanchang International Container Terminal and the expressway network.
The Nanchang government also plans to co-operate with coastal cities on developing sea-rail intermodal transport systems to facilitate trade growth and lower transportation costs for local shippers.
