Plastics solutions provider, Borouge, has awarded a service contract to Agility PJSC to build the Borouge Compound Manufacturing Unit (CMU) and Shanghai Logistics Hub in Shanghai, China, and to provide local logistics services for Borouge's customers in Asia for a period of ten years with effect from its operational start-up date in 2010.
Following the contract win, Agility will undertake the design, development and subsequent operation of the logistics hub, to ensure sufficient infrastructure, storage facilities, packaging and distribution services to accommodate Borouge's products dispatched from Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
Agility will handle and distribute a total volume of approximately 600 kilotonnes of polyolefins out of the Shanghai logistics hub every year. With the ongoing Borouge 2 project expansion, this capacity will increase to 2 million tonnes per year by the middle of 2010 and will add polypropylene to the product mix.
According to Abdulaziz Alhajri, CEO of Borouge's Abu Dhabi Polymers, the Shanghai logistics hub is one of several regional logistics hubs that will provide storage and logistics support for the company's operations close to its customers.
