Lingang Group expands its deepsea activities

The Chinese Lingang Group, a developer of industrial parks, has started the construction of a 76,000 m² logistics platform in the port of Zeebrugge.

Lingang Group aims to serve all plays in the European import and export business, across all Continents. In addition to the CSP Zeebrugge Terminal the port now has all the assets to further expand deep-sea activities and anchor them in Zeebrugge.

The site, which will be divided into 10 units each with 10 loading and unloading docks and turnkey office facilities, is one of the largest logistics projects in West Flanders.

It will also include a 22,000 m² container yard, an access building with offices, parking space for 200 cars, a waiting area and a drop-off zone for trucks. For this logistics project, Lingang will cooperate with Chinese container operator Cosco Shipping Ports (CSP). Cosco acquired the APM deep-sea container terminal in Zeebrugge in 2017 with the aim of developing it into a Northern European hub.

The group was looking for a port with sufficient capacity, good maritime accessibility, high productivity and a favourable location in relation to markets to invest in.
