To
contribute to the rapid economic development in China,
Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited invested in Beijing
JingJin Port International Logistics Co. Ltd. in June
2009, to develop Mafang Logistics Park in Pinggu, Beijing
with the other shareholders which include: Tianjin LuGang
Logistics Co. Ltd, a subsidiary of the Tianjin Port
Group, Beijing Mafang Infrastructure Development Co.
Ltd under Pinggu district government, and Beijing LuGang
International Logistics Co. Ltd. under Beijing Holdings.
The Park will provide a comprehensive range of electronic
informative services for merchandise, retail, distribution,
import/export trade, logistics and finance with the
ultimate objective of accelerating the trade and logistics
development of the Mafang Logistics Park.
Mafang
Logistics Park Offers an Expeditious Customs Clearance
Operation Model for Enterprises
Mafang Logistics Park situated at the inter-section
of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province, is set to be
one of the important routes of the Beijing-Tianjin Development
Corridor due to its strategic geographical location.
As the most superior "waterless port" of the Tianjin
Port at northern China, Mafang Logistics Park is expected
to become an extension of Tianjin Port and Tianjin Dongjiang
Free Trade Port Zone in Beijing, speeding up the customs
clearance and reducing the logistic cost for the Beijing
enterprises. The goods to be off-loaded in Tianjin port
can be cleared by Customs in Pinggu in a one-stop manner
(one submission-one check point- one release). Import/export
enterprises located in the eastern Beijing can use the
Park as the cargo transit hub shortening their cargo
transportation routes by 10%-25% in terms of distance
as compared with the current route.
Enhancing
Competitive Edge of Mafang with the Establishment of
Type B Bonded Logistics Centre
In order to speed up the development of Mafang Logistics
Park, Beijing government has endorsed the set up of
a Type B Bonded Logistics Centre in Pinggu, and rendered
its support of Beijing JingJin Port International Logistics
Co. Ltd. to apply to the Customs for its operation.
The Type B Bonded Logistics Centre features a comprehensive
range of services including bonded warehousing, international
logistics distribution, processing trade and value-added
services, import, export and re-export trade, port function
and logistics information processing and enquiry services,
etc. The establishment of Type B Bonded Logistics Centre
will enhance the functions and competitive edge of Mafang
Logistics Park.
Tradelink
Provides Advanced IT Infrastructure to Support the Logistics
Park Operations
To enhance the operation efficiency of the Park, Tradelink
will develop an IT infrastructure for use in the Park.
The IT system will provide functions including bonded
warehouse management and container yard management with
auxiliary support functions such as import / export
port cargoes track and trace system in meeting the operation
and information requirements of the Park. Tradelink
will also incorporate the Digital Trade and Transportation
Network ("DTTN") functions in this Mafang Logistics
Park IT platform, enhancing the core competitiveness
of the Logistics Park and facilitating the exchange
of electronic documents between the customers and their
business partners; and as a result boosting the awareness
and usage of DTTN in the Mainland.
The development of Mafang Logistics
Park infrastructure has been completed. It is planned
that the Customs and CIQ authorities will move in the
Part to start operation by end of 2009. Leverage on
this strategic investment in Pinggu as the "waterless
port" connecting Beijing and the Tianjin Port, Tradelink
will introduce its quality e-commerce solutions to a
massive customer base in the Mainland enhancing the
efficiency and productivity of the industry, as well
as promoting local e-commerce development. |
