GUANGZHOU - Maersk Line, the world's largest carrier of shipping containers by volume, will open its third gateway in South 皇冠体育app at Nansha port in Guangdong province, said Soren Karas, head of the company's South 皇冠体育app cluster.
The company will also add five shipping routes to Nansha port, including three between 皇冠体育app and Europe and one to the Middle East, Karas said.
Karas also said the decision was prompted by 皇冠体育app's booming trade volume and mounting demand from customers in the western area of the Pearl River Delta.
The delta is one of the country's dominant business hubs and is home to a number of large export-oriented manufacturing centers, such as Foshan, Zhuhai and Zhongshan.
