Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), the global RoRo shipping and factory-to-dealer logistics specialist, started operations in January 2015 of their third Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) in China. It is located in the Dongjiang free trade zone of Tianjin port, which as the second largest vehicle import & export port is an important gateway to Beijing and Northern China.
The Dongjiang VPC complements WWL’s existing VPC’s in Shanghai and Guangzhou. With this additional, third VPC, customers can now benefit from WWL quality vehicle processing at the three major Chinese automotive ports. This enhanced network will enable the company to offer customers tailored outbound logistics solutions in China for both import and export, starting from optimized local logistics solutions up to integrated factory-to dealer solutions for national coverage and will help customers to reduce costs and shorten their time to market.
The Tianjin port has two RoRo terminals allowing for efficient loading and discharge from vessels. Additionally, its location within the bonded port of Dongjiang free trade zone comes with another monetary benefit, as customers can withhold duty payments until their product leaves the free trade zone, improving their cash flow.
The fully operational VPC has been specifically designed to accommodate both cars and trucks and is able to provide the following services:
It has a yard with total storage capacity of 140,000 sqm (expandable if required) and a workshop covering 6,000 sqm for PDI/ Washing/ Repair with high doors enabling trucks to enter, 940m2 office space for both staff and customers, as well as full security and lightning.
