A cooperation agreement had been signed between Dalian Port Group, China, and Brazilian LNG Forestry Group to establish a logistics zone in Changxindao Port specifically for Brazilian timber imports, ITTO reported.
The development of a timber logistics industry benefits from favourable conditions and an extensive area of land at Changxindao Port. Currently there are 4 berths at the Port with an annual capacity of 4.5 million tonnes. In addition there are 8 fumigation chambers with a capacity of 1 million cubic metres annually.
According to the agreement a procurement platform, logistics trading venue and overseas forest resources storage area will be jointly built for imported timber from Brazil.
The area involved extends over 500,000 square metres and will support storage, processing, drying, logistics and trading of imported timber at Changxindao Port.
