Nigeria is not only the largest oil producing and exporting country in Africa, but also the largest economy in West Africa. However, the development of logistics infrastructure such as roads, docks and vehicles lags behind, resulting in the continuous deterioration of port and road conditions and the sluggish efficiency of goods import and export, resulting in a sharp increase in engineering and trade costs, which brings great challenges to customers engaged in investment, contracting projects and trade between China and Nigeria.

In order to implement the national plan to adjust the transportation structure, implement the "the Belt and Road" initiative, and ensure the stability and smoothness of the international logistics supply chain, on the afternoon of September 18, the 2020 China Nigeria logistics special line exchange seminar was held in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province. Representatives of more than 20 core member units and special line customers from the China Nigeria logistics special line platform gathered together to discuss the standardized service mode of the China Nigeria logistics special line, To further improve the service capacity of China Nepal logistics special line and help the vigorous development of engineering logistics and trade business between China and Nepal.

The seminar was presided over by Li Zhanzhu, general manager of Sinoma Ningrui (Shanghai) International Logistics Co., Ltd. Zhu Libo, deputy general manager of Dongfang port branch of Jiangsu Lianyungang Port Co., Ltd., delivered a speech. Zhu Libo said that ensuring the smooth flow of international freight is the common goal of all logistics people. The China Nepal logistics special line should continue to give full play to its own advantages, further play its joint role, form the influence and competitiveness of the special line, and provide customers with high-quality China Nepal logistics service in the whole process.

It is reported that this meeting is the third exchange seminar held since the establishment of the China Nepal logistics special line. During the meeting, representatives of enterprises of China Nepal logistics special line platform had a full exchange and discussion.

Lin Feng, deputy general manager of Luojing branch of Shanghai international port (Group) Co., Ltd., said that the opening of China Nepal logistics special line has provided strong support for the development of trade between China and West Africa, and the growth of trade volume has also driven the growth of throughput of Shanghai port. The positioning of China Nepal logistics special line is clear, and the participation of high-quality enterprise partners will further improve the transportation capacity of China Nepal logistics special line. Our port will also stick to its position and overcome difficulties with you.

Huang Ping, chairman of Sinoma Ningrui (Shanghai) International Logistics Co., Ltd., said that today‘s era is an interconnected era, and it is difficult to travel alone. Only by moving forward together, using routes, whale logistics network, ports, motorcades, etc., can we build a new world by connecting the broad markets of China and Nepal. We should give full play to the advantages of China Nigeria logistics special line in logistics time, service quality, information communication and customer experience to form the influence and competitiveness of the special line. By optimizing the mode of China Nigeria logistics special line, we should deeply practice the "door-to-door" and "point-to-point" logistics modes, solve the problems of low loading and unloading efficiency and "the last kilometer" in Nigeria, and help the vigorous development of engineering logistics and trade business between China and Nigeria.

The purpose of this project is to strengthen the cooperation between Chinese and Nigerian port logistics companies, Nigerian port logistics companies and Nigerian logistics companies in the whole process, and actively provide win-win cooperation with Chinese and Nigerian port logistics companies. Through ten special line products such as port tally, marine loading and unloading, barge reshipment and automobile loading, a complete logistics platform industrial chain is formed to provide accurate services and broaden platform marketing and promotion channels, so as to promote the development of China Nepal engineering and trade.
