With the specific implementation of China’s “One Belt, One Road” development strategy, more real economies have been developed along the route, and many large-scale projects have landed in countries along the route. Therefore, the construction of “One Belt, One Road” logistics channels is becoming more and more important. Among them, project logistics is the most important thing, and when export goods from China to countries such as Vietnam/Indonesia/Philippines, we often hear “project goods”. Today, Focus Global Logistics will take you to understand project logistics and project goods.

What is project cargo?

Project logistics, which takes large-scale projects as the main service object, uses the logistics distribution network and social resources of modern logistics enterprises to carry out multimodal transport, freight forwarding, import and export declarations and other businesses on a global scale, and the goods transported in it are project cargo.

Project logistics has the following characteristics

1. The purpose of project logistics is to serve the project. When the project ends, the project logistics also ends;
