On the afternoon of November 8, Ningbo Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University signed a cooperative agreement with Ningbo Modern International Logistics Park, assigning the park as the co-building base for the CEEC International Logistics College.
The college is the first global multi-lateral logistics college based on China's "one belt, one road" initiative and the rapid development of Ningbo Port, and it is initiated by Ningbo Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University and Bialystok University of Technology from Poland, and actively promoted by the related departments of Ningbo Municipal Government. The co-building agreement was signed in June 2015 during the China-CEEC Investment and Trade Expo.
So far, the logistics park has established a high-standard logistics storehouse of 460,000 square meters and a cold-chain storehouse of 150,000 square meters. The warehouse volume reaches 448,000 tons per year, accounting for over 50% of that of Ningbo Port. With an accumulated import and export volume of US$4.5 billion, involving 504 traders, the park was built as a state-level "demonstration zone for well-known brands for port trade service industry".
With the logistics park becoming a co-building base, the logistics college has expanded its Sino-foreign cooperation from education and research to the practical business, and it will provide a powerful "think tank" and talent support for the industrial transformation and upgrading of the logistics park, making it an international bridgehead logistics park in line with Ningbo's status as a world-class port
