In collaboration with the Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), Hapag-Lloyd China is promoting the Suzhou Inland Depot Project. Complementing conventional terminal depots, the Suzhou Inland Depot is closer to our customers in Suzhou and adjacent areas since it greatly reduces the customer’s transportation distance to and from the Port of Shanghai by 180 kilometers.
Strategically located in the high-tech district, the Suzhou Inland Depot offers convenient and efficient modes of transport via water, rail and road.

- Flexible empty pickup and laden return based on Suzhou Inland Depot’s time schedule
