Maersk building 2.1 lakh square feet warehouse in Chattogram

Danish logistics giant Maersk is building a 210,000 square feet warehouse in Chattogram to expand its capacity. The warehouse has been tailor-made to suit the needs of exporters of retail and lifestyle commodities and should be available by April 2024. In recent times, Bangladesh has seen a slight slowdown in exports owing to the ongoing geopolitical situation that has led to reduced demand for retail and lifestyle goods in the Western markets. With the demand picking up again and limited warehousing capacity in the market, Maersk aims to close the gap between higher demand and shortage of supply through this facility in Chattogram. Maersk and Ispahani Summit Alliance Terminal Limited (ISATL) had first collaborated and entered into an agreement towards the end of 2021 and within a period of 14 months, ISATL provided 200,000 square feet of export custom bonded warehouse to Maersk, according to the press release. Maersk also offers another 100,000 square feet of warehousing space in partnership with Vertex Depot, which was inaugurated earlier in February this year. Maersk also offers another 300,000 sqft of flexible warehousing capacity through local partnerships to customers in case of short-term requirements.
