Members of the NEAR Secretariat attended the completion ceremony of the Pohang International Logistics Center Cold-storage Warehouse which was held at Youngilman Port in Pohang city, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province on March 13, 2018. The more than 500 people attended the ceremony, including the mayor of Pohang, representatives of Pohang City Council, and  representatives from domestic and overseas refrigerated and freezer freight distribution and logistics companies.


The new logistics center was built over 49,086㎡ of land, with a total area measuring 16,547㎡. It can accommodate and distribute 13,000 tons of agricultural and marine products such as pepper, onion, garlic, pollack, and squid. In February, the Logistics Center imported 240 tons of onions from Qingdao, China as sample freight which arrived at the port and was repackaged and distributed through the Korean agricultural products market. In the future, there are plans to build more processing factories for agricultural and marine products to be distributed within the domestic market, as well as exported overseas.


At the Eleventh NEAR Working Committee meeting held in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province, China, in September last year, NEAR established the Subcommittee on Logistics and Transportation (Coordinator: Heilongjiang Province) to facilitate logistics in Northeast Asia. In August of this year, NEAR will hold the first Subcommittee of Logistics and Transportation meeting, inviting officers who oversee the logistics fields of the member regional governments and associate companies.
