DHL + QFZ launch distribution facility:<\/strong> Qatar Freezones Authority (QFZ) and logistics giant DHL\u2019s forwarding arm DHL Global Forwarding have inaugurated a new 1.2k sqm logistics facility at Ras Bufontas Freezone, according to a statement<\/a>. The facility, near Hamad International Airport, aims to enhance operational efficiency and multimodal transport. The investment ticket has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in store? <\/strong>The facility will function as a distribution warehouse for consolidation services within regional and global distribution networks for the GCC-Africa corridors. It aims to provide air freight, sea, and land logistics services as well as marine shipping agent operations, warehousing, and customs clearance. <\/p>\n

Recent moves in Ras Bufontas:<\/strong> QFZ inked an agreement with Qatar Airways earlier this<\/a>month<\/a> to establish a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) complex in Ras Bufontas Freezone and a duty-exempt corridor linking the zone to Hamad International Airport and Hamad Port. QFZ and FedEx launched a 1.2k sqm logistics facility at Ras Bufontas in September<\/a> that includes warehousing, storage, and office spaces. QFZ and logistics solutions provider Bin Yousef Cargo inaugurated a storage facility at Ras Bufontas Freezone in September<\/a>. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- DHL is expanding its footprint: <\/strong>The firm is looking to invest upwards of EUR<\/a>300 mn (c. USD 349 mn)<\/a> in warehouses and infrastructure within the continent. The goal is to capitalize on rising demand across the e-commerce and renewable energy sectors in Africa. A DHL and Saudi Aramco JV is also reportedly shopping for investors<\/a> to back a USD 267 mn distribution center project in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
