Port of Nansha offering 30-days of free storage for North America bound containers

This proactive initiative enables customers to ensure their Supply Chains stay fluid during this critical time.

The Port of Nansha, positioned on the west bank of the Pearl River Delta in south China, is offering to extend the free storage period to 30-days for containers laden with general cargo for export to North America from May 15, 2025, to July 31, 2025. [The offer does not apply to any shipments with dangerous goods, refrigerated shipments, and out-of-gauge freight.]

The Port of Nansha, part of the Guangzhou Port Group (6th Largest Port Globally), is the only deepwater container terminal on the west side of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. And being one of the largest ports – handling over 20 million TEUs in 2024 – in the booming south China region, the Port of Nansha serves as a key link in the supply chain for high profile manufacturing companies like Midea, Homa, GE, Electrolux, Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes, Whirlpool, K&N, OEC, XBMC…etc.

For beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) port diversification was very successful during the COVID-19 pandemic, as not everything could go through one gateway in the US. The same strategy now applies to cargo at the point of origin — and the Port of Nansha is the solution especially if you have vendors on the Western Side of the Pearl River Delta.

Vendors have also found the intermodal connections to Nansha a plus: the on-the-dock-rail and intermodal volumes have surged over 400% both lowering landside costs while reducing their carbon footprint. And for BCOs, who conducted a Vendor Utilization Study enables the BCO to see where the vendors are located and utilize their siting proximity to save time and money.
