Global container shipping and logistics group NOL dedicated its new global service center in Chongqing, China recently. Underscoring the international significance of the event, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Chongqing Mayor Huang Qifan helped commemorate the opening of NOL's largest office outside of its Singapore headquarters.
NOL began operating at its Chongqing facility in February in two eight-story office towers at the New North Zone High-Tech Industrial Park near the city's main airport. Known as the APL Global Service Center, it has hired more than 600 people during 2010, mostly graduates from Chongqing area universities.
The center processes trade documentation and performs other functions for NOL's two principal businesses: container shipping line APL and supply chain services provider APL Logistics. It serves the company's offices and customers throughout the world.
