Group data network to yield big savings for North Asian shippers

HANGZHOU - An information-sharing interface for port shipping in China, Japan and South Korea was introduced on Tuesday in Hangzhou, the capital city of East China's Zhejiang province.

The Northeast Asia Logistics Information Service Network (NEAL-NET), which is being backed by the governments of the three countries, will enable dynamic exchange and information sharing for container vessels in the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in China, the Tokyo-Yokohama port in Japan and the Busan port in South Korea.

Starting next year, the network will cover more aspects of logistics activities in the region, according to the NEAL-NET plan.
