Authorities in Ningbo plan to build a cold storage logistics centre in Jinzhou district to ease a shortage of specialised warehouse space, Xinhua reports.

The facility will cover an area measuring 2,200 square metres and will boast a cold storage capacity of 50,000 tons, making it the largest cold storage logistics facility in eastern Zhejiang.

The logistics centre will be located within about a 30-minute drive from central Ningbo, and will handle cargo from the neighbouring Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Jinhua.
