 &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Logistics&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;Park&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; has received investment of 4 million USD. 15 investors
have already begun to operate in the BLP. Within the period of 3/21 to 5/25 the volume
freight moving through the warehouses reached 400,00 metric tons, or 3 hundred
million USD worth of freight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;With the implementation of &amp;ldquo;QuGangLianDong&amp;rdquo;
the Zhangjiagang bonded logistics park has attracted many local and foreign
investors. The so called &amp;ldquo;qugangliandong&amp;rdquo; is a government policy which enables
the cooperation between the bonded zones and the nearby ports. BLPs are
designed to further improve the environment for both foreign-invested and
domestic enterprises and promote the development of local regional economies by
offering better logistics and ocean freight services. BLPs are a combination of bonded land and international port. (see
previous blogposts) &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

million USD in the Zhangjiagang BLP. A local Chinese logistics company ww.mtos-china.com invested about
