The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Superior Products International Distribution Center will be constructed by TOP Ideal SCM and world shipping giant Maersk Damco. The project will cover the construction of smart multi-function warehouses and foreign trade customs clearance service systems.

According to Gu, two main reasons lead to their decision to settle the project in Nansha district. One is the district's favorable geographic location which enables the shipping and logistics business to impose a positive influence on the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries. Preferential policies launched by Nansha district in order to stimulate the logistics industry was the other reason.
