Freezing in Thailand
Bangkok Cold Storage Service (BCS), a K Line affiliate, and K LINE Container Service (KSCT) are setting up new warehouses in the Bang Na district near Bangkok in Thailand.
Currently, BCS is operating two freezing and refrigerating warehouses in the Thepharak and the Bang Na district, and KCST is running ten dry warehouses in three locations: besides the Bang Na district, the Amata City Chonburi and Bangpra district are also covered.
Now, KSCT has decided to build new warehouses near Bangkok's city centre at Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Laem Chabang Port.
At this stage, these hubs are scheduled to come on stream by May 2023 and December 2022, respectively. With the warehouses located about 30 km from downtown Bangkok and 35 km from the city's port, KCST aims to focus on the e-commerce market. (sh)
