SINGAPORE and BEIJING, CHINA, October 8, 2008 – BDP Project Logistics today announced the opening of a dedicated office in Beijing.

BDP Projects Logistics, headquartered in Singapore, is a subsidiary of BDP International, (BDP) one of the world's leading privately-held freight logistics/transportation management firms. The Projects company was established to tackle jobs that are so difficult, so large in scale and complexity that only a specialized team of experts could attempt them.

The office is the second BDP Projects Logistics office in China, following the establishment of the Shanghai office in January this year. According to Peter Huels, CEO of BDP Global Projects Logistics, the new Beijing office will offer a full suite of services to companies that need specialist skills for difficult jobs.

"China has many large and complex projects on the drawing board in areas such as construction, mining, power, oil, natural gas and chemical industries," Huels said. "In addition a growing number of Chinese firms are successfully bidding for large scale projects in other emerging markets such as Africa and the Middle East.

BDP has a long established reputation for doing difficult things well. To be able to complete these jobs we built a team in both Beijing and Shanghai that think outside the traditional rules and find solutions where initially there does not appear to be one."

"Under the leadership of Mr. Jon Leong, the Beijing office will seek to work with Chinese state owned enterprises, the majority of which are located in the nation’s capital city," Mr. Huels concluded.
BDP Project Logistics in China currently consists of 10 specialists with expertise in heavy-lift handling, break-bulk and dry bulk shipments as well as customs regulation compliance.
