Seaport Properties

The vast majority of world trade occurs by sea. Most goods manufactured in Asia today are delivered to western consumer markets via super-size cargo vessels, the largest of which can carry more than 14,000 20-foot containers. In fact, modern containerized shipping has been a key enabler of the broader trend toward globalization, due to the incredible efficiencies it delivers in the area of cargo transport.

A strong presence at leading seaports around the world is a key competitive advantage for any industrial warehouse company, as well as for the customers it serves. Over the past several years, ProLogis has built one of the world’s strongest positions in port-related real estate. Today, the company operates more than 100 million square feet of high-quality distribution space serving ports in North America, Asia and Europe. That’s about 25 percent of ProLogis’ entire industrial portfolio.
