In 2021, the world's top 50 ports in cargo throughput, China occupies 28 seats, the Yangtze River Delta ports took 10 seats, of which Ningbo Zhoushan Port topped the list for 13 years.
Nowadays, the route between Ningbo Zhoushan Port, the world's largest port in terms of cargo throughput, and Shanghai Port, the largest port in terms of container throughput, is getting busier and busier.
The 'Taishang Express', a fast sea route between Jiangsu Taicang Port and Shanghai Port, with 25 operating vessels like a sea bus, connects the special water route between Jiangsu Taicang Port and Shanghai Port, with a barge every 0.6 hours.
However, in order to create a 'world throughput' of the Yangtze River Delta port cluster, the Yangtze River Delta people are not satisfied with the interconnection between the routes.
The Shanghai-Taipei port is the same, and things flow smoothly. As early as November 2020, Shanghai-Taipei customs clearance integration operation has been fully implemented, cargo import and export through Taicang port and Yangshan port, can realize one declaration, one inspection, one release, this is called 'linkage receiving and unloading' supervision mode, so that the container cargo customs clearance time per ticket to save an average of 20 hours.
The word 'integration', the core is to break the geographical division and administrative barriers to the restrictions. With the joint efforts of all parties, Jiangsu Taicang Port has become the only river port in China that enjoys the management of seaport. 2021, the container throughput here jumped to the 25th place in the world, and the growth rate ranked the first among the top 100 ports in the world.
Wuhu, Anhui Province, the person in charge of the warehouse of an enterprise is busy loading goods to be sent to Wuhu Port. In previous years, during the peak sales season, finding trucks for transportation was the biggest headache for local enterprises. The warehouse sends an average of 40,000 containers every year, which used to be transported by road to the Shanghai Yangshan Port 400 kilometers away and then loaded on the ship to the sea.
But now, more than 20 kilometers away from the warehouse between Wuhu Port and Shanghai Port, opened a direct 'five set liner', the original 7 days of water transport shortened to 3 days, the linkage pick-up and discharge mode is also in operation in 2021.
Regional integration, with the real feeling of saving time, money and heart, allows enterprises to run lightly and quickly.
In 2021, the cargo throughput of Yangtze River Delta port group will reach 100 million TEU, accounting for more than 40% of the country.
