Optimize the service mode and shorten the waiting time for berthing
At 00:00 on March 24, 2023, with a little starlight, the ship 'Oriental Spain' with the maximum capacity of 24,188 TEU slowly entered the port pool of Guangzhou Nansha Port, and the pilot of Guangzhou Port commanded the four high-powered tugs to steadily berth the ship at berth eight of Nansha Container Terminal.

At the same time, establish and improve the direct communication mechanism with terminals, agents and other parties, track and implement the progress of completion of export ships, and use information technology to monitor the ship position in real time. Guangzhou port pilotage station newly built two high-speed pilot traffic vessels to ensure that pilots on time on board all-weather pilotage, to achieve the Nansha container ship pilotage service 'zero wait'.
Intelligent digital empowerment of port and navigation innovation transformation
Nansha Port Area Phase IV automated terminal is empty, an unmanned IGV vehicle with Beidou navigation system is shuttling back and forth to achieve precise docking with containers, as the 'Guangzhou scheme' of fully automated container terminal, the main body of Nansha Port Area Phase IV project has been completed, and the remaining finishing and dredging construction is being carried out, synchronized with It will play an active role in promoting high-quality cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and building a high-level gateway hub for opening up to the outside world.
At present, the civil construction of the third phase of the automated yard in Nansha Port Area has been completed and accepted, forming an automated yard cluster with an annual container throughput capacity of 2.97 million TEU with the first and second phase of the yard. Guangzhou Port Container Intelligent Cargo Center has been set up, and Guangzhou Port Foreign Shipping & Forwarding Company has developed a number of technologies such as remote video cargo management of traditional container terminal shore bridge, automatic container number OCR identification technology, intelligent cargo management of gantry crane containers, 'ground-air integration' AI+OCR identification and automatic box loss identification, which has pioneered It has pioneered intelligent cargo management in the industry and provided strong technical support for multiple loading and unloading at the terminal.
Recently, COSCO Shipping special transport successfully issued the first electronic bill of lading for pulp COA customers - a major breakthrough in the non-container field of global shipping based on blockchain technology electronic bill of lading.
