Port data all the way to good new energy vehicles into export "dark horses"

During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, the cold tide crossed, the temperature plummeted, and Guangdong ushered in the coldest Spring Festival holiday in 10 years, but the ports in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were hotter than in previous years. When the Shanghai Securities News reporter interviewed at the port terminals in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, he saw that the shore bridges in the major port areas were lined up, the loading and unloading of containers was orderly, and the traffic between cars and ships was weaving, which was busy.

Behind the busy port terminal is the real flow of import and export goods in South China. "In the first week after the Spring Festival, we have scheduled more than 50 foreign trade liners and 29 domestic trade liners. Judging from the current trend of ship schedule and operation box volume, it is foreseeable that the port situation in the first quarter is all the way good, and the throughput is worth looking forward to. Zhang Shaohong, deputy manager of the planning office of the operation department of the container terminal of Guangzhou Nansha Seaport, said.

Port production is a welcome start

On February 7, the first working day after the Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger, all the employees of Yantian International took their places, and the number of staff in the closed-loop management area reached 1,300.

Foreign port congestion superimposed on the Spring Festival hoarding exports, yantian port international terminal located in the east of Shenzhen has experienced an unusually busy Spring Festival. On the eve of the Spring Festival, Yantian International ushered in a new wave of dense docking of large ships, and the port area reproduced the grand situation of berths full of giant ships. In order to avoid traffic jams around it, Yantian International has taken a series of positive and effective measures to continuously improve the density of the yard. During the Spring Festival, a large number of port employees gave up their reunions with their families, stuck to their posts, and made every effort to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and port production "double coordination" under the close full load of the terminal yard, so as to maintain the smooth import and export of foreign trade in the Greater Bay Area.

Shekou Container Terminal (SCT), Chiwan Container Terminal (CCT) and Mawan Container Terminal (MCT) in western Shenzhen are also busy. The reporter saw at the Mawan Smart Port Terminal that the remote control quay bridge driver of the intelligent operation center of the dock operated the boom, grabbed the container from the ship, and accurately landed on the automatic driving collection truck. The autonomous intelligent trailer drives to the yard according to the system planning route, and the "automated track crane" equipment completes the yard packing operation...

According to the two major port areas in Shenzhen, during the Spring Festival (February 1 to February 6), China Merchants West Port Area completed a total of 125 ship services with a throughput of nearly 190,000 TEUs; Yantian Port Area completed more than 50 ship services with a throughput of nearly 210,000 TEUs.

Guangzhou Port is also happy to welcome the "opening of the door". In January this year, the third phase of The Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port completed a container throughput of 520,000 TEUs, of which foreign trade completed 220,000 TEUs, an increase of 69% year-on-year, once again refreshing the historical record of single-month foreign trade container throughput since the opening of the port. Zhang Shaohong said that Nansha Port has started the rhythm of busy pre-holiday production since early January, which lasted until the Spring Festival holiday and is expected to continue until the end of February. "Our domestic and foreign trade production in the terminal has been maintained 365 days a year, and the operation service is not closed."

It is understood that during the Spring Festival holiday, the first and second phases of the Nansha Port Area completed a total of 182 domestic and foreign trade ships, and the container throughput reached 125,500 TEUs.

Exports of new energy vehicles are strong

"Although I didn't go home for the New Year, I was very happy to see the huge ships coming and going on the docks and the goods coming and going." The staff of Shenzhen Shekou Container Terminal told reporters that because "the port is busy and trade is booming", behind it is the trend of China's economy and the import and export situation in South China.

"At the beginning of each year, we will conduct a thorough survey and prejudgment of the resumption of work and production of production enterprises and trading companies in the Pearl River Delta, and then communicate and coordinate with domestic and foreign trade liner companies and barge companies to predict the production situation and operation situation before and after the festival." Judging from the current trend of ship schedule and operation box volume, it is foreseeable that the port situation in the first quarter of this year is all the way to good, and the throughput is worth looking forward to. Zhang Shaohong said.

Since January, the operation docks in the Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port have been fully utilized, integrating the operational resources of domestic and foreign trade, especially the large mechanical drivers, internal tow drivers and on-site management and command personnel for on-site operations, working overtime and going all out to cope with the production situation before and after the festival.

According to the reporter's understanding, from the perspective of export categories, Guangzhou's new energy vehicles and Shenzhen's cross-border e-commerce have become "dark horses" on the foreign trade track. It is understood that Guangzhou Port exported nearly 14,000 foreign trade automobiles in January, a record high. After hitting a record high in 2021, the import and export value of Cross-border E-commerce in Shenzhen will continue to maintain its growth momentum in 2022.

Affected by multiple factors such as the rapid development of the domestic new energy automobile industry, domestic vehicle exports ushered in a golden period of development. In 2021, on the basis of the original domestic trade and parallel import business, Guangzhou Port Nansha Automobile Port will continue to expand new customers, add foreign trade export brands such as Geely, Changan, BYD, Trumpchi, etc., and expand the vehicle rail-sea intermodal transport business, and at the same time introduce NYK, MOL, Anji Shipping and other shipping companies to open 6 foreign trade ro-ro routes in Nansha, such as the Middle East, Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, Central and North America, driving Guangzhou Port Group to complete 105,000 ro-ro exports throughout the year, an increase of 162.5% year-on-year.

According to reports, Guangzhou Port is the main carrier of Guangzhou's construction of an automobile international trade center, and has now been completed and put into operation 5 professional ro-ro berths of more than 10,000 tons. After the completion and operation of two 70,000-ton Ro-Ro berths at the Jinyang Wharf in 2022, the Nansha Automobile Port will form the largest Ro-Ro dock cluster in China with 7 ro-ro cars of more than 10,000 tons, a 1.8-kilometer dock shoreline, and a nearly 1.6 million-square-meter commodity vehicle yard. With the continuous upgrading of the terminal capacity, Guangzhou Port is gradually growing into a major channel for cars to go to sea serving the Greater Bay Area and the surrounding hinterland and connecting the world.
