Focus on resource endowment and build a new trend of open and linkage development
In the early morning of April 22, when the first rays of spring sunshine sprinkled on the river, Zhengpu Port, the "first port" on the north bank of the Anhui River, was already a busy scene. The huge gantry crane lifts and moves efficiently, and the shipping ships full of containers shuttle back and forth, and batches of goods start the journey of "drifting across the ocean" from here and send them to all parts of the country at home and abroad.
"There are six gantry cranes in operation this morning, and a few more may be added as the volume of freight increases in the afternoon. We will allocate personnel and equipment according to the order volume of the day every day to ensure the smooth loading and unloading of goods at the port 24 hours a day. Xu Zheng, manager of the production department of Anhui Zhengpu Port Co., Ltd., said.
At the same time as the wharf is "full of firepower", Anhui Feiyuan International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., 3 kilometers away, is in the process of warehousing and deployment, boxes of alfalfa forage transported from the United States are registered and stored one by one, and the assembled white goods are "ready to go", ready to "ride" container trucks to the Zhengpugang wharf yard.
"In addition to traditional transportation, the company also provides customers with warehousing and escrow services, which is also an important way to extend the industrial chain and improve user stickiness. Taking white goods as an example, at the peak, more than 30,000 square meters of warehouses are full of household appliances, and then relying on the company's intelligent warehouse management system, all goods are centrally controlled by scanning codes and entrances and exits. Xing Liang, general manager of Anhui Feiyuan International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., said.
Relying on the location advantages of Zhengpugang New Area, under the guidance of digital empowerment, the signboard of "Feiyuan Logistics" is getting brighter and brighter. In 2023, Anhui Feiyuan International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. will achieve 11,000 vehicles entering and exiting the bayonet in Ma'anshan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, with a total import and export volume of 210 million US dollars and an inbound and outbound container throughput of 40,000 TEUs. "With the continuous application of new digital technologies, the market has become more and more recognized, and the company plans to achieve a total import and export volume of US$450 million in the CBZ in 2024. Xing Liang is full of confidence in the future development of "Feiyuan Logistics".
"Improving the logistics function of Zhengpu Port and other ports, vigorously developing multimodal transport, and promoting logistics cost reduction, quality and efficiency" is the development goal clearly put forward in the work report of the provincial government. Based on the resource endowment of the "first port" on the north bank of the Anhui River, Zhengpugang New Area anchors the "big port, big logistics, and big foreign trade" and continues to make efforts, and makes every effort to build an integrated port economic zone of "port + shipping + industry + market", focuses on building a "bonded port area", accelerates the docking with the Nanjing metropolitan area, and strives to build a "10,000-ton deep-water port on the north bank of the Yangtze River" in the Nanjing metropolitan area, so as to help build a golden waterway in the metropolitan area.
In recent years, the port capacity of Zhengpu Port has been continuously improved, the cargo throughput has continued to grow, and the shipping turnover capacity has been continuously enhanced. Since the beginning of this year, Zhengpu Port Terminal has achieved a throughput of 689,900 tons, including a container throughput of 25,700 TEUs. The freight volume of the Zhengpu Port Railway Special Line is 215,000 tons.
"We are relying on the five major platforms of Ma'anshan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, port, cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone, free trade linkage innovation zone, and meat port to attract a number of logistics industry projects and make every effort to do a good job in 'modern logistics'. Liu Weijing, director of the Zhengpugang New Area Free Trade Opening Linkage Bureau, said that in the future, port logistics and multimodal transport will be the core, and efforts will be made to build a logistics industry agglomeration area with outstanding advantages and distinctive characteristics, and strive to build a logistics hub center in the Nanjing metropolitan area.

Nowadays, with the prominence of location advantages, the improvement of living facilities, and the optimization of the business environment, the exchanges between Zhengpugang New Area and the Nanjing metropolitan area will be more frequent, exchanges will be closer, and cooperation will be deeper. It is built by the river and rises to the sea. Zhengpugang New Area will continue to write a wonderful chapter of deep integration into the high-quality development of Nanjing metropolitan area with the attitude of striving for the first place and the fighting spirit of running and fighting.
