In the past decade, the import and export volume of China’s goods trade has reached record highs, and China has become the largest country in the world’s goods trade. Port throughput is an important index to measure port transportation capacity. In 2021, the cargo throughput of Shandong Port Group exceeded 1.5 billion tons, ranking first in the world.
Unmanned intelligent traditional wharf realizes intelligent upgrade.
In Qingdao Port of Shandong Port Group, between the blue sky and the blue sea, the production operations of docks and yards are flowing, and unmanned container trucks shuttle in an orderly manner. In June this year, the highest single-machine operation efficiency of this automatic terminal bridge crane reached 67.76 natural boxes per hour, setting a new world record for the loading and unloading efficiency of the automatic terminal for the ninth time. Ten years ago, operators had to climb a bridge nearly 50 meters high to carry out their operations, and loading and unloading were entirely manual.
In the past ten years, on the 3345-kilometer winding coastline of Shandong Port, one terminal after another has been intelligently upgraded, mechanized and intellectualized, which has greatly reduced the labor intensity of drivers and improved the working environment; The number of inspection personnel is also reduced accordingly, and the safety in production is guaranteed.
The sky is bluer, the sea is clearer and the dry bulk port has a "green" living circle.
In Qingdao, Shandong Province, there is a residential area just across the street from the port area. Gao Cisong, a resident who lives not far away, has been walking downstairs more and more in recent years. Gao Cisong told reporters that this is because the environment here has been getting better and better in the past ten years.
As a dry bulk port, there are a lot of bulk commodities such as coal and iron ore loading and unloading. In the past ten years, Shandong port has accelerated the elimination of high-pollution and high-energy-consuming equipment, prevented and controlled port pollution, covered materials, loaded and unloaded spray, recovered oil and gas, and built the first port hydrogenation station in China.
Simplify customs clearance procedures, improve operation efficiency and ensure supply chain stability
Wang Jiajun has been engaged in freight forwarding business in Qingdao for 27 years. He told reporters that ten years ago, if they wanted to take containers away from the port, they had to go through the formalities with a list from one department to another.
In this decade, China’s total import and export value of goods trade increased from 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.1 trillion yuan last year. The increasing trade volume puts forward higher requirements for the operation efficiency of every link in the port. Today, ten years later, the electronic import container bill of lading and equipment handover form has been realized here, from customs clearance to box lifting, the whole process is handled online.
Strengthen China’s ports by chart and develop with high quality.
In the past ten years, Shandong Port Group has achieved an annual throughput of over 1.5 billion tons and a container volume of over 34 million TEUs. The total number of routes exceeds 320, ranking first in the northern port, and the status of Northeast Asia as an international shipping hub has been further consolidated.
The ten-year great changes of Shandong Port Group are a microcosm of China’s promotion of high-quality port development. In this decade, the scale of China’s ports has been expanding. By the end of 2021, China had a total of 20,867 berths for production and 2,659 berths of 10,000-ton or above, and the overall scale of water transport infrastructure remained the first in the world. China has established shipping routes with major ports in more than 100 countries and regions, making it the country with the highest maritime connectivity in the world. In 2021, China’s port cargo throughput and container throughput ranked first in the world. China Port, represented by Shandong Port Group, is taking a more solid step towards "accelerating the construction of a world-class marine port".
