2019 and Ningbo-Zhoushan port continues to grow

Located on the coast of the East China Sea and across from Shanghai, over the past few years, the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan has increasingly become an important amongst the many ports in China. In 2015, it handled 888.96 million tons of cargoes making it the busiest port in the world that year in terms of cargo tonnage.

Last year Ningbo-Zhoushan reported a container throughput of 26 million teu which pushed it up to rank in the world’s top three container ports for the very first time, second being Singapore and first being Shanghai. In the same year it also became the first port in the world to exceed 1 billion tonnes of annual cargo.

Now, according to the latest data from the official China Transportation Department, from Jan to April, cargo throughput has reached 348.06 million tonsat Ningbo-Zhoushan which compared with the figure last year, represents an increase of 1.2%.

At the same time, container throughput arrived 8.94 million TEU, and increased 3.3%, compared with the figure from last year.

 

In the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan, overall shipping routes are stable. There are 246 shipping routes which include 113 Ocean Trunk until the end of April. Sea-rail intermodal transportation business is the key point in increasing the volume of containers.

From Jan to April, sea-rail intermodal transportation shipped 243000 TEU, which compared with the figure last year, it increased 49.5%. There are 4 new routes, and total number of routes is now 14. The level of Zhoushan port service has made significant progress. Wherever the imported and exported containers are in the factory, freight forwarding, yard, dock, shipping company or other logistics areas, all this information regarding the imported and exported containers are dynamically visualized and controlled. It has become the first port in Chinawhere the operation handling of imported/exported containers are paperless and visualized. Previously this was all done and handled by people with paper documents which is neither efficient nor cost effective.

 

There is also the building terminal constructed to handle new processes, the project of the increasing terminal capacity develops to 499 meters and 120000 tons in Beilun Port. Besides, the shifting of bridge cranes in the Chuanshan Port and the loading & unloading of new equipment in the Meishan Port both areunder way.

 

This can all be seen as early evidence of success as in the second session of the 13th People’s Congress of Zhejiang Province in Jan this year, it was reported that Zhejiang province would make the integration of its Ningbo and Zhoushan cities a priority in 2019.

In Zhoushan Port, the growth trend of huangsha, liquefied oil products, automobile ro-ro and other business increases healthily. Meanwhile, the automotive ro-ro business arrives the throughput with 88000 vehicles in the pass four months, which compared with the figure last year, it increased 206.84%. In addition, crude oil, coal and other businesses are relatively stable, but the throughput of iron ore is decreased and slightly affected by objective factors, such as the Tailings dam break in Brazil , hurricane in Australia and so on.

Benefits of taking part in TransRussia exhibition: 

1.Opportunity to increase sales and expand customer base:

Plenty of visitors: Due to the large number of professional visitors at the exhibition, participation in TransRussia opens access to new potential customers.

High quality of visitors: Visitors of TransRussia are specialists of the transport and logistics industry, interested in finding partners for the construction of the supply chain, and the end users of transport and logistics services – cargo owners (trade and manufacturing companies).

Our team arrived in Moscow on April 9th after a ten-hour flight. And they visited lots of our good partners in Russia before the official start of the TransRussia exhibition.

On the way to TransRussia exhibition.

We seriously pay attention to our own image, be full of energy and behave in a civilized manner during the business trip for the TransRussia in Moscow. Because we know that good spirit not only reflects the company’s vitality and vigorous atmosphere, but also shows the good quality of ourselves to the customers and enhances the confidence of customers to cooperate with us.

Participating in the professional industry exhibition, G.H Forwarding can not only show its own business strength in the same industry, but also serve customers more closely. We can also see our own shortcomings from the same participating customers and constantly improve ourselves.

At the exhibition, there is not only active communication and exchange of information between business people, but also entertainment programs for us to enjoy, in order to alleviate our fatigue for a while and promote the enthusiasm of everyone.

Perhaps from a certain exhibition, can not immediately see the results and receive a lot of orders. But we believe that through the company’s publicity and promotion, coupled with the subsequent development work, the more communication with all aspects of the information industry and make professional exhibition real service to our business promotion, the performance of the service attitude and show the strength of our company, then make G.H Forwarding business spreads all over China, towards the world!
