WIFFA Cargo Trade Fair in Guangzhou

As we know, the Cargo Trade Fair is the center of communication and access to information. It has become an important part of the overall market expansion. Participated in the WIFFA exhibition held in Guangzhou on June 5th, 2019 is an excellent opportunity to promote and publicize our company’s business, showcase the company’s strength and image.

Although most of the companies participated in the exhibition are from China, there were also many overseas logistics companies, such as Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and so on. This enables us, who are interested in overseas freight companies, to contact and learn about overseas companies without going abroad.

For the exhibition, exhibitors must have a better understanding of the company’s business knowledge so that we can guide customers correctly during the exhibition. During the exhibition, in addition to patiently greeting companies who came to our booth to communicate with us, we also took the initiative to go to other companies’ booths to observe, understand, collect their business cards and make notes.

After the exhibition, first of all, we should summarize the work after the exhibition as one of the planning basis to guide the next exhibition, the purpose is to make up for the lack of this exhibition work, carry forward its advantages, so that G.H FORWARDING will progress in each conference and harvest more!

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.
