Recently, Chinese and foreign media have been very concerned about the production of Shanghai port, and some media have released reports on the serious congestion of Shanghai port. The reporter learned from the verification of Shanghai International Port Group on the 3rd that the Shanghai Port operates normally all day, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the Yangtze River Delta and even the global industrial chain and supply chain. There is no container ship congestion, and the report of “serious congestion in Shanghai Port” is untrue.
Some media released remarks and drawings lacking verification, such as “the port delay in Shanghai is becoming more and more serious” and “this week, the number of ships waiting for loading and unloading in Shanghai port has soared to more than 300”, which have a certain negative impact on Shanghai port and brought concerns to enterprises and people in the industry. According to the data monitoring of Shanghai port, since February, the production and operation of Shanghai port terminal has been as usual, and there has been no congestion of container ships.
The reporter learned from Shanghai International Port (Group) Co.Ltd(600018) verification that the number of waiting ships in Shanghai port is in single digits, and the average number of waiting days is normal. According to the information released by Maersk and other large liner companies in March, due to the alternating impact of the epidemic from the Spring Festival to March, the waiting days in Asian ports are usually 1 to 2 days, and Shanghai port is better than this level.
The collection and distribution system of Shanghai port has effectively reduced congestion. Recently, the trans provincial transportation of land container trucks needs to provide the negative certificate of driver nucleic acid test, and the transportation volume is lower than before, which really bothered the transportation enterprises for a time. Therefore, Shanghai International Port (Group) Co.Ltd(600018) actively takes measures to solve the problem of difficult driving Shanghai International Port (Group) Co.Ltd(600018) it took only 12 hours to launch the “container truck epidemic prevention pass”, integrating electronic bill of lading, application code and 48 hour nucleic acid negative certificate, so that the container transport vehicles in Shanghai port can travel “one yard” smoothly, and the traffic efficiency of the outer ring tunnel is greatly improved.
The “land to water container” and “sea rail combined transport” services optimized and launched by Shanghai port have also played a positive role in unblocking the logistics chain. These services cover all terminals in Yangshan Area and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) area of Shanghai port to relevant ports in the Yangtze River and Yangtze River Delta, effectively alleviating the pressure of shortage of road transportation resources caused by the epidemic. At present, Shanghai International Port (Group) Co.Ltd(600018) jointly with COSCO Shipping, Maersk, Dafei, Mediterranean and other liner companies, actively publicize the supplementary collection and distribution mode to foreign trade and transportation enterprises, and the proportion of using waterway and railway to import containers keeps increasing.
