Port enterprises in three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta should dynamically publish information such as the number of refrigerated containers and the plug data of refrigerated containers in the storage yard in the port on the Internet, coordinate and link with the storage yard outside the port, and further improve the storage capacity of refrigerated containers; Coordinate the container liner company to reasonably arrange the loading and unloading plan of refrigerated container port. Earnestly implement the emergency notification requirements for the collection and distribution support of Shanghai port, and make good use of the electronic pass of truck vehicles to ensure the smooth entry and exit of truck vehicles. To strictly and realistically prevent and control the epidemic situation, we should not only do a good job in preventing the import outside the water transport port, but also strictly prevent the risk of the spread of the epidemic situation in epidemic related cities to the port area, strengthen the special class management of high-risk posts and the static management of front-line personnel, and resolutely build a solid epidemic prevention barrier.
(II) ensure the normal operation of the port. The competent transportation departments in epidemic affected areas shall promote the local joint prevention and control mechanism to provide necessary guarantee for the commuting of port operators.
