On the morning of January 10, the Chinese container ship “xinmingzhou 98” successfully docked at Haitian terminal. After several hours of intensive operation, the ship will be fully loaded and go to RCEP national ports such as Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and Bangkok, Thailand at a high speed to deliver high-quality Chinese products to the people of countries along the “Silk Road”.
Xinmingzhou 98 “is one of the three ships on the new route, berthing in RCEP countries such as China, Vietnam and Thailand. The reporter saw at the dock site that gantry cranes and bridge cranes operate at high speed and container trailers shuttle quickly. At the beginning of the new year, Xiamen Port showed a busy operation scene. According to Xiamen Port Development Co.Ltd(000905) According to the relevant person in charge of the holding group, in order to improve the operation efficiency, this new route only berths at Ningbo and Xiamen ports in China.

RCEP came into force on January 1, 2022. With the implementation of many favorable measures such as tariff reduction, service investment opening and intellectual property protection, the new momentum of Xiamen’s high-level opening to the outside world has been strongly stimulated. In addition, the organic superposition of favorable policies of “Silk Road shipping” and the better business environment of the port makes Xiamen Port welcome new routes in the first month of the new year. So far, Xiamen port has 103 international routes, reaching 141 ports in 50 countries around the world.
One belt, one road, is the next step. Li Nan, deputy general manager of Fujian Silk Road Shipping Co., Ltd., said that the next step is to “take silk road shipping” to play the advantage of the global circle of friends, and to take the high standard, sustainable and people’s livelihood as the goal. We should seize the opportunity to build a “RCEP+21 century Maritime Silk Road” logistics corridor and push forward the construction of the “one belt and one road” with high quality.
