On the 21st, the reporter learned from the Management Committee of Lingang New Area of China (Shanghai) pilot free trade zone that since the implementation of a new round of nucleic acid screening in Shanghai on March 28, the number of entry-exit (port) international navigation ships in Yangshan Port has reached 631, an increase of 10.9% over the same period last year, and the number of entry-exit (port) personnel has been 14700, an increase of 12.2% over the same period last year. With the full support of port inspection units such as border inspection and port and shipping enterprises, ships have berthed and disembarked safely Efficient loading and unloading of goods, orderly entry and exit of ships and vehicles, and all docks operate normally all day except for extreme weather.
Affected by the current round of epidemic, the control of cross regional land transportation logistics in the Yangtze River Delta has been tightened, and the turnover efficiency of container road transportation has been reduced. The land route is limited, and the goods are quickly diverted to water and railway. The Yangtze River Delta is rich in coastline resources, including 8 coastal ports and 26 inland river ports above designated size. At the same time, the railway network density is 2.2 times the national average. In order to reduce the impact of the epidemic on the transfer efficiency of containers in and out of Yangshan Port, a single container that originally needs to be transported by land into and out of the port is collected and transferred to various places through cargo ships attached to Yangshan port or Luchao port railway freight hub, so as to alleviate the pressure of land transportation.
Since March, the proportion of water to water transfer in Yangshan Port has increased again. The “Shanghai Taicang” water express channel has added 7 operating ships and 150 voyages, and the container traffic volume has increased by 68% year-on-year. The increase in the proportion of water transfer has also improved the berthing rate of small and medium-sized cargo ships.
According to reports, in view of the different sizes of berthing ships and the proximity of domestic and foreign trade cargo ships, Yangshan border inspection station strengthened the external inspection of ships through the intelligent eagle eye system, strictly implemented the unnecessary measures of “no boarding, no landing and no berthing”, strictly approved the entry into the port, strengthened the management of ships during their stay in the port, ensured the safe and orderly transfer of goods “ship to ship”, controlled the whole process, and put an end to the hidden dangers of epidemic.
In terms of alleviating the pressure of land transportation, with the issuance of national unified passes and the implementation of national mutual recognition measures such as “pick, go and chase” for nucleic acid sampling, the traffic efficiency of trucks has been further improved. The number of trucks entering and leaving Yangshan Port day and night on April 20 reached 15000, and the number of trucks on the East China Sea Bridge has gradually increased.
In terms of deepening digital empowerment, various electronic documents have been deeply applied in Yangshan port. Taking the border inspection procedures as an example, the “single window” platform of China’s international trade has been fully connected with the border inspection system. The entry and exit (port) procedures of international ships and various administrative licensing procedures have been handled 100% online, making paperless, non-contact licensing and customs clearance safer and more efficient.
At the same time, Yangshan border inspection station has actively implemented the 16 measures of the State Administration of immigration to promote the development of shipping enterprises. Since March 28, it has opened nine express channels for the entry of people’s livelihood and anti epidemic materials such as LNG energy and important chemical raw materials, and no longer handled border inspection procedures for the relocation of more than 330 ships on international voyages. It has helped foreign ships carry out coastal carry on business and accelerated the transit of goods between coastal ports, Further improve the efficiency of goods circulation.
