According to Huacheng's import and export data observation report, in the past decade, China's import and export volume of goods trade has reached new highs, and China has become the largest country in the world's goods trade. Port throughput is an important indicator to measure port transport capacity. In 2021, the cargo throughput of Shandong Port Group will exceed 1.5 billion tons, ranking first in the world.

Unmanned and intelligent traditional terminals realize intelligent upgrading

At the Qingdao Port of Shandong Port Group, the production operation at the wharf and the storage yard goes smoothly between the blue sky and the blue sea, and unmanned container trucks shuttle in order. In June of this year, the highest single unit operation efficiency of the bridge crane in this automated wharf reached 67.76 natural boxes per hour, breaking the world record for the handling efficiency of the automated wharf for the ninth time. Ten years ago, operators had to board a bridge nearly 50 meters high for operation, and loading and unloading were entirely manual, according to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation.

In the past decade, along the 3345km meandering coastline of Shandong Port, one dock after another has achieved intelligent upgrading and mechanized and intelligent transformation, which has greatly reduced the labor intensity of drivers and improved the working environment; The number of patrol inspectors has also been reduced accordingly, ensuring safe production.

Tiangeng, Blue Ocean, Clean and Dry Bulk Port has a "green" life circle

According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, in Qingdao, Shandong Province, the residential area is just across the street from the port area. Gao Cisong, a resident who lives not far away, has been walking downstairs more and more in recent years. Gao Cisong told reporters that this is because the environment here has become better and better over the past decade.

As a large dry bulk cargo port, there is a large amount of loading and unloading of coal, iron ore and other bulk commodities. In the past decade, Shandong Port has accelerated the elimination of equipment with high pollution and high energy consumption, prevented and controlled port pollution, covered materials, loaded and unloaded sprinklers, recovered oil and gas, and built the first port hydrogenation station in China.

Simplify customs clearance procedures, improve operation efficiency, and ensure supply chain stability

Wang Jiajun has been engaged in the freight forwarding business in Qingdao for 27 years. He said that ten years ago, if they wanted to pick up containers from the port, they would have to go through the formalities one department at a time.

In this decade, the total value of China's import and export of goods trade increased from 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.1 trillion yuan last year. The increasing trade volume has put forward higher requirements for the operation efficiency of each link in the port. Today, ten years later, the electronic import container bill of lading and equipment delivery bill have been realized here. From customs clearance to carrying, the whole process is handled online, according to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data.

Strive to strengthen China's ports towards high-quality development

In the past ten years, Shandong Port Group has achieved an annual throughput of more than 1.5 billion tons and a container volume of more than 34 million TEUs. The total number of routes exceeded 320, ranking first in northern ports, and the position of Northeast Asia as an international shipping hub was further consolidated.

The great changes of Shandong Port Group in the past ten years are a microcosm of the high-quality development of ports in China. In the past decade, the scale of China's ports has continued to expand. By the end of 2021, China has 20867 production berths and 2659 berths of 10000 tons and above. The overall scale of water transport infrastructure remains the first in the world. China has established maritime routes with major ports in more than 100 countries and regions. China is the country with the highest maritime connectivity in the world. In 2021, China's port cargo throughput and container throughput will both rank first in the world. Chinese ports, represented by Shandong Port Group, are taking a more solid step towards "accelerating the construction of world-class marine ports", according to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data.
