In the first nine months, the container throughput of Shanghai Port was 39.102 million TEUs
On the morning of October 15, Shanghai held a press conference on the "Promoting high-quality Development" theme series 2024 North Bund International Shipping Forum to introduce the development of China's shipping industry and the development of Shanghai International Shipping Center.
In terms of the steady progress of the construction of the international maritime and air hub, the throughput of the Port of Shanghai has increased steadily, and the radiation capacity has been effectively enhanced. 2024 Xinhua Baltic Sea International Shipping Center Development Index report shows that Shanghai once again ranked third in the international shipping center Development Index, and the status of international shipping center has been continuously consolidated.
Statistics show that from January to September 2024, Shanghai Port completed 39.102 million TEUs of container throughput, an increase of 8%; The first phase of Luojing Container Port Area was officially opened, and one 100,000 ton berth and four 10,000 ton berths were built, with a designed annual throughput of 2.6 million TEUs. It is an important hub connecting the Yangtze River and shipping, which greatly improves the efficiency and production capacity of Shanghai Port. Shanghai port container water transfer ratio of 60.6%; The sea-rail combined transport completed 727,000 TEUs, an increase of 38.6%, and the collection and distribution system was increasingly improved.
In terms of the continuous deepening of the transformation of the shipping center, the new fuel refueling capacity of the Port of Shanghai was accelerated, and the LNG refueling business of international sailing ships was expanded from Yangshan to Hong Kong, and the refueling capacity and scale were further improved. At the same time, the Port of Shanghai has realized the "ship-to-ship" synchronous refueling operation of green methanol fuel for large container ships, becoming the first port in China with the capacity of ship-to-ship refueling of green methanol.
In addition, the Port of Shanghai has accelerated the pace of international cooperation in green shipping, issued the outline of the implementation plan of the Port of Shanghai-Port of Los Angeles green Shipping Corridor in 2023, and has established a complete working mechanism to promote it together with various forces. The China-Us Green Shipping Corridor Working Conference was also held in 2024 to share experience and build consensus.
At the same time, actively promote the digitalization of shipping trade, and constantly expand the application of electronic bills of lading and electronic cargo release in the field of port shipping. From January to September 2024, Shanghai port completed electronic delivery of more than 310,000 tickets, totaling more than 930,000 TEUs.
It is understood that Shanghai will take the initiative to take the "2024 North Bund International Shipping Forum" as an opportunity, with digitalization, intelligence and green as the main line, guided by improving efficiency, expanding functions and increasing kinetic energy, start Shanghai's high-end shipping service brand, accelerate the construction of a new generation of smart green ports, and carry out international cooperation in a wider range, wider fields and deeper levels. Contribute China's strength to the development of the global shipping industry.
