China News Service Tianjin, April 12 (Reporter Zhang Daozheng) At 13:00 on April 11, the largest container ship "COSCO SHIPPING Nebula" designed and built by China included a nose, fuselage and horizontal tail on the ship. The six large components of the Airbus aircraft landed safely, steadily and efficiently, and Tianjin Port set a "Chinese record" of "zero defects" for 500 sorties.
In 2006, Tianjin, with its good industrial foundation, port and location advantages, stood out from the four domestic competitive cities. The Airbus A320 assembly line was settled in Binhai New Area. Since the operation of the Airbus A320 assembly line in 2008, it has continuously expanded international cooperation and extended the industrial chain, and the industry aggregation effect has gradually emerged. Dozens of aviation manufacturing projects such as Goodrich, PPG, and West Airplane Wings that provide related supporting or services Settled in, forming a complete industrial chain.
From "nothing" to "flying into the sky", the 12-year output value exceeded 100 billion yuan. The Airbus A320 assembly line has driven the vigorous development of Tianjin's aerospace industry, accompanied by Tianjin Port's consistent "ingenuity" ".
From July 24, 2008, COSCO Seattle carried the first large Airbus component to Tianjin Port. Tianjin Port won the unanimous trust of Airbus, Airbus (Tianjin) Assembly Co., Ltd. and COSCO Group. Since then, a record has been constantly refreshed in Tianjin Port: June 12, 2012, the 100th sorting; September 1, 2014, the 200th sorting; September 18, 2016, the 300th sorting; September 14, 2018 Day, the 400th sorting; April 11, 2020, the 500th sorting.

During this period, Tianjin Port's handling of large parts of Airbus aircraft has been limited to daytime operations, to achieve 24-hour "all-weather" handling; the handling time has been reduced from 4 hours per sorting to 40 minutes; Four sorties, increased to 5-6 sorties per month, added wings to Tianjin's "Blue Sky Economy".
Since the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, Tianjin Port Group has taken the hard action of "airway priority, berth priority, operation priority, and transportation priority" to grab and dismantle 15 Airbus major components, and resume production for large aircraft, large rockets and other aerospace companies. Providing the most temperature-sensitive services, maintaining the stability of the logistics and transportation of leading companies with important influence in the global supply chain, and smoothing the circulation of Tianjin's aerospace industry have laid a solid foundation for building an internationally influential aerospace industry base.
At the same time, Tianjin Port Group played a pivotal role in the port ’s hub protection and radiation, and actively acted as a “pioneer” for smoothing the industrial cycle, market cycle, and economic and social cycle, and launched a series of cost reduction and efficiency upgrade service measures to help resume work and production. Further improve the port operation efficiency and comprehensive service level, promote the optimization of the port business environment, and better serve the economic and social order to speed up the recovery.
