China News Network Fuzhou March 2 (Fu Guanxuan) A batch of pressure steel pipes exported by China Hydropower Construction Group International Engineering Co., Ltd. to Ethiopia was efficiently shipped at Fuzhou Port on March 1 through the "Direct Shipment to Port" model.
Cars full of cargo are continuously delivered directly to the wharf. The crane at the wharf quickly lifts the cargo from the wagon to the "Zhongxingmen" ship berthed at berth 5 in Jiangyin Port District, Fuzhou Port. The cargo enters the port, unloads and loads the ship seamlessly and runs efficiently.
According to the on-site staff of China Hydropower Construction International Engineering Co., Ltd., exporting these batches of pressure steel pipes in the "direct loading to port" mode can save 150,000 yuan in logistics costs, and the entire operation time is reduced by 3 days and shortened compared to the original mode. Nearly 50%.
The mode of direct bulk shipment to Hong Kong for export is one of the seven measures launched by Fuzhou Customs on February 28 to "resist the epidemic situation and promote the resumption of aviation insurance operations" to promote the stable growth of shipping logistics business.
The Fuzhou Customs' Rongcheng Customs Office in Fuqing stated that the "direct loading" mode, compared to the traditional operation mode, subtracts the logistics link of loading and unloading and storage of goods in the port, and the goods go directly from the factory to the ship and door to door. Direct supply and export can greatly improve port loading and unloading efficiency while saving logistics costs.
According to Fuzhou Customs statistics, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the number of ships and the import and export freight volume of most port routes in the Fuzhou Customs area have declined to varying degrees. In February this year, the fixed container foreign trade routes in the Customs area were suspended 54 times, with a suspension rate of 39 %.
Fuzhou Customs pointed out that in order to effectively reduce the impact of the epidemic on the economy, open up the shipping logistics business operation chain, and promote the stable development of the shipping logistics industry, Fuzhou Customs has conducted in-depth investigations on the market demand of the shipping logistics industry and accurately implemented 7 special support measures.

The relevant person in charge of China Ocean Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. said," Our company represents 30 ships a month. For the secondary export bulk cargo business, according to this calculation, the companies represented by our company can save logistics costs of 54 million yuan a year. "(End)
