Guangzhou development achievements
The international integrated transportation hub is a major strategic move for Guangzhou to realize the new vitality of the old city and play a leading role in the development of a comprehensive gateway city and the core engine of the Greater Bay Area.
Ports are an important support for building a comprehensive transportation security system that "connects the world and radiates the whole country".
Promoting the construction of international shipping hubs with high quality, actively serving the construction of the “Belt and Road” and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and undertaking the country's important task of building a domestic and international “dual cycle” development pattern. Guangzhou Port and Shipping Industry has delivered a beautiful answer sheet in recent years.
The golden autumn sends cool, good news one after another.
In September of this year, the monthly loading and unloading volume of commercial vehicles at Nansha Wharf of Guangzhou Port exceeded 130,000, setting a new historical record since the port.
Just in the past National Day holiday, as the "Aglea" vessel successfully called at the Nansha Phase II terminal on October 5, COSCO SHIPPING's Asian route CME successfully made its maiden voyage to Nansha, and the Guangzhou Port foreign trade liner route ushered in an important historic moment. The total number reached 120; on October 6, the first batch of 21 containers from the Central Asia Express was shipped from the second phase terminal of the Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port and sent to Indonesia. The Guangdong Central Asia Express was transported by “rail-barge” for the first time. The "-sea transportation" method of combined iron and water transport goes abroad and opens up the logistics channel of "Central Asia-Guangzhou-Southeast Asia" to realize the seamless combined transportation of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road".
