In the past ten years, my country's import and export volume of goods trade has hit new highs, and my country has become the largest country in the world's trade in goods.

Port throughput is an important indicator to measure the port's transportation capacity.

In 2021, Shandong Port Group's cargo throughput exceeded 1.5 billion tons, ranking among the top in the world.

Unmanned and intelligent traditional wharf realizes intelligent upgrade

　　In Qingdao Port of Shandong Port Group, between the blue sky and blue sea, the production operations of the wharf and the yard are flowing, and the unmanned container trucks shuttle in an orderly manner.

In June of this year, the highest single-machine operating efficiency of this automated dock bridge crane reached 67.76 natural boxes per hour, breaking the world record for the loading and unloading efficiency of automated docks for the ninth time.

Ten years ago, operators had to board bridges nearly 50 meters high for operations, and loading and unloading was entirely manual.

　　In the past ten years, on the 3,345-kilometer winding coastline of Shandong Port, one terminal after another has achieved intelligent upgrades, mechanized and intelligent transformation, which has greatly reduced the labor intensity of drivers and improved the working environment; the number of inspection personnel has also been corresponding. Reduced, safe production is guaranteed.

The sky is bluer, the sea is clearer, the bulk cargo port has a "green" life circle

　　In Qingdao, Shandong, there is a residential area across the street from the port area. Gao Cisong, a resident 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 been getting better and better over the past ten years.

　　As a large dry bulk port, there is a large amount of coal, iron ore and other bulk commodities loading and unloading.

In the past ten years, Shandong Port has accelerated the elimination of high-polluting and high-energy-consuming equipment, prevented and controlled port pollution, covered materials, loaded and unloaded spray, recovered oil and gas, and built the country's first port hydrogen refueling station.

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

　　Wang Jiajun has been engaged in the freight forwarding business in Qingdao for 27 years. He told reporters that ten years ago, if they wanted to pick up the container from the port, they had to go through the formalities with one department by one department.

　　In the past ten years, the total value of my country's import and export of goods trade has increased from 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.1 trillion yuan last year.

The rising trade volume has put forward higher requirements on the operation efficiency of each link in the port.

Today, ten years later, the electronicization of the bill of lading and equipment handover for imported containers has been realized here. From customs clearance to pick-up, the whole process is handled online.

Towards a strong sea map, my country's ports are moving towards high-quality development

　　In the past ten years, Xiang Haitu has been strong, and Shandong Port Group has achieved an annual throughput of over 1.5 billion tons and a container volume of over 34 million TEUs.

The total number of routes exceeds 320, ranking first among northern ports, and the status of Northeast Asia as an international shipping hub has been further consolidated.

　　The great changes of Shandong Port Group in ten years are a microcosm of my country's promotion of high-quality development of ports.

In the past ten years, the scale of my country's ports has continued to expand.

By the end of 2021, my country has a total of 20,867 production terminal berths and 2,659 berths of 10,000-ton and above. The overall scale of water transportation infrastructure remains the world's largest. my country has established shipping routes with major ports in more than 100 countries and regions. , is the country with the highest maritime connectivity in the world. In 2021, my country's port cargo throughput and container throughput will both rank first in the world.

Chinese ports represented by Shandong Port Group are taking more solid steps towards "accelerating the construction of a world-class marine port".
