Guangzhou Nansha International Logistics Center, an import and export logistics hub in the Greater Bay Area——
The busy park is full of vitality (Chinese New Year Walking Grassroots·Special Report)
The whistle sounded, and a cargo ship loaded with Chilean cherries was ushered in the Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port. 18,000 tons of cherries were unloaded from here, and entered the country through the largest port-side warehouse group in the country-Guangzhou Nansha International Logistics Center. market.
During the Spring Festival holiday, the enthusiasm for domestic consumption is soaring, and cherries have become an important import commodity in Nansha International Logistics Center recently.
"Forty percent of the Chilean cherries exported to my country will be imported from Nansha Port. We create an efficient, safe and low-cost imported fruit logistics channel for customers." said Dong Lei, executive deputy general manager of Guangzhou Nansha International Cold Chain Co., Ltd. .
The logistics center is divided into the south area and the north area. The south area focuses on cold chain, and the north area focuses on logistics. The total construction area is 950,000 square meters and the overall storage capacity is 712,000 tons.
As the import and export logistics hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it gets busier around the Spring Festival.
The location is advantageous, and it is more convenient to "buy and sell globally"
At 4 a.m., before dawn, the truck driver, Liang Jubiao, had already put on a reflective vest, and went around the truck to check the condition of the truck. "The truck has a high wear rate, and if there is a problem, it must be repaired immediately."
Liang Jubiao received the task of transporting the cherries to the Jiangnan Vegetable and Fruit Wholesale Market early in the morning: "A truckload of goods can easily cost millions of dollars, so don't be sloppy."
Thanks to the advance customs declaration, most of the cherries unloaded into the port area can be "directly picked up by the ship".
At the same time, under the "port + park" cold chain cargo distribution mode, the trailers inside the terminal directly enter the Nansha International Cold Chain Area to complete various tasks in the customs clearance process, and the overall customs clearance time for imported fruits has increased by more than 25%.
Large trucks had to stagger the time limit when entering the city, and Liang Jubiao had to deliver the cherries to the wholesale market before 7 o'clock.
From the wholesale market to the major supermarkets in the Greater Bay Area, and finally put on the dining tables of the citizens, the cherries have completed the fast cold chain transportation from foreign farms to the domestic market.
Every day with the car, Liang Jubiao regards the car as a "partner", "eats in the car, and sleeps in the car while waiting for unloading." He rushes to deliver cold chain products in the early morning, and mainly focuses on logistics in the port area during the day.
"We are adjacent to the Nansha port area and the freight yard of the South Nansha Port Railway Station. Sea routes, railways, and highways are all convenient, and we can seamlessly connect with multiple modes of transportation." Liang Jubiao said.
Many merchants have taken a fancy to the superior location of the logistics center and have settled in one after another. Countless Chinese products depart from here and rush to the world.
In the past two years, Midea has also become a customer of the logistics center.
"A few years ago, our foreign trade increased by more than 20%, and the daily peak loading volume increased by 50%." Liu Weidong, head of export logistics of Midea's building business department, said, "Nansha Port opened the China-Europe Railway Express, and the sea-rail combined transportation mode is effective. It has resolved the risks brought about by shipping congestion at the port. Nansha Port also has a dedicated team to provide integrated supporting services, coordinate and solve problems in a timely manner, and provide enterprises with efficient and high-quality services.”
It was already night to deliver the perfect company's container, and Liang Jubiao was getting ready to leave work.
"I usually run one or two cars a day. During the Spring Festival holiday, the volume of goods is large, so I have to run four or five times a day." Leung leaves early and returns late, but Liang Jubiao is full of energy. "The more you work, the more you earn. The port area is getting better and better. The better days are more secure."
Good measures by the customs, the customs clearance of goods is more efficient
The ship has not docked yet, and the company has already made a declaration.
During the unloading process of the imported fruit container, high-definition camera equipment scans in real time, and the obtained container information is automatically associated with the data of the terminal operation system, and the diversion order is generated by comparing the customs cargo declaration.
A certain proportion of the cargo is randomly selected for inspection. After arriving at the port, the customs will first conduct machine inspections on these random inspections, and then conduct manual inspections.
After receiving the task notice, Liu Tao, deputy chief of the Haixin Cold Chain Inspection Section of Nansha Customs under Guangzhou Customs, and his colleagues carried out goods inspection overnight.
"At present, the inspection capacity of imported fruits in the port area has increased by nearly four times compared with before, and the number of reefer sockets has also increased to 5,500. Even during the inspection process, it can ensure that the cold chain goods are kept cold throughout the process." Liu Tao said.
In order to preserve the freshness and quality of imported fruits, Nansha Customs is still in the process of customs clearance, such as document review, inspection, laboratory testing, and certificate issuance, with dedicated personnel and posts to provide one-stop services for the entire customs clearance chain.
"Many measures have also been taken to ensure the timeliness of customs clearance for cold chain commodities, including 'advance declaration', 'two-step declaration', 'two-stage access' and 'direct pick-up from the ship' and other measures." Liu Tao is familiar with various measures.
Liu Tao's job is often on the front line, taking samples, taking pictures, and recording... After working hard, he was sweating, and it was already early in the morning when he finished work a few times.
"Although I'm busy, I feel very fulfilled." When I went home to shop online for the New Year, Liu Tao saw Chilean cherries. I took a closer look and found that the inspection and quarantine certificate was issued by Nansha Customs. I felt very kind and immediately placed an order. We have confidence in our own work, and we can eat with confidence.”
Management informationization, service enterprises are more at ease
In addition to direct pick-up and inspection, the goods that receive the stacking instruction will be pulled to the cold chain warehouse.
Liu Jun, the technical director of the cold chain company, goes to the control room every day, where he can see the situation of the entire cold chain logistics base: the workers in the warehouse are busy loading and unloading, and the trucks stop or dispatch according to the orders...
3 cold storages, 1 refrigerated storage yard, 1 80,000-square-meter external storage yard, and 162 refrigerated container inspection platforms can provide one-stop services such as inspection storage, bonded, processing and distribution, display trading, and supply chain.
Recently, Liu Jun has visited more frequently and watched more carefully.
"During the Spring Festival, the workload is heavy, and we are afraid that everyone will make mistakes during the busy schedule, so we must be more cautious." Liu Jun pointed to the screen in the control room and said that the cold storage is equipped with a refrigeration system according to the size of the area, and the temperature must be kept in a stable range for 24 hours. Once there is a risk alarm pops up. , the staff will check and repair in time, and add a safety lock for the preservation of cold chain products.
"There are more than 2,000 cameras to transmit images, and the temperature control also uses an automated system, which is much more efficient than manual work."
Liu Jun introduced that they will work with liner companies to promote the application of the blockchain electronic delivery platform to promote data interconnection among refrigerated container ports, airlines, and cargo, and realize the digitalization of the entire chain of refrigerated container imports, paperless documents throughout the process, and greatly reduce Document processing time.
"We go deep into the communication and docking of enterprises, understand the import and export plans of enterprises and the berthing time of liners, actively coordinate customs clearance entities such as ports, shipping agencies, and freight forwarders to reasonably plan customs clearance operations, and strengthen the link between customs clearance and logistics links. Guide enterprises to apply customs clearance facilitation measures to improve customs clearance The efficiency of formalities.” Dong Lei said that only when the preliminary work is in place can the company’s sense of gain be effectively improved.
With the improvement of service level and the blessing of many favorable policies, Nansha International Logistics Center has attracted many corporate customers to settle in and carry out business.
"In the future, we will continue to provide good services to make customers more at ease and satisfied." Dong Lei said.
