[Explanation] Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the instability of economic and trade cooperation in various places has increased, and traditional businesses such as fresh products on both sides of the strait have been impacted.

　　[Explanation] On April 27, the cargo ship "Yi Xin" was berthed at the Xiamen International Cruise Center Terminal. After the cargo ship was fully loaded with 11 containers of express shipments, it will be transported from Xiamen to Kaohsiung via Kinmen.

In March 2021, Xiamen International Cruise Center Terminal obtained the fifth batch of qualifications for small-value trade points to Taiwan under the trial implementation of more open management measures, and officially undertook the cargo business of Xiamen-Jinan route at the end of April of the same year.

Subsequently, the International Cruise Center realized the two-way normalization of the small-value trade business to Taiwan from Xiamen to Kinmen, and the express shipments were transferred to Kaohsiung via Kinmen, which further broadened the logistics channel.

　　(We) give full play to the location advantages of Xiamen and Kinmen, door-to-door.

Innovatively launched a new channel for southbound sea freight for the route from Xiamen to Kinmen (to) Kaohsiung.

Since August 2021, we have launched the density of 2 flights per week. Since 2022, we have formed 3 flights per week. Next, we will gradually introduce daily flights to Taiwan according to the market demand. Special line for ocean express.

　　[Explanation] According to the short time interval between entry and exit of small-value trade ships, Tongyi Frontier Inspection Station of Xiamen Entry-Exit Frontier Inspection Station has successively implemented a number of convenient service measures such as ship pre-inspection, zero-contact inspection and one-time settlement, which are effective. Shorten the stay time of ships in port and reduce the operating costs of ships, which has effectively promoted the facilitation of cross-strait exchanges of goods and trade.

　　The time spent in Hong Kong for small-value trade ships to Taiwan is generally no more than 6 hours at most. If I follow the previous method of going through the formalities, I do it once for entry and once for exit, which is a very waste of time. Therefore, we have now introduced a one-time settlement, where he goes through the entry and exit formalities at the same time, so that the customs clearance time of the shipping agent ship is reduced, the operating cost is also reduced, and the stay time is also reduced.

So I think there should be a lot of convenience for them.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that from April 29, 2021 to April 27, 2022, there will be 177 inbound and outbound voyages for express ships on the Xiamen-Jinan route, and the volume of import and export express shipments is 1,570 containers, an increase of 13 times year-on-year.
