Can it actually be prevented? A batch of new achievements in the development of Shanghai's shipping industry have been released, leading to an increasing number of sudden illnesses on airplanes
This afternoon, the "2023 North Bund International Maritime Forum" and "2023 North Bund International Aviation Forum" were held in the World Reception Hall of the North Bund in Shanghai, and a batch of new achievements in the development of Shanghai's shipping industry were released.
This year's North Bund International Maritime Forum, with the theme of "grasping changes, innovating business models, and linking for mutual benefit," aims to build an exchange and cooperation platform for all parties involved in the maritime industry chain to monitor industry development trends and discuss development plans for the maritime industry, injecting more new momentum into the world economic recovery.
"After three years of the epidemic, the shipping market has returned to normal, but this normal is not the old normal of traditional concepts, but a new normal led by new changes, new formats, and new technologies." A guest attending the North Bund International Shipping Forum said. The multiple achievements released on the forum have unveiled the veil of new formats and technologies for people.
Among them, COSCO Shipping Group has released digital supply chain products - the "Tai" series and the "Heng" series, targeting universal product transportation, as well as specific industries and goods.
The two products promote integrated configuration, operation, and construction of "shipping, port, and logistics", and increase the construction of global supply chain resources including trailer, warehousing, yard, and customs. COSCO Shipping has achieved visibility, controllability, and traceability in all aspects of booking, land and water transportation, loading and unloading ships, meeting the comprehensive logistics needs of customers with fast delivery time, stable delivery, and controllable rhythm.
In addition, Shanghai Port Group announced the completion of the Shanghai Port Collection and Distribution Center; Xinhua Index Co., Ltd. has released a global port and shipping supply chain observation report based on an index perspective. The former will optimize the collection and distribution system of Shanghai Port, while the latter reflects the new development trend of the international shipping industry.
The theme of this year's North Bund International Aviation Forum is "Linking New Patterns and Creating New Prosperity", and a number of heavyweight achievements were also released at the forum.
The "Aviation Health Travel Guide" jointly launched by China Eastern Airlines and Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University makes passengers feel grounded. Passengers who have a need to take the plane can learn about the content of the guide in advance.
From a data perspective, in recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of sudden illnesses among passengers on board. Airlines, for the sake of passenger safety, sometimes choose to return or alternate. But research has found that if passengers evaluate their physical health, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of such situations.
"Do you know that staying up late before taking a plane, not eating well, and sitting still for a long time on the plane all pose certain safety hazards, and in serious cases, may even endanger the lives of passengers?" The person in charge of China Eastern Airlines at the forum explained to reporters, "Most people are not aware of the existence of these risks. The 'Aviation Health Travel Guidelines' will remind everyone of the possible causes of various sudden illnesses on board and provide suggestions."
At present, this guide can be viewed on the official platform of China Eastern Airlines. In the future, it may also appear on airplanes, making it clear to passengers who have just boarded the plane.
The construction of an integrated air ground transportation network in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle is one of the specific measures taken by China Eastern Airlines to build a super carrier in Shanghai. In terms of passenger transportation, China Eastern Airlines is making every effort to build an international aviation network that connects to the world and an efficient and convenient domestic aviation network, and to create an integrated aviation transportation circle. In terms of cargo transportation, China Eastern Airlines is committed to building a convenient and efficient modern air logistics system, including accelerating the expansion of air cargo route networks, accelerating the layout of air logistics infrastructure construction, and strengthening the distribution capacity of air cargo hubs.
The "Shanghai Air Transport Platform" led by Shanghai Airport Group integrates operational data of air transport entities such as airports, customs, airlines, freight stations, and freight forwarders, connects China's international trade single window, improves local air transport information in Shanghai, and develops "one-stop processing" through system interconnection, status awareness, operational collaboration, community sharing, and other functions to achieve "one-stop inspection", empower various air transport entities, promote the coordination between the operation of the civil aviation industry and customs supervision, and help improve the efficiency of air transport clearance in Shanghai.
