It is reported that after the first shipment was completed on November 3, 2020 at Yangshan Taicang Port, the linked unloading now covers 12 ports in the Yangtze River Basin, including Anji Port and Hefei Port. This regulatory model uses other Yangtze River branch ports as unloading points for Yangshan Port, achieving direct water to water connection, multi port interaction, inland river handling, and Yangshan loading and unloading, fully demonstrating the advantages of waterway transportation, significantly reducing logistics costs, saving logistics costs of 100 to 400 yuan per TEU, and shortening logistics time by 1 to 2 days.
Jiangsu Taicang Port and Yangshan Port have achieved linkage for unloading.
In addition, since the landing of China's first foreign-funded liner "coastal pick-up" service in Shanghai in June last year, it has provided new opportunities for shipping companies to optimize route layout, flexibly allocate shipping resources, and improve liner transportation efficiency. At present, the number of foreign-funded ships related to the "coastal carrying" registration at Shanghai Customs has increased from the initial 44 to 94.
