This summer, the inbound and outbound passenger flow at Shanghai Port exceeded 4.5 million people
Since the beginning of this year, the number of inbound and outbound personnel at Shanghai Port has been continuously increasing, especially during the summer vacation. According to statistics from the Shanghai border inspection authorities, during the summer travel rush, a total of 4.539 million people were inspected, with a daily average of 73000 people, recovering to 53.9% of the same period in 2019. Among them, at the Pudong International Airport Port, the Shanghai Border Inspection Station has inspected a total of 3.873 million inbound and outbound personnel during the summer, accounting for more than 85% of the total number of Shanghai ports.
Faced with the peak summer transportation passenger flow, Shanghai border inspection agencies adhere to coordinated development and security, fully implement the facilitation measures of the National Immigration Administration, scientifically organize duties, strictly control ports, and ensure smooth and safe customs clearance. Taking Pudong International Airport as an example, during the summer vacation, airlines gradually increase their international flights to meet market demand. Eastern Airlines, Chunqiu Airlines, Jixiang Airlines and other airlines have successively opened or resumed some international routes to Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France and other countries. The border inspection station of Shanghai Airport has inspected nearly 20000 international passenger flights for entry and exit, an increase of 30.2% compared to the previous two months.
Behind the surge in flights is the increasing inbound and outbound passenger flow. The Shanghai border inspection authorities have made every effort to ensure smooth customs clearance at summer ports by timely issuing clearance instructions, optimizing police deployment, and opening sufficient inspection channels. For transit and transit passengers, the Shanghai border inspection authorities strictly implement the facilitation measures of "144 hour visa free transit between Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai", "24-hour visa free transit", and "24-hour direct transit without border inspection procedures", actively creating a better entry and exit experience. According to statistics, since July 1st, the number of passengers who have processed 144 hour visa free, 24-hour visa free, and 24-hour direct border inspection procedures for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai through Pudong International Airport has exceeded 90000.
While air passenger flow continues to rise, the recovery momentum of international cruise tourism continues to stabilize and improve. During the summer vacation, the Pujiang Border Inspection Station of Shanghai Border Inspection Station inspected more than 23000 tourists traveling by cruise ship to pass through the "sea summer". The number of cruise ships entering and exiting through Wusongkou International Cruise Port and Shanghai Port International Passenger Transport Center Port reached 37 times.
In order to maintain national political security and overall stability at ports, during this year's summer travel rush, Shanghai border inspection agencies carried out in-depth summer security crackdowns and crackdowns, severely cracking down on various cross-border illegal and criminal activities at ports. Since July, more than 100 suspected cross-border illegal and criminal personnel have been investigated and dealt with at ports, solidly strengthening the national security defense line.
