According to data, the cargo throughput of monitored ports across the country was 31.768 million tons, a month-on-month increase of 2.1%. Unlike railway transport cargo, which fell by 1.45% month-on-month, the cargo throughput of ports has increased significantly. The reason behind this is due to the new measures formulated by the Ministry of Transport. In order to ensure the efficient operation of ports and smooth waterways, the Ministry of Transport has formulated 11 measures to strengthen water transportation, which has contributed to the improvement of port logistics efficiency. made important contributions.
Relevant personnel said that in the first half of 2022, the average loading and unloading time at national port terminals was 1.08 days. Although the efficiency is already at a leading level in the world, considering the huge volume of port logistics and the large-scale accommodation The Ministry of Transport believes that there is still room for improvement in this efficiency. Therefore, the National Development and Reform Commission jointly formulated a new charging standard. This measure is mainly to reduce the logistics costs of shipping companies and help shipping companies overcome the difficulties together in special times. The adjustment of charging standards has also promoted the cargo throughput of shipping logistics.
From the data point of view, my country's port cargo throughput in the first half of the year reached 5.56 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%, while the newly built Yangtze Three Gorges and Xijiang Changzhou cargo throughput increased by 8% year-on-year. The upward trend is due to the fact that the Ministry of Transport has proposed water transport management measures for key ports, which have alleviated problems such as water transport concentration and channel blockage. In particular, the Ministry of Transport has also given targeted measures for ship lock operations. Improvement opinions play a key role in improving efficiency and smooth operation, and thus achieve an increase in throughput and the release of standard container positions.
Currently, the cargo throughput of monitored ports across the country has improved significantly month-on-month. The operation is basically stable and orderly, and the key indicators remain normal and good. In the second half of 2022, the Ministry of Transport will continue to improve the efficiency of water transportation. With improvements and adjustments made, the port’s cargo throughput is expected to be further improved.
