The monthly container transportation volume of 4.318 million TEU, Shanghai Port set another record

In July this year, the typhoon "fireworks" had an impact on the production of the Shanghai Port terminal for nearly a week, and more than 150 container ships were in urgent need of berthing. The leaders of the group led all functional departments, container terminal companies, and production service guarantee companies in Hong Kong to fully defend against typhoons and prepare for the safe resumption of production. After the typhoon, the battle of "preventing epidemics, ensuring safety, and promoting production" was quickly launched. Through upper and lower linkages, regional collaboration, and active preparations, the "dual drive" of energy and efficiency in Hong Kong increased, and container production reached new highs in August.

The container throughput of Shanghai Port in August reached 4.318 million TEU, setting a single-month production record. On August 19, it broke the single day and night container transportation record with 158858TEU, and the first shift set a record of 60430TEU single shift.

The container terminal companies in each area worked hard and broke records in August: Yidong Branch had a delivery volume of 15,692TEU day and night on August 14th. On August 19, the transportation volume of Hudong Company reached 15,903 TEU day and night, and the monthly transportation volume reached 400,000 TEU. The three container terminal companies in the Yangshan area have achieved impressive results. The monthly transportation volume of Shengdong Company reached 825,000 TEU; the monthly transportation volume of Guandong Company reached 730,000 TEU; the monthly transportation volume of Shangdong Branch reached 550,000 TEU. , And broke the day and night transportation records with 21809TEU and 22236TEU on August 19 and 21, respectively.

Under the superimposed influence of the continuous escalation of epidemic prevention and control, the continuous high-level operation of the overall production rhythm, and the adverse weather, setting a production record is like a "boat sailing against the current." SIPG unleashes management efficiency, strengthens internal potential, and improves production efficiency. All employees in Hong Kong have worked hard and sweated to make the impossible possible.

Keep the port smooth, keep both hands on epidemic prevention and production

Grasp the establishment of new regulations for epidemic prevention, and build a strong line of defense against epidemics on the water. The development of the epidemic has entered a new trend, and the port is also the dual responsibility of national epidemic prevention and control and the maintenance of key nodes in the global supply chain. Epidemic prevention and maintenance are the key to normalization of port production at the present and the next stage. Gu Jinshan, secretary of the group’s party committee and chairman, gave instructions to the group’s epidemic prevention and production, and timely held a new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control work meeting, fully implemented the national, municipal party committee and municipal government’s epidemic prevention requirements, and formulated the Shanghai SIPG Group‘s outbreak of new crown pneumonia The epidemic response plan implements closed-loop management or closed management of high-risk ports such as boarding operators.

Increase the capacity and increase the capacity and efficiency of loading and unloading. Since last year, the Group has launched a new round of plans for the increase and expansion of cranes and yards in the port area, and actively promotes management efficiency, which has comprehensively improved the loading and unloading capacity and efficiency of the terminal. In the three years from 2020 to 2022, 5 bridge cranes and corresponding backyard machinery will be added every year. The five cranes added by Shangdong Branch last year have already been put into production. This year, Shangdong Branch and Shengdong Company will add cranes to further promote the production level of the terminal to a new level. At the end of 2020, the new storage capacity of 200,000 TEUs of empty containers has been formed, and the number of freezer sockets has doubled. The group has further initiated the construction of the Yangshan empty container yard and heavy container yard to expand the capacity of the yard and maintain a smooth port. District production turnover.

Increase management efficiency and increase the utilization rate of terminal resources. Promote the potential of the home port. Between the Waigaoqiao Hudong and Mingdong Wharves, and between the Yangshan Shengdong and Guandong Wharves, a "shared storage yard" operation mode of adjacent wharves has been formed, which further improves the utilization level of the operation resources of the wharf storage yard. Under the background of the integration of the Long Triangle Port, promote regional coordination and actively guide the import and export cargo of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Long Triangle inland port to carry out "regional consolidation" in the Taicang Port invested by the group, effectively reducing the feeder barge in Shanghai Port. The multi-point berthing and berthing time of the wharf realizes the further improvement of the utilization efficiency of the wharf shoreline and storage yard of Shanghai Port under the condition of limited production resources.

Serving shipping, ensuring the delivery of capacity and the stability of ship schedules

Coordinate the schedule window resources, and effectively guide the export space of newly opened routes to Shanghai Port. This year, Shanghai Port will further coordinate the shoreline and schedule window resources of the entire port, strengthen strategic cooperation with shipping companies, and work together to create high-efficiency and high-quality line services by quantifying the service quality indicators of the two parties and clarifying specific service commitments. . This measure provides support for the shipping companies‘ new capacity and new routes, and ensures the needs of export customers with key, high schedule and timeliness requirements.

Optimize the ship planning mode, improve the guarantee of ship schedules, and speed up the turnover of ships. In the first half of the year, the Group‘s Yangshan port area‘s ship plan was upgraded from 48 hours to 72 hours, which improved the predictability of port ship operation arrangements, the coordinated utilization of shorelines and mechanical resources, and effectively improved the direct availability of shipping companies. In response to the peak demand for transshipment between Yangshan and Outer Port during certain periods, Shanghai Port realized normalized operation of trunk/branch line piggybacking in the first half of the year, using trunk and branch line ships and surplus space resources for piggybacking and transshipment, effectively guaranteeing exports Timeliness for customers’ transit connections; In response to the opening of ships in windy weather, in the first half of the year, the company strengthened strategic cooperation with the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration, which effectively improved the navigation efficiency of container ships in Shanghai Port.

Promote the Taicang Service Center to improve the transit time of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and inland rivers. In March this year, Shanghai Port established the Taicang Service Center, and promoted the capacity increase of the "Taishen Express" special line transshipment barge and the 24-hour transshipment commitment, which effectively improved the timeliness and stability of customer transshipment. With the promotion of the Taicang Service Center, the major ports on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Anji Inland River Port on the Yangtze River, which originally connected the business of sea-going ships to Yangshan in the Waigaoqiao area, were transferred to Taicang Port for trial operation. Taking the Anji barge as an example, the pilot transfer time in Taicang was shortened by more than ten hours compared with the transfer in Waigaoqiao.

Revitalize container resources and help the construction of hub ports

Strengthen the capacity of empty container resource allocation, and establish an empty container dispatch center for Northeast Asia in Shanghai Port. The group has formed in-depth strategic joint venture cooperation with four shipping companies: Maersk, CMA CGM, Mediterranean, and Evergreen. Based on the resources of Yangshan Deepwater Port, the Group leverages the innovative advantages of policies and systems in the new Lingang area to build an empty container dispatch center for Northeast Asia in Shanghai Port. Construct a reservoir for domestic and international empty container transportation, solve the seasonal shortage of containers caused by the imbalance of import and export containers, guide and improve the empty container operation mechanism, accelerate the efficiency of empty container turnover in the port, and provide services for Shanghai‘s local exports, inland rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River. Coastal business provides strong guarantee of empty container resources.

Speed ​​up the timeliness of empty container clearance, and fully implement the paperless declaration of empty containers in and out of the country. With the strong support of Shanghai Customs and the joint promotion of both customs and ports, Shanghai Customs has set up a special window for empty container manifest changes. Shanghai Port has fully implemented the paperless declaration of empty containers in and out of the country, and enterprises can send them through the information system for quick inspection and release. It replaces the original paper work, and can complete the electronic declaration and quick inspection and release of empty boxes for entry and exit without leaving home. After the paperless declaration of empty containers, the journey time for enterprises to declare to and from the port is greatly saved. The overall customs clearance time of empty containers for import and export is shortened by 1-2 days, which effectively speeds up the turnover of empty containers at Shanghai Port and reduces the storage pressure of empty containers at the port. .

Promote the ICT service model and accelerate the turnover efficiency of heavy and empty containers in the Long Triangle area. For export enterprises in the Changjiang Triangle area, the group integrates "water-rail-public" logistics channel resources, innovates and promotes the ICT (inland container hub) service model, and develops customized "water-iron-based, road supplement" in line with customer needs Precise service. Logistics processes such as delivery of heavy containers to ports, empty container transportation, emptying and reloading are included in the scope of integration, which improves the resource utilization efficiency of various logistics methods (ship space, railway wagons, truck driving), and continues to accelerate the long triangle area Turnover of empty and heavy containers.
