About us

The Sino-US trade war has brought uncertainties to the world economy. Jiang Wei, director of Ningbo Zhoushan Port Co., Ltd., said that he is closely watching the progress of Sino-US trade wars. From the data of the first half of the year, the company has achieved operating income and profits. The double-digit growth has no obvious impact. In the second half of the year, the international trade situation is complicated and the variables will increase. However, the company's board of directors has not lowered the relevant indicators formulated at the beginning of the year. He said that the company will respond to the trade war by deepening the expansion of the "Belt and Road", promoting integration, deepening the "water and water transfer" location advantage, and improving container service levels.

As of August this year, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has established trade routes with more than 600 ports in more than 100 countries and regions, and opened 254 container channels. From the perspective of route distribution, the US routes of mainland ports are mainly concentrated in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Ningbo and other places. “Meidong and Meishi are the lines where the traditional freight volume of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo is concentrated, accounting for about 15% of the total container volume. Because the related taxable goods have not been confirmed, some taxable goods are not necessarily imported from Zhejiang.” Jiang Wei said that he believes that efforts will reduce the impact.

Southeast Asia route increased by 15% in the first half of the year

At present, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has been increasing the number of flights to the European and Southeast Asian countries along the “Belt and Road”. In 2013, the “One Belt, One Road” strategy was proposed. The Southeast Asian route has increased by about 50%, and the number of containers has doubled. In the first half of this year, the Southeast Asian route maintained a 15% growth.

In addition, Jiang Wei also said that the Christmas orders for Yiwu small commodities were generally normal and orderly, and were not particularly affected by the trade war. In the first half of this year, the container handling volume of Yiwu Lugang completed 373,000 TEUs, an increase of 6.3% year-on-year. With the construction of the Jinjin Railway, it will greatly ease the high-speed and dense container shipping of the sheet metal, and the dry port transport capacity of Yiwu small commodities will be greatly enhanced.

Full coverage of the “leading” national port

Jiang Wei said, “Ningbo Zhoushan Port is striving to create the best combination of 'One Belt, One Road'. Since the substantial integration process of Ningbo Zhoushan Port, press the 'Open button', our 'friend circle' has expanded. Currently, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has established a friendly port with nearly 20 ports along the 'Belt and Road', and has opened nearly 90 “One Belt, One Road” routes. The annual flight has risen to 5,000 classes, and all of them have covered the 'One Belt, One Road' national port. The number of flights, compared with 3,650 classes per year in 2013, is now 5,000 classes per year, an increase of 37%.

Yangtze River Delta Foreign Trade Boosts Port Development

The Yangtze River Delta relies on Shanghai Port and Ningbo Zhoushan Port, two deep-water ports, both of which are located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is very beneficial to cities with manufacturing-oriented industries in the vast hinterland to transport products at low transportation costs and participate in global trade. The triangle is also the fastest growing area for cross-border e-commerce. According to statistics, the total value of imports and exports of goods in the Mainland in the first half of 2018 was 14.12 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of 7.9% over the same period last year. Among them, there are 5 provinces and cities with total trade exceeding 1 trillion yuan, namely Guangdong Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai, Zhejiang Province and Beijing. The total import and export volume totals 9.52 trillion yuan, accounting for 67.5% of the total import and export of goods. .

Ningbo Zhoushan Port intensified its efforts to expand the “One Belt and One Road” and actively respond to the Sino-US trade war

Facing the rapid development of global trade in the Yangtze River Delta, Zhejiang Province has taken the lead in completing port integration. At present, Ningbo Zhoushan Port shares can coordinate the coastal resources of the province. Jiang Wei said that integration has realized the integration of resources in personnel, assets and operations, eliminating vicious competition and horizontal competition, and rationally dividing and coordinating existing assets. In the future, the development space of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo will be even bigger.

The data shows that after the integration of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo, the proportion of Ningbo Port Area and Zhoushan Port Area has changed significantly. In 2017, the throughput was 1 billion tons, Ningbo Port Area was 55%, and Zhoushan Port Area was 45%. In the first half of this year, Ningbo Port The domain is 53% and the Zhoushan Port area is 47%. In terms of bulk cargo, Zhoushan has developed rapidly, and its deep-water shoreline and water-water transfer capacity are relatively strong. Taking the 400,000-ton Zanglang Lake ore transfer terminal as an example, in 2016, the iron ore was 7.31 million tons, doubled in 2017, and reached 12.7 million tons in the first half of this year.

“Now the 400,000-ton ore ship in Zhoushan Port of Ningbo has become a normalized berth. The ore transfer and crude oil transfer will become the new growth pole of the large bulk cargo of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo. We have already carried out strategic cooperation with the Vale of Brazil and plan to put the rat wave. The lake played a 'flowing mine'." Jiang Wei said.
