On the afternoon of May 11, the State Council Information Office held a regular policy briefing.
At the meeting, Li Guoping, safety director of the Ministry of Transport, said that in order to ensure the smooth flow of logistics, the Ministry of Transport organized the closure of ports, terminals and waterway locks for self-inspection and self-correction to effectively ensure the smooth flow of transportation channels.
At the same time, we will strengthen thematic dispatch in key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, etc., organize the implementation of full-chain closed-loop management of Shanghai Port truck trucks, and implement the implementation of comprehensive management of Shanghai Port, Shanghai Pudong Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and other key hubs. Track and dispatch to ensure smooth collection and distribution of key hubs.
With the joint efforts of various regions and departments, problems such as blocked freight logistics have been initially alleviated, and the main logistics operating indicators continue to improve.
When answering questions about the operation of Shanghai Port, Li Guoping said that at present, Shanghai Port ships are receiving and unloading normally, production is growing steadily, collection and distribution transportation is recovering smoothly and orderly, and the hub function is operating well.
In April, Shanghai Port completed a container throughput of 3.085 million TEUs, which was 82.4% in the same period last year. The container throughput has returned to 80% of last year. From January to April, a total of 15.348 million TEUs were completed, a year-on-year increase of 1.8%. Since May, the container throughput of Shanghai Port has continued to maintain a good momentum of restorative growth.
Li Guoping further stated that Shanghai Port is the largest container port in my country, and ensuring the normal operation of Shanghai Port is an important link in ensuring the smooth and stable logistics supply chain. In order to ensure the smooth flow of freight in Shanghai Port, the Ministry of Transport has taken the following active measures:
The first is to establish a special team to ensure smooth water transportation.
Carry out daily dispatching for Shanghai Port, strengthen regional linkage, adhere to "one matter, one coordination, one matter one handling", and make every effort to coordinate and ensure the smooth operation of Shanghai Port.
The second is to make every effort to ensure all-weather operations of the port.
Before Shanghai's regional lockdown, Shanghai Port arranged for 20,000 employees and operators to station in the port in advance to implement closed-loop management and maintain 24-hour uninterrupted operations.
In view of the operating characteristics of Shanghai Port during the epidemic, measures have been taken to strengthen the storage rate of reefer containers and dangerous goods containers and destock, and the port's storage capacity and operating efficiency have been maintained at a good level.
The third is to ensure the shipping capacity of Shanghai Port’s foreign trade routes.
Guide liner companies such as COSCO Shipping Group to increase investment in flights and space for routes calling at Shanghai Port, and increase the amount of space available for online booking in the spot market, so that container capacity and space can be adequately guaranteed.
The fourth is to gradually unblock highways for collection and distribution.
The SIPG electronic epidemic prevention passes were promptly promoted and applied, and more than 800,000 of them have been issued so far. Coordinate in a timely manner to solve the problem of poor circulation of collection cards. At present, the number of container truck arrivals at Shanghai Port has risen sharply to more than 20,000.
The fifth is to accelerate the "public to water" and "public to railway" reforms.
Give full play to the advantages of the water network in the Yangtze River Delta region, coordinate inland river ports and railway freight stations, and guide the increase in feeder ship and railway transport frequency.
In April, Shanghai Port's "water-to-water transshipment" accounted for 65% of port collection and distribution, an increase of 13.5 percentage points from March. This means that part of the original collection and distribution volume of container trucks has now been transferred to "water-to-water transit".
In the next step, the Ministry of Transport will continue to strengthen dispatch guidance in key areas, continue to promote the implementation of various key institutional measures, do a good job in tracking and ensuring the industrial chain and supply chain, implement relief and problem-solving policies, and ensure smooth and orderly transportation and logistics, in order to stabilize The economy stabilizes the industrial and supply chains and provides strong support and guarantee.
