Shanghai works on improving logistics efficiency amid Covid disruptions

Author:   Posttime:2022-04-29

SHANGHAI has been working to improve logistics efficiency and continuing to play its role as an international shipping centre amid challenges caused by the resurgence of Covid-19.

A set of measures have been taken to ensure smooth cargo flow. For example, Shanghai has been promoting contactless transportation of bulk cargo, while it launched services to enable more enterprises to transfer containers by water instead of road, due to the slowdown of road transport, reports Xinhua.
Deputy general manager of Cosco Shipping Lines (Shanghai) Co, Ltd, Yuan Hao, said more than 120 ships of the company have docked at Shanghai port to load and unload cargo since late March.
According to statistics released by the city late last week, the water-water transfer of 2.12 million TEU of containers was completed at Shanghai port in March, up 17.1 per cent from the previous month. Since April, the average daily arrival of sea-rail combined transport was 1,670 TEU, up 25.8 per cent from the first quarter.
In April, the container throughput of Shanghai port has exceeded 100,000 TEU per day; Shanghai's two major airports have seen an inbound and outbound cargo volume of over 80,000 tonnes and an average daily cargo volume of about 3,500 tonnes; the city's Pudong airport has facilitated 2,309 flights for freight transport, with a daily average of about 100 flights.
According to the Shanghai Airport Authority, in order to meet the needs of certain enterprises that just resumed production, Shanghai Pudong International Airport has offered online services to improve customs inspection efficiency and guarantee the timely transportation of important production materials such as electronic components and auto parts.
