The "ship king" is here
Yangshan Border Inspection Station and other port inspection units work closely with port and shipping companies to ensure the safe docking and efficient operation of the "ship king". It is reported that the "Changyi" ship will complete the operation of more than 3,700 TEUs during its berth at Yangshan Port and then sail to Ningbo Port.
The new king of ships breaks through the carrying limit of a single container
In the past, the carrying limit of container ships was 24,000 standard containers. In recent years, under the influence of multiple factors such as the improvement of ship design and construction technology and the increase in demand for international trade, within the ultimate strength range of the current hull structure of 400 meters long and 62 meters wide, a single ship can load more containers and berth. The ship king of Yangshan Deep Water Port is constantly iteratively updated.
From the "Mediterranean Gurzon" ship in July 2019, to the "Modern Algeciras " ship in May 2020, and then to the "Changfan" ship in August 2021, the maximum load capacity of a single ship The container volume ranges from 23,756 to 23,964 to 23,992, constantly sprinting towards the carrying limit of 24,000. Today, the "Changyi" ship built by Hudong Zhonghua, which can load 24,004 TEUs, arrived at the port. At the same time, a container ship that can load 24,100 TEUs is also under construction. The ceiling of single-ship capacity is gradually being broken.
Yangshan Port shows a trend of "frequent arrivals and departures" of large ships
The COVID-19 epidemic has brought an unexpected boom to the global container shipping market. Freight rates have increased and profits have increased, but ship prices have hardly increased. Major shipping companies that have made a lot of money have ordered new ships and increased shipping capacity.
In recent years, the 24,000-TEU container ship has been placed on the order list of shipbuilding companies. Evergreen Marine Corp. alone has ordered 15 ships. Shanghai shipbuilding companies such as Hudong Zhonghua and Jiangnan Shipbuilding have successively won orders. Production Order.
As these ships are put into operation one after another, as one of the few ports in the world that can berth giant ships of this level, Yangshan Deepwater Port has seen large ships coming and going frequently. According to statistics, since April this year, the first and second phases of the Yangshan terminal have completed the berthing tasks of 40 "long" large cargo ships.
Multiple measures have been taken to improve the port's navigation and transportation capabilities.
In order to welcome the upgraded version of the "Era of Giant Ships", Yangshan Port has jointly promoted software and hardware upgrades to improve the ship docking environment and enhance the port's collection and transportation capabilities.
In recent years, Yangshan Port terminal operating companies have added new bridge cranes and tire cranes. Among them, the largest bridge crane has a total width of 153 meters, which still has room to adapt to the current widest ship type. At the same time, CCCC Shipping is advancing the channel maintenance and dredging project in an orderly manner, improving ship navigation conditions in the waters of Yangshan Phase I to Phase IV port, and ensuring normal production operations in the Yangshan Port Area.
On June 16 this year, Shanghai and Zhejiang officially signed the framework agreement for the northern region of Xiaoyangshan Island to further deepen the cooperative development of the Xiaoyangshan region, further enhance the water-water transport capacity, and strive to build an international hub center for river-sea combined transport. On June 25, Jiaxing East-Shanghai Yangshan Port opened a sea-rail intermodal container train line, realizing a one-stop service of "arrival at the station" for goods, and further expanding the sea-rail intermodal transport channel.
Full-process service for customs clearance needs in the era of large ships
In order to adapt to the characteristics of large container ships, such as large ships, heavy tonnage, and high operating efficiency requirements, Yangshan Border Inspection Station actively coordinates epidemic prevention and control and smooth customs clearance, and serves the large-ship economy throughout the process.
First, simplify customs clearance procedures. Since the "Changyi" wheel series has moved foreign ships to berth at domestic ports, Yangshan Border Inspection Station has implemented a series of measures by the National Immigration Administration to facilitate the production and operation of enterprises, exempting them from immigration procedures and ensuring that ships can be loaded and unloaded after arriving at the port. .
The second is to ensure work safety.In response to the demand for intensive entry of people and vehicles after large ships arrive at the port, the station uses the Eagle Eye system and the ladder entrance intelligent monitoring system to strengthen the management of the ship's outer stalls and ladder entrances, increase the intensity of patrols in the restricted areas of the port, and prevent irrelevant personnel from boarding the ship and the ship from taking off. Reliable and provide a safe operating environment for ships.
The third is service operation and maintenance requirements. We will follow up on various operation and maintenance needs during the ship's docking period in advance, provide "on-demand" services for relevant navigation maintenance and fuel refueling companies and personnel, and issue administrative licenses for boarding and docking foreign ships through the Internet to ensure that The ship’s subsequent navigation is safe.
