European and American charter voyages can ship nearly 10,000 TEUs every month
Since this year, due to a series of factors such as the COVID-19 epidemic, Suez Canal congestion, and foreign market turmoil, international shipping has been in short supply. Due to the serious shortage of container space, coupled with the recent occasional domestic epidemic and the upgrade of epidemic prevention in South China ports, major European and American route hub ports such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen continue to be clogged with ports, and berthing ships are seriously jumping from the port. Shipping prices continue to rise, which has a certain impact on the global supply chain. Some international buyers have to find another way to charter foreign trade ocean-going bulk cargo or container ships in whole, using new containers from CIMC and Fuhua and some leased containers to load export goods for export, in order to maintain their own efficient and economical supply chain. system.
In this regard, Dongguan Port Group continues to pay attention to the development of the market situation and changes in customer needs, promptly seizes market opportunities, and actively cooperates with agents, charterers, shipowners, shipping agencies, container source companies, etc. of international buyers such as Wal-Mart, Amazon, and Home Depot. We have communicated with multiple parties, integrated Dongguan Port Phase I, II and III terminal resources to provide customers with integrated services and introduced European and American chartered direct shipping routes, covering Europe, the Mediterranean, Canada, the United States and other countries and regions.
Since the European and American charter routes also involve many 53-foot non-standard containers, and most of the ships are multi-purpose ships, which require high loading and unloading services at the terminal, the loading and unloading plan was carefully discussed at the terminal site. According to the fact that some 53-foot containers do not have standard lifting points If the paint on the box is easy to wear out, etc., the operation process should be adjusted in a timely manner, the wire rope suspension lock and hook should be used for operation, and the forklift should be simply modified to ensure smooth and safe operation.
reporters learned that European and American charter shipping routes will effectively alleviate the problems of slow logistics timeliness and high costs caused by foreign trade companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area due to port congestion, ship jumping, and difficulties in picking up and returning boxes. As Dongguan Port continues to intensify its chartered voyages to Europe and the United States, it is expected to be able to ship nearly 10,000 TEUs of cargo to designated ports in Europe and the United States every month. In the future, Dongguan Port will continue to be committed to providing convenient import and export service channels for foreign trade enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, improving the logistics timeliness and reducing logistics costs of local enterprises, constantly enriching the foreign trade container route network, and further supporting Dongguan Port's comprehensive connection with the international market.
The first batch of 10*20' and 59*40' Huawei projects has been successfully operated from Dongguan Port.
The barge express service ensures the normal operation of the supply chain of Dongguan enterprises.
Recently, while strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control, Dongguan Port has actively used its own resources and The location advantage provides more convenient and reliable logistics channels for surrounding companies and solves the practical difficulties of companies picking up and returning containers with trailers.
In June this year, Dongguan Port actively cooperated with Nansha, Shekou, and Yantian to launch WGO barge express services for Nansha, Shekou, and Yantian, replacing the original trailer pick-up and return solution with barges, and using sluices from Nansha, Shekou, and Yantian Picking up and returning containers reduces the original trailer logistics costs and ensures that containers can successfully catch up with the ship.
When there was severe congestion in trailer pickup and return containers at surrounding ports and land freight soared to three to four times the basic freight rate, it effectively ensured that many local companies represented by Huawei, TCL, Xinyi, CSG, and VTech The company's supply chain operates normally and has achieved good social benefits.
Next, focusing on Dongguan City’s current goal of promoting high-quality development of foreign economy and trade, Dongguan Port Group will actively focus on the strategic layout of “seaport + airport + commercial port” and implement the “3+9” action plan to extend the port industry chain, Strengthen the port supply chain, enhance the port value chain, build a comprehensive business service enterprise with the port supply chain as the core, build an international open city for Dongguan, create a modern hub city that links domestic and international dual circulation, and promote the "Bay Area City" Demonstrating greater achievements, the construction of "Quality Dongguan" has reached a new level.
