In the past month, Shanghai's current round of epidemic prevention and control has achieved phased results. At present, Shanghai is steadily promoting the resumption of work and production of key industrial enterprises. Shanghai Port carries the important function of connecting domestic and international markets. In order to cope with the series of challenges brought by this round of epidemic, Shanghai International Shipping Center has played an important role as an international port, domestic and international industries. Chain supply chain central node and other core functional roles, to ensure the smooth flow of "aorta" and "microcirculation" of highways, railways, waterways, and aviation integrated logistics.

"Water-to-water transfer" reduces personnel contact and ensures smooth logistics channels

During the current round of the epidemic, in order to ensure the smooth operation of various functions of the port, Shanghai Port dispatched personnel to enter the port area in advance, with more than 20,000 people attending the port. At present, the passage and operation of ships are normal, and container ships can operate in a reliable port within an average of 36 hours after arriving at the port.

Tu Weifeng, deputy director of the Port Supervision Office of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Communications and head of the comprehensive team of the Shanghai Port Epidemic Prevention Special Class Office, said, "The proportion of our water transfer has been increasing during this period, and it can reach 65% in April. That is to say, a large number of containers come and go from the water, which reduces the unnecessary contact of some personnel and ensures the smooth flow of the entire logistics channel."

Recently, the Shanghai Port Management Committee Office has actively played the role of regional port and shipping coordination, strengthened the daily scheduling contact with the transportation authorities in the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta, coordinated and ensured the smooth flow of inland waterways in the Yangtze River Delta, strengthened communication with key shipping companies, and actively coordinated ports. Navigation and maritime management units, open up green channels, and ensure the release of ship capacity.

"Sea-rail combined transport" eases the pressure of road transportation and ensures the supply demand of the industrial chain

Shanghai has also ensured the safety and smooth flow of the economic "arteries" by means of "sea-rail combined transport". From March to April, 961 sea-rail intermodal trains were operated in Shanghai's sea-rail intermodal transportation, with a business volume of 93,000 standard containers (teu), a year-on-year increase of 37%.

Affected by the epidemic, the transportation of goods by road in the Yangtze River Delta has been hindered. In order to ensure the transportation of key materials, the Office of the Shanghai Port Management Committee, under the leadership of the Ministry of Transport, actively plays the role of regional port and shipping coordination, gives full play to the advantages of the well-developed water network in the Yangtze River Delta, and promotes related projects. The unit actively carried out the "revolution to water" service, increased the proportion of "river-sea combined transport" and "rail-water combined transport" to ease the pressure on road transportation.

The sea-rail combined transportation business volume of Luchao Port Central Station accounts for 90% of the business volume in Shanghai. Most of the containers entering and leaving the station are related to the import and export business. A large number of trucks need to enter and leave the station for loading and unloading operations to ensure the industry of guaranteeing the supply of materials. The chain is stable. Wang Mingwei, executive deputy general manager of Shanghai Luchao Port Railway Container Center Station, told reporters: "Since April, the average daily loading and unloading of wagons has reached 880, and the monthly container transportation volume has exceeded 50,000 TEUs."

The airport and port departments work together to ensure the safe and normal operation of the international shipping center

Shanghai's airport and port departments have also launched a series of measures to ensure the safe and normal operation of the Shanghai International Shipping Center and the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain. On April 30, the five customs offices directly under the Yangtze River Delta region, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Hefei, issued a joint notice to ensure the safety and smoothness of the industrial chain and supply chain in the Yangtze River Delta region and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

The latest statistics show that Shanghai Pudong Airport guarantees more than 100 cargo flights per day. In the last week, Shanghai Pudong Airport’s average daily cargo and mail throughput was 3,972 tons, cargo and mail pickup and departure volume was 2,173 tons, and trucks entered and exited 3,339 times. Compared with the beginning of April, They were increased by 37%, 170%, and 39%, respectively.

At present, while the two major airports in Shanghai are strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control measures, flight take-offs and landings and ground support are operating normally, and cargo operations and support capabilities are stable. In addition, Shanghai ports and airports continue to strengthen the coordination mechanism for customs clearance and port clearance, continue to promote the smooth flow of traffic, and continue to make every effort to ensure the normal operation of the Shanghai International Shipping Center. Li Li of the ninth team on duty at the Shanghai Airport Frontier Inspection Station of the Shanghai General Inspection Station said that he will use the power of science and technology to actively open a green channel for the urgently needed materials for the resumption of work and production of enterprises, and assist airlines in restoring capacity.
