Since the beginning of this year, Nanjing Port has deepened cooperation with COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers, achieving breakthroughs in direct ocean routes and stabilizing scheduled services to the Middle East and South America. Building on the Yangshan Express service, the company launched and increased frequency of Waigaoqiao Express service to three times per week, with export loading rates averaging over 95%. The brand influence of the premium Nanjing-Shanghai express service continues to grow.
The port actively overcame the impact of tariffs on exports by comprehensively surveying markets in the Nanjing metropolitan area and surrounding regions. For strategic customers in white goods and photovoltaic sectors, it provided value-added logistics services including transportation, storage, and containerization for export products. Leveraging joint operation advantages, the port attracted bulk cargo sources such as malt, sulfur, borax, and copper concentrate for transshipment through Nanjing. The company promoted the expansion and efficiency improvement of the "single document" system for dangerous goods and enhanced inspection and clearance efficiency for imported meat products, continuously improving the port's specialized service capabilities.
Meanwhile, the port accelerated production capacity construction across various terminals, strengthened hardware configuration, and refined organizational management, continuously improving comprehensive service quality and efficiency.
