In the third quarter of this year, Nanjing Port Co.,Ltd. deepened its commitment to customer service principles, focusing on "battling high temperatures, boosting output, and ensuring safety." The company strengthened its six long-term mechanisms, significantly improving production organization and management efficiency. Both cargo throughput and billing container volume increased by 20% year-on-year, demonstrating a stable, efficient, and high-performing development trend, laying a solid foundation for achieving its annual goals.
**Business Expansion and Synergized Operations Drive Growth** Nanjing Port Co.,Ltd. continued to diversify its business types and optimize operational processes, fostering new growth areas. Its three major sectors—containers, liquid cargo, and bulk cargo—advanced in parallel, each showcasing distinct advantages. In August, the company successfully launched its first Arctic route, shortening the voyage distance by approximately 3,200 nautical miles and reducing round-trip time by 20 days compared to traditional routes via the Suez Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope. This significantly cuts transportation time and operational costs, accelerating the port’s transformation from an inland hub to an international shipping hub.
In September, the company inaugurated the Yangkou Port "Yangtai" container route, linking key coastal ports in Jiangsu with core riverine hubs. Fixed schedules ensured stable service frequency, offering cost-effective "land-to-water" logistics solutions for inland enterprises. By late September, Nanjing Port completed its first "explosive materials" shipment, opening a new Yangtze River transport channel for specialized cargo and injecting momentum into deep-sea shipping and regional foreign trade.
At the sulfuric acid phase-II project site, Tao Depeng, deputy manager of the production operations department, explained, "Since April, we have prioritized on-site market assurance, enhancing production capacity and optimizing sulfuric acid unloading processes to accommodate multiple vessels simultaneously. The phase-II project was successfully operational by late August, significantly boosting storage and turnover efficiency."
Collaborative operations further fueled growth, with innovative multimodal transport models like container-bulk integration improving efficiency for copper concentrate and fertilizer shipments. Tianyu Company, focusing on "fertilizer+" and steel-specific cargo, developed specialized lifting tools and training programs, rapidly expanding its breakbulk market by handling three major vessels consecutively.
**Scientific Scheduling Ensures Smooth Operations and Record Efficiency** From July to September, Nanjing Port reduced post-rain resumption time by 8.11% year-on-year and improved key vessel handling efficiency by 4.02%. Container volumes hit record highs, surging 24%, 12.76%, and 26.96% year-on-year, respectively.
Despite challenges from extreme weather, the port implemented precise scheduling and strict "23-hour dynamic operation time" management, optimizing labor and resource allocation. The "single-vessel responsibility system" ensured efficient coordination for each ship, maintaining smooth operations.
To motivate staff, labor competitions centered on efficiency, safety, and service quality fostered a culture of excellence. Tugboat operations expanded market reach, achieving breakthroughs in quartz sand transport and energizing the Yangtze River Delta’s new energy supply chain.
**Service Upgrades and Lower Logistics Costs** Customer-centric improvements included 39 optimized processes across pre-operation preparation, cargo quality, and equipment management from July to September. Jiangbei Container Company promoted high-efficiency models like "dual-container unloading" and streamlined port clearance, reducing overall logistics costs.
Xinshengwei Company established a "one-stop" service center and dedicated vessel managers, ensuring 24/7 responsiveness. Zhongli Company earned CNAS certification, enabling "one inspection, global clearance" for trade clients, slashing time and costs.
As the year’s final quarter unfolds, Nanjing Port Co.,Ltd. is rallying its workforce to maximize efficiency and service quality, driving high-quality development with unwavering determination.
