Recently, at the container yard in Qianwan Port Area of Qingdao Port, an electric overhead crane silently arranged the containers neatly. At the site of the widening project of the Shugang Elevated Road several hundred meters away, the last section of the ramp is pouring concrete. When the whistle of the giant ship berthing resonates with the pulse of the cloud data flow at the same frequency, the transformation of this century old port has extended from physical space to the digital dimension.

Elevated Feihong connects the Shugang artery

The total investment of the Shugang Elevated Road Expansion Project exceeds 640 million yuan, seamlessly connecting the Qianwan Port Area with the second underwater tunnel of Jiaozhou Bay and the surrounding logistics park through three major connecting channels. The project will be fully completed within the year, which will fully release the traffic pressure in the port area and significantly reduce the unit logistics cost. Since its operation in July 2025, the Northeast Asia delivery logistics hub has accumulated a port volume of nearly 100000 TEUs, becoming a key buffer to ensure supply chain resilience during peak logistics periods.

Cloud Port Platform compresses container pickup to five minutes

The Yungangtong platform developed by Shandong Port and Qingdao Port has integrated data from ports, customs, maritime, and shipping companies. The container handling procedure has been shortened from half a day to 5 minutes, and the intelligent inspection platform has increased logistics turnover efficiency by 35%. The combined port transfer mode has reduced the cost of a single container by 20%. The multimodal transport digital single order cross-border alliance network uses blockchain technology to build a trusted service alliance, with a financing amount exceeding 90 million yuan by 2025. The 103 vehicle international road transportation business has verified the feasibility of the risk control mode of releasing goods based on the bill of lading.

Electric stacker crane reduces carbon emissions by nearly 100 tons annually

In the near zero carbon green yard, 13 electric front cranes and 10 electric stacker cranes have replaced traditional fuel equipment, saving 30 tons of diesel and reducing carbon emissions by 95 tons per unit per year. The double cantilever automated track crane achieves equipment lightweighting and permanent magnet motor energy saving, and the energy consumption is further reduced by one level after the water cooling system replaces air conditioning. The world's first port service model, Ark TaaS, has served over 4100 enterprises in 29 provinces. Qingdao Port is moving from the ocean of containers to the ocean of data and services.Editor/Gao Xue
