On the construction site of Luoyu operation area by Meizhou Bay, six berths under construction are advancing synchronously, and the roar of concrete pump trucks is intertwined with the sound of waves. From a former isolated island to a deep-water hub where 400000 ton ships dock today, Putian Port is approaching its target of a billion ton port at a visible speed to the naked eye. A few days ago, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Fu Chaoyang, made a resounding statement at a special meeting: "We must step on the soil and hard ground and accelerate the construction of a billion ton port

Build six berths together and sprint towards 50 million tons

There are a total of six berths under construction in the Luoyu operation area, including berths 8, 11 to 15, with a total investment of over 5 billion yuan. Among them, berth 8 is a 300000 ton iron ore unloading berth, which will complement the already put into operation berths 9 and 10 after completion. After all six berths are put into use, the annual comprehensive throughput capacity of the Luoyu operation area in Dongwu Port will exceed 50 million tons. In 2025, the sea rail intermodal cargo volume in Dongwu Port District exceeded 10 million tons for the first time, reaching 10.88 million tons, a year-on-year increase of over 26%; The transfer volume of iron ore from Taiwan has been leading the country for six consecutive years.

Iron sea intermodal transportation eliminates logistics bottlenecks

In early April, the new mode of multimodal transportation from Putian to Xiamen and from Putian to Fuqingshui was officially launched. Putian Port Group, in collaboration with Xiamen and Fuzhou Port Group, has achieved seamless customs clearance in Putian and seamless transfer between cooperative ports. Enterprises do not need to repeatedly declare and inspect, truly realizing smooth operation throughout the entire process. After the coal is unloaded from the dock, it is directly sent to the boiler through a fully enclosed belt corridor. The waste heat steam from the thermal power plant also attracts high-end malt intelligent factories to settle in. The industrial chain loop adapted to port production has been formed on the north bank of Meizhou Bay. Keywords: Infrastructure Engineering News and Information, Port Infrastructure

Smart customs clearance reduces ship demurrage time

The large screen data of the Putian Border Inspection Station Command Center is jumping in real-time, and AI technology is deeply applied to port control. The intelligent border inspection system at the outer wheel staircase has reduced the single person verification time from 1 minute to seconds, and shortened the average ship detention time by 1 hour. Customs promotes early declaration, maritime departments implement zero waiting time inspection and release, and joint inspection units at various ports work together to ensure smooth maritime logistics channels through an intelligent customs clearance system. By 2025, the Putian area of Meizhou Bay Port will achieve a throughput of 83.57 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.7%. The port is accelerating its transformation from a logistics channel to an industrial magnetic pole.Editor/Gao Xue
