The ten thousand ton giant ship at the mouth of the Yangtze River has just unloaded its cargo, and the gantry crane on the northern coast of the Gulf of Tonkin is ready to load containers onto the ship. When the golden waterway of the Yangtze River meets the new land sea channel in the west, a port shipping alliance crossing the east and west quietly comes to an end.

Recently, Jiangsu Port Group and Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group held a signing ceremony in Nanjing. Chen Ming, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Jiangsu Port Group, and Hu Huaping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Beibu Gulf Port Group, attended and witnessed the ceremony. Gu Guohua, Deputy General Manager and Party Committee Member of Jiangsu Port Group, and Xiang Hong, Deputy General Manager of Beibu Gulf Port Group, signed a strategic cooperation agreement as representatives of both parties.

Before signing the contract, the delegation from Beibu Gulf Port Group also visited the operating area of Nanjing Port Longtan Container Company's terminal, the new energy vehicle loading operation area, Longtan railway line, and ship swapping station to gain a deeper understanding of the construction of Jiangsu's green and smart port and the development of multimodal transportation.

Anchor the positioning of two core ports

Both sides have clearly defined the core hub of Yangtze River sea intermodal transportation and the international gateway port of Beibu Gulf as their respective strategic pivot points, relying on core resources such as ports, shipping, logistics, industry, technology, and capital, and strengthening top-level strategic design and port and shipping service coordination through normalized mechanisms such as high-level consultations, work docking, and information exchange.

Expand multidimensional pragmatic cooperation

On the basis of cooperation in existing port operations, route layout, and infrastructure construction, both parties will deepen exchanges around strengthening the river sea intermodal hub, improving the entire logistics system, promoting data collaboration and sharing, promoting the application of intelligent equipment, jointly building smart green ports, and jointly cultivating professional talents, actively promoting the implementation of the 1+N project.

Building a river sea land sea connectivity system

Both parties are committed to building an integrated cooperation system that integrates river sea linkage, land sea coordination, port and shipping coordination, and digital intelligence empowerment, achieving resource sharing, market co construction, mutual benefit and common development, comprehensively enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness and supply chain service capabilities of the port clusters along the Yangtze River and the coast, and truly connecting the Yangtze River Economic Belt to the new western land sea channel and the ASEAN market through a two-way interconnection channel.keywords:Engineering Information

This signing is not only a strategic handshake between the two provincial port and shipping leading enterprises, but also lays a more efficient and smooth new logistics artery for inland goods to enter ASEAN through the Beibu Gulf and for ASEAN goods to flow upstream into the Yangtze River Delta.Editor/Yang Meiling
