On June 2, with the 200,000-ton-class container ship "AL ZUBARA Arab Zubara" successfully berthed at the Nansha Phase III terminal of Guangzhou Port, the Alliance, which represents one of the three major alliances in the shipping industry, made its maiden voyage to Nansha Port. The "Nansha-Europe" FE2 route was opened. This is also the gathering of the three major global container liner alliances in the Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port, which will provide customers with more convenient marine transportation options.
This time the THE alliance has invested a total of 13 current largest 18000-24000 TEU container ships. The route calls Nansha every Tuesday, and the port order is: Busan-Shanghai-Ningbo-Nansha-Yantian-Singapore-Tangier Port-South Ampton-Le Havre-Hamburg-Rotterdam Port-Tangier Port-Singapore-Hong Kong-Busan. This route not only allows customers to enjoy the most convenient service from Nansha to Southampton and Le Havre, but also provides services for transit to Northwest Africa via Tangier Port, promoting the interconnection between customers in the Pearl River Delta and more "Belt and Road" African countries .
The berthing of very large ships has higher requirements for the navigation conditions of the port, the berthing capacity of the berth, and the loading and unloading level of the wharf. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the operation, before the ship arrives in the port, Nansha Phase III Wharf organizes relevant departments to hold a pre-ship meeting in advance, fully considers the restriction factors such as channel and tide, and arranges the ship's berthing plan reasonably.
Guangzhou Port will join hands with THE Alliance to build the world's most efficient, lowest integrated logistics cost, and most competitive international shipping hub, and provide a faster and more convenient maritime transportation channel for import and export enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
It is also reported that the third phase of Nansha pays close attention to the development of the foreign epidemic situation, strictly implements the requirements of epidemic prevention work, and strictly prevents the import of overseas epidemics. From January to May 2021, the total throughput of foreign trade containers in the third phase of Nansha increased by 81% year-on-year, and the production and operation maintained good development. situation.
