Beibu Gulf Port in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has innovated its operation system to improve shipment efficiency and facilitate transfer process between port and railway transportation systems.
A batch of lithium battery energy storage cabinets were recently loaded onto a Dutch ship at berth No. 2 of Dalanping south operation area of Qinzhou Port, a part of Beibu Gulf Port, which is the first time that Beibu Gulf has realized the bulk shipment of lithium battery energy storage cabinets for export.
Since the beginning of this year, Beibu Gulf Port has actively coordinated resources to resolve bottlenecks. In the loading and unloading operations, it endeavored to solve the problems of small loading volume of each container export shipment and difficulty in booking shipping space.
“Now the export of the ‘new trio’ (electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and photovoltaic products) from Beibu Gulf Port is growing rapidly, with large cargo volumes and high values, and some of the goods are included in the nine categories of dangerous goods. All these factors have put high requirements on the service capabilities of port enterprises,” said Song Haitao, manager of Beibu Gulf Port Qinzhou Bonded Port Area Shenggang Terminal Co., Ltd.
Facilities, like bridge crane and rail cranes, and unmanned transport vehicles at the Beibu Gulf Port Qinzhou automated container terminal can be accessed with one click in its remote control room.
