Tianjin Port facilitates ‘dual circulation’

A dazzling array of goods, including Mercedes-Benz cars from Beijing to Ningbo, grain from Northeast China to southern areas, tomato sauce from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region exported to Italy, daily necessities from Japan and South Korea to Mongolia, are all gathered and distributed in the shipping hub of Tianjin Port.

This year has seen 50,130 Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles set sail from Tianjin to Ningbo, facilitating Beijing Benz's vehicle logistics.

The northern major port is connected to more than 800 ports in over 200 countries and regions.

In the first half of the year, the port has already made remarkable achievements. The container throughput exceeded 10.29 million TEUs, a year-on-year increase of more than 20 percent; the cargo throughput achieved 231 million tons, a year-on-year increase of over 10 percent.

To facilitate China's new dual-circulation development pattern, it has expanded service coverage and increased efficiency.

"We have 4 newly opened domestic and foreign trade routes covering Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and China’s southeast coast,” said Zhou Wei, general manager of the Tianjin Port Group’s business operations department. “We will connect and upgrade the north-south sea lanes to promote the domestic trade cycle, and strengthen connections with ports in Tianjin and Hebei."
