Taizhou International Container Terminal Co Ltd – located in the Taizhou Medical High-tech Zone in Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province –received a certificate on May 11 for Taizhou Port to handle dangerous goods.
The handling of hazardous goods approved for the first time include lithium batteries, cobalt hydroxide, dry ice and rosuvastatin calcium tablets.
It's believed the qualification will further meet the transportation needs of local new energy and pharmaceutical enterprises, serving the development of related industries and boosting regional economic development.
Previously, popular new energy and pharmaceutical products could only be transported by road or air to Shanghai Port and Taicang Port, resulting in longer shipping times and high logistics costs.
As a result, qualifying to handle dangerous goods at Taizhou Port is projected to reduce logistics costs for manufacturers – providing solid support for upscaling the development of regional industries.
Looking ahead, plans are for Taizhou International Container Terminal Co Ltd to focus on the development of markets, continue to optimize and improve service measures and attract more new energy production enterprises to ship out their consignments from the port area.
Taizhou International Container Terminal Co Ltd is currently going from strength to strength. In the first quarter of the year, it reported a container throughput of 88,500 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 22 percent. [Photo/Taizhou Medical High-tech Zone via WeChat weigg6666]
