The Jiangyan Port of Taizhou city – located in East China's Jiangsu province – in May set a new record for monthly import and export container volumes since its establishment.
That throughput hit 3,953 twenty foot-equivalent units or TEUs, the standard container size — an impressive 83.69 percent year-on-year increase, marking a milestone for the facility.
The achievement was attributed to the Inland Container Terminal project cooperation agreement between Jiangsu UNIBR International Port Logistics Group Co Ltd and Shanghai International Port Group, or SIPG.
This partnership is widely said to have transformed Jiangyan Port into an inland extension of Shanghai Port, providing business enterprises with a much more convenient export channel.
Leveraging Shanghai Port's extensive foreign trade container sources, shipping routes and service capabilities, Jiangyan Port has significantly boosted its customer service efficiency and cargo throughput.
As a result, an increasing number of "Made in Taizhou" products are reaching global markets through this new channel.
That's paved the way for Jiangyan Port to gradually become a crucial hub connecting the central and northern regions of Jiangsu province with international markets.

Looking ahead, Jiangyan Port plans to expand its service scope, deepen cooperation with SIPG and further optimize the logistics network in the Yangtze River Delta region – contributing to the high-quality development of the regional economy.
