The cargo volume of Jiangyin Port reached 4.34 billion tons in the first three quarters of the year.
In the first three quarters of 2026, the total shipborne cargo throughput at Jiangyin Port successfully surpassed 434 million tons, achieving a steady year-on-year growth of 4.3%. This phased achievement not only highlights the continuous improvement in port operational efficiency but also reflects the vibrant state of regional logistics demand.In terms of domestic trade, Jiangyin Port's shipborne cargo volume for domestic trade reached 388 million tons in the first three quarters, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 4.18% compared to 2025. The solid data reflects the consistent efforts of the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau in strengthening maritime safety defenses and optimizing ship supervision services.Since the beginning of this year, the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau has focused on the characteristics of local shipping, prioritizing the safety management of domestic trade vessels, and implementing precise regulatory measures such as on-site ship supervision, inspection quality checks, and crew competency management. The bureau has persistently worked on collision prevention for inbound seagoing and commercial fishing vessels, with targeted risk assessments of key vessels, such as those carrying bulk domestic trade goods like sand and construction materials. Regular closed-loop defect rectification for ships has been carried out, and the primary safety responsibilities of shipping enterprises have been emphasized. These efforts aim to mitigate maritime safety risks at the source and ensure the safe and smooth flow of domestic trade transport channels.While maintaining strict supervision, the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau continues to optimize service measures, streamlining ship inspection processes and providing proactive safety education and technical guidance to shipping enterprises and vessels. By striking a balance between safety supervision and developmental needs, they ensure both maritime traffic safety and port cargo distribution demands are met, while facilitating the efficient circulation of bulk goods through water transport.In terms of foreign trade, the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau ensured the safe entry and exit of 2,569 international voyage vessels at Jiangyin Port, achieving a cargo throughput of approximately 46 million tons, marking a year-on-year growth of 5.7%. The overall performance of shipborne cargo transport remained stable, with steady improvements in quality and efficiency.The Jiangyin Maritime Bureau has consistently leveraged a coordinated series of regulation and service measures, deploying a "combo move" strategy to continuously improve the business environment at Jiangyin Port. They actively supported the port in launching new routes to Belgium and Mexico, expanded the river-sea intermodal transport network, and tapped into potential growth in shipborne transport. They efficiently managed interim maritime regulatory services for terminal operations, flexibly enhancing port throughput capacity to alleviate resource constraints at foreign trade terminals. By focusing on the comprehensive safety management of bulk cargo transport, they strengthened on-site ship supervision, stabilized the supply of key cargo categories, and advanced measures for enhancing vessel draft to unlock deep-water berth navigation capacities, improving the berthing efficiency of large ships.Additionally, the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau has deepened the "run once with a change of perspective" service philosophy, reviewing and optimizing processes from the perspective of enterprises to reduce their operating costs. They implemented an integrated "One-Stop Ship Departure" service, enabling joint review and management of related matters across departments. This initiative has concurrently improved the efficiency and quality of foreign trade transport at Jiangyin Port, supporting the region's foreign trade growth with robust maritime support.As the fourth quarter of 2026 begins, the Jiangyin Maritime Bureau will further enhance full-chain risk management for key vessels and cargo categories, solidify the foundation of maritime safety, and ensure high-efficiency navigation channels. They will continue optimizing the business environment at ports, deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, improve regulation, and strengthen services" reforms, and explore the potential of river-sea intermodal transportation and large vessel berthing. These efforts will support the steady growth and continued improvement in quality and efficiency of cargo throughput at Jiangyin Port, providing stronger maritime support for the region's high-quality economic development.
