Early in the morning of May 26, in the Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration's maintenance and security, the Singaporean "Ionique" ship from the Nanjing Port Xinshenwei port area slowly opened, across the sea to Brazil.This is the first export ship in Nanjing with a draught of 11.6 meters, marking that the draught standard for ships leaving Nanjing port has also been raised from 11.36 meters to 11.6 meters.Nanjing to open the "big ship deep water" era, to speed up the construction of regional shipping and logistics center on the road and took a solid step.
From Nanjing
11.6-meter deep draft big ship running to the sea
It is the first time that a cargo ship with a draft depth of 11.6 meters is exported from Nanjing Port. On January 15 this year, the grain ship from Brazil - "Alpha Discovery" ship berthing in Nanjing Port, the first to 11.6 meters draft depth refresh the port since the opening of the largest draft record of the ship into the port. With one entry and one exit, Nanjing Port has accomplished another sublimation of the deep-water port.
Nanjing Maritime Bureau Command Center Deputy Director Yang Zhaohui introduced, since Nanjing City started to enter and exit the Nanjing Port ship draught enhancement work, Nanjing Maritime Bureau to actively carry out 11.6 meters draught ships entering and exiting the Nanjing Port real ship test work.Since January 15, five 11.6-meter draft ships have been guaranteed safe berthing at Nanjing Port, and berthing of 50,000-ton ships has become the norm.
In order to effectively guarantee the safe export of "Ionique", before sailing, Nanjing Maritime Safety Administration organized law enforcement officers to carry out safety inspection on the key equipment of the ship to ensure the ship's seaworthiness. On-site coordination with Nanjing Pilotage Station senior pilot to implement pilotage, and give the right to choose the route, while organizing the pilotage staff to study the navigation safety protection program.
After sailing, the Nanjing Maritime Safety Bureau also sent special people with the ship, coordinating the lower reaches of the Yangtze River along the implementation of the entire tracking and maintenance of the maritime sector, to ensure that the traffic organization in a timely and effective. In addition, the Nanjing Port Group tugboats are deployed throughout the tail with the ship to Jiangyin, through the lower reaches of the complex section of the increased tugboat navigation.
Aimed at 11.8 meters
Nanjing accelerates "deep" competitiveness
Depth is the competitiveness of the waterway.In 2018, the 12.5-meter deep water channel below Nanjing on the Yangtze River was fully opened, and the water depth of the Nanjing waterway was increased from 10.5 meters to 12.5 meters.So far, the navigable sea vessels from 30,000 tons to 50,000 tons, 100,000 tons of sea vessels can be reduced to arrive, Nanjing Port from the "river port" to "seaport".
It can be said that the deeper the draft, the greater the attraction of Nanjing port. 12.5 meters deep water channel through, the maximum draft of large ships entering and leaving the port of Nanjing long-term control in 11.36 meters. Nanjing Maritime Bureau, deputy director of Wang Changning introduced, this is mainly along the route of the channel hydrological conditions and navigational safety considerations, especially in Zhenjiang, Yin Gongzhou section, "Z" type channel, the impact of large marine vessels, known as the "tiger's mouth".
After calculations, the draft of ships entering and leaving Nanjing Port has been raised from 11.36 meters to 11.6 meters, and sea vessels can load more cargoes in a single voyage.3000 tonsThis can save the hinterland enterprises logistics cost every year.About 40 million dollars.The
Next step, the city will continue to "deep" dive, accelerate the promotion of ships entering and leaving the port of Nanjing maximum draft 11.8 meters breakthrough.

This center will be fully completed by 2035
Connecting to the Yangtze River, Europe and Asia, docking to the coast, and radiating to the central and western parts of China, the Nanjing Port Multimodal Intermodal Transportation Demonstration Project was selected as a "National Multimodal Intermodal Transportation Demonstration Project" in 2023. The project is led by the Municipal Bureau of Transportation and Nanjing Port Group, relying on the "Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and China's coastal and riverine areas - Nanjing - Central and Western Europe and Asia" multimodal intermodal transport corridors, to build a container, commodity automobile water, rail and public multimodal intermodal transport demonstration project, in order to build a domestic and foreign two-way opening up. We are striving to build a port, shipping and logistics service system that is open to both domestic and foreign markets.
In April 2021, Longtan Port Railway Line was completed and put into operation, realizing the seamless connection between railroad and waterway. Containers do not need to open the box, directly in the terminal to achieve the conversion of waterway and railroad transport, through the public railway water transport "last kilometer".
In 2023, Nanjing Port Group completed a containerized intermodal transport volume of 156,800 TEU (TEU), an increase of 49.8% year-on-year, and for the second consecutive year, maintained aNo. 1 river port in the country. In the first quarter of this year, the foreign trade throughput of Longtan Port Area of Nanjing Port reached528,000 TEUs(math.) genusYear-on-year growth of 28%The
In March this year, the "Municipal Government's Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Nanjing's Regional Shipping and Logistics Center" was officially released, and Nanjing put forward 2 goals for the near and long term.
By 2030, Nanjing will basically form a regional shipping and logistics center with perfect functions.The cargo throughput of Nanjing Port has reached 350 million tons, and the container throughput has reached 5 million TEUs; more than 15 near-ocean routes have been opened;
By 2035, a regional shipping and logistics center with "reasonable layout, perfect functions, factor concentration, innovation and high efficiency" will be built.The cargo throughput of Nanjing Port has reached 400 million tons, the container throughput has reached 6.3 million TEUs, and more than 20 near-ocean routes have been opened.
