A few days ago, with the whistle sounding, the first "Shanghai Port-Persian Gulf" liner route of the "Yuheng Pioneer" ro-ro ship, the largest car ship with parking spaces in China, successfully set sail at Haitong Wharf, Waigaoqiao Port Area, Shanghai. 3,900 vehicles of Chery, JAC, Geely and other domestic brands were exported to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, an important node of the "Maritime Silk Road" on the ro-ro wheel under the supervision of the Outer Port Customs.
In recent years, with the growth of China's auto industry, the export demand of domestically produced cars has been strong and maintained strong growth. At Haitong Wharf in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port Area, the largest car ro-ro terminal in the country, the number of cars "boarding and going out to sea" has continued to rise this year. In the first 10 months of this year, 839,300 vehicles were exported at Haitong Terminal, an increase of 19.2% over the same period last year.
"With the popularity of domestic automobiles in overseas markets, the shipments of new energy vehicles of domestic self-owned brands such as SAIC MG and BYD have begun to occupy the mainstream at the Outer Port Port." Chen Jia, Section Chief of the Ninth Inspection Section of the Outer Port Customs, said, Look, the export destinations of domestically produced automobiles are gradually shifting to high-end markets such as Europe, the United States, and Australia, reflecting the new trend of high-quality development.
It is understood that the top three exporters of electric passenger vehicles at Shanghai Port are the European Union, the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Slovenia and other countries, my country's domestically produced cars have been favored by local consumers, and the value of exports has more than doubled year-on-year since the beginning of this year.
The overseas market of SAIC MAXUS Automobile Co., Ltd. is developing rapidly, and its sales volume is growing rapidly at an annual growth rate of nearly 40%. It has exported more than 200,000 complete vehicles through ports such as the Outer Port Haitong Wharf. Zhao Yujie, Executive Director of SAIC MAXUS Purchasing and Logistics Center, said: "Shanghai Customs continues to improve the level of customs clearance facilitation, and the overall customs clearance efficiency at the port is very competitive, which provides a strong guarantee for our domestically-made vehicles to seize the international market!"
At the same time, since this year, the Nangang Ro-Ro Terminal located in the Lingang New Area is gradually undertaking the import and export of complete vehicle Ro-Ro business at Shanghai Port. Shanghai Customs has increased the supply of policies, promoted the inclusion of Nangang Port in the coverage of the "Yangshan Special Comprehensive Bonded Zone" policy coverage, and greatly reduced the customs clearance time and customs clearance costs for export car companies.
With its superior location and policy advantages, Nangang port has attracted a large number of new energy vehicles to be shipped from the terminal, which has become a new starting point for my country's new energy vehicles to explore overseas markets. In October, Yangshan Customs supervised the export of 34,000 complete vehicles from Nangang Wharf, a new high in monthly export volume.
Under the guarantee of a series of refined customs clearance services by Shanghai Customs, the export of automobiles at Shanghai ports has shown "both volume and price". According to statistics, in the first 10 months, Shanghai Port exported 1.122 million vehicles and 150.18 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.8% and 71.6%. Among them, the export of electric passenger vehicles was 417,000 units and 86.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 92.5% and 115.5%.
