In 2019, The Freight Volume Of Ningbo Section Of Hangzhou Ningbo Canal Exceeded 6 Million Tons, An Increase Of 30% Over The Same Period Last Year.

In January 2nd, according to the latest statistics of Ningbo maritime safety administration, the freight volume of Ningbo section of Hangzhou Ningbo canal continued to increase in 2019, and the total freight volume of the whole year exceeded 6 million tons, reaching 6 million 168 thousand and 700 tons, while the import and export ship reached 24957 ships, and two data increased 31.5% and 33.8% respectively over the same period.


It is understood that the number of vessels in inland waterways has increased significantly. On the one hand, the cancellation of toll gates has prompted more logistics enterprises to abandon land and water. On the other hand, because of the formal shutdown of the three Fort lock at the end of October 2019 in Hangzhou, a large number of inland river ships have changed their routes to enter the Ningbo section of Hangzhou Ningbo canal.


It is reported that the main reason for the obvious increase in freight transport volume is the continuous increase in demand for yellow sand in addition to the increasing demand for coal in the upstream thermal power plant and the increase in urban construction projects in Shaoxing and other places. In addition, the freight logistics of Ningbo section of Hangzhou Ningbo canal in 2019 was transferred to many places, and the inter city transportation from Xiaoshan and Shaoxing gradually covered the short distance transportation in Ningbo, Haishu and Yuyao.


At the same time, with the navigation of container ships in Ningbo section of Hangzhou Ningbo canal in December 20, 2019, cargo types will become more diversified, inland waterway transportation will further expand, and the inland hinterland of Zhoushan port in Ningbo will be effectively expanded. In order to ensure safety, the Ningbo maritime safety administration will continue to pay attention to the dynamics of inland container ships, and strengthen on-site inspections of seaworthiness, seamen's competence and cargo loading, especially to strictly check the draft vessels and the maximum height above the waterline, so as to ensure the safety and smoothness of the Ningbo section of Hangzhou Ningbo canal.
