How to stabilize the international logistics supply chain?

The Ministry of transport responded:

On February 28, the State Information Office held a press conference on "accelerating the construction of a transportation power and striving to be a good pioneer". Li Xiaopeng, Minister of transportation, said that we should strengthen the overall scheduling of different transportation modes to ensure the efficient and smooth transportation of important materials such as energy, grain and minerals.

At the meeting, a question said: in the past year, the freight rate in the international shipping market has remained high, and the supply of transportation capacity is relatively tight. What measures has the Ministry of transport taken to stabilize the international logistics supply chain?

Li Xiaopeng pointed out that a safe, stable, smooth and efficient international and domestic logistics service system is an important guarantee for ensuring economic operation, promoting high-quality development and building a new development pattern of services. According to the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of transport and relevant departments have established an international logistics support coordination mechanism to work together to accelerate the construction of the international logistics supply chain system.

In terms of service guarantee, in 2021, the port cargo throughput was 15.55 billion tons, an increase of 6.8% year-on-year according to preliminary statistics. Among them, the throughput of port foreign trade goods was about 4.7 billion tons, an increase of 4.5% year-on-year. The port's container throughput reached 280 million standard containers, an increase of 7% year-on-year.

Among them, the port's foreign trade container throughput was about 160 million standard containers, a year-on-year increase of 7.5%. In addition, about 15000 China Europe trains were operated throughout the year, sending 1.46 million standard containers of goods, an increase of 22% and 29% respectively year-on-year. There were 200000 international cargo flights, an increase of 22% year-on-year. The cargo and mail volume of international routes was 2.667 million tons, and 2.1 billion international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Express were completed, with a year-on-year increase of 19.5% and 14.6% respectively. 46 million tons of international road transportation were completed, which was basically the same as that of the previous year. The above preliminary statistics generally reflect the smooth transportation of goods in terms of transportation.

Next, Li Xiaopeng said that the Ministry of transport will give full play to the role of the international logistics guarantee coordination mechanism, work with relevant departments to accelerate the construction of the international logistics supply system, strive to maintain the safety and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, provide strong support for the stable operation of the economy, high-quality economic development, service construction of a new development pattern, and serve the people's life well.

First, focus on protection. We should strengthen the overall scheduling of different transportation modes, constantly expand the network of international logistics channels, improve the ability of service guarantee, and ensure the efficient and smooth transportation of important materials such as energy, grain and minerals.

Second, adjust the structure. We should strive to improve the carrying capacity and connection level of infrastructure, innovate the organization mode of multimodal transport, accelerate the upgrading of technical equipment, and constantly promote the adjustment of transportation structure to achieve new results.

Third, excellent environment. We should optimize the market business environment, clean up and standardize all kinds of unreasonable charges, accelerate the interactive sharing of logistics information among governments, departments and enterprises, and strive to reduce costs, improve quality and increase efficiency.
Fourth, strong enterprises. We should timely solve the problems encountered in the development of enterprises, guide the upstream and downstream enterprises of the supply chain to strengthen strategic cooperation, and speed up the cultivation of logistics enterprises with international competitiveness.

Fifth, build a system. We should give full play to the coordinating role of the working mechanism, accelerate the construction of an open, shared, global, safe, reliable and powerful international logistics supply chain system, and ensure that imported goods can come in and exported goods can go out.
