The year 2025 marks the fifth year of official operations of CCCC (Xinghua) Port, located in Xinghua city, East China's Jiangsu province, with its annual compound growth rate of port throughput exceeding 30 percent during that time. The facility has helped local enterprises save logistics costs.
Taking major flour processor Wudeli Group Xinghua Flour as an example, a single container used by the company can save logistics costs of over 500 yuan ($70.35), said Long Xuejun, general manager of CCCC (Xinghua) Port Development, the port operator.
He added that for manufacturer Jiangsu Xingda Steel Tyre Cord, the biggest tire radial production enterprise in Asia, it can save logistics costs of 500–1,000 yuan for every foreign trade container shipped.
Other businesses are equally enthusiastic. "In the past, our goods needed to be delivered to Shanghai Port or Ningbo Port for container loading," said Gu Wei, foreign trade sales manager of Jiangsu Suolong Fire Science and Technology, a resident company in Xinghua.
"After the opening of CCCC (Xinghua) Port, we can load containers at our doorsteps, reducing the logistics cost of a single container by 10 percent to 20 percent," Gu added.
