In 2025, the container throughput at ports operated by the Anhui Provincial Port & Shipping Group Co., Ltd. reached 3.026 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), surpassing 3 million for the first time. It represented a 12.5 percent increase over the previous year, a growth rate twice the national average. The achievement marks a new leap in overall operational scale and efficiency.
The breakthrough can be attributed to various factors. More domestic and international ship routes were included into the transport network. The newly released route from Wuhu City in Anhui Province to Dongping County in Shandong Province advanced the connectivity between the two provinces. The number of routes specialized for container delivery reached 69, operating nearly 300 weekly sailings. The group also expanded international cooperation with AD Ports Group in the United Arab Emirates and the authority of Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. The broadened ocean transport allowed the enterprise in Middle China’s Anhui Province to offer better service for global freight and get through an efficient transport channel that links domestic and international markets.
