For the world’s port and shipping industry, 2021 is full of challenges, the circulation of industrial chain and supply chain is blocked, and major ports are generally congested. In the face of this global crisis, an important reason why Qingdao port has made a difference lies in its increasingly stable hub position. Even the “Changci” cargo ship, which once blocked the Suez Canal, chose to start its first cargo voyage in Qingdao port because of ship construction, abundant supply of goods, Asia Europe route layout and other factors.
Last year, Qingdao port added 23 new routes. The growth rate of routes entered the fastest and best period in history. The number and density of routes ranked first among ports in northern China.

Benchmarking global advanced ports
The era of “throughput is the king” of the port is far away. The future competitiveness depends not only on the volume, but also on the quality.
In terms of volume alone, Qingdao port has become an absolute leader among ports in Northeast Asia. Its cargo throughput has surpassed Singapore port, ranking fifth in the world, and its container throughput has surpassed Busan Port, ranking sixth in the world and first in Northeast Asia. The competitiveness index of international shipping hub – Northeast Asia report (2021), prepared by China economic information service and supported by the Baltic Exchange, also shows that the competitiveness of Qingdao port ranks first in Northeast Asia.

Therefore, it is becoming the direction of Qingdao port to accelerate the replenishment of the short board of shipping supply service system and modern high-end shipping elements and realize the leap of port energy level and urban energy level.
