Recently, the “China Airlines 900” ship loaded with Hezhou chipboard set sail from Wuzhou Chishui Port, a Beigang Xijiang port owned by Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group Co., Ltd. This is the first foreign trade goods shipped from Wuzhou via the Pinglu Canal. It also announced the official opening of the “Guangxi Wuzhou - Pinglu Canal - Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam” river-sea intermodal foreign trade route. This route relies on the Pinglu Canal navigation opportunity to open up a river-sea gateway connecting the hinterland of Guidong and Shonan to ASEAN. It is an important practice for the Beibu Gulf Port Group to serve the new land and sea corridors in the west and deepen the joint development of the two bays. Compared with the traditional route to go out to sea around the Pearl River Delta, the new route has outstanding advantages. According to estimates, the cost of integrated logistics for a single container on the new route has been reduced by about 10%, transit links have been greatly streamlined, and cargo turnover efficiency has improved markedly. The opening of the route changed the pattern of Wuzhou's foreign trade going east for a long time. Relying on the unique advantages of the Pinglu Canal connecting the river to the sea, the hinterland of the Xijiang River is closely linked to the ASEAN market, effectively enhancing the competitiveness of specialty products such as abdominal floor materials and manufacturing, and helping to stabilize the scale and structure of regional foreign trade.
