BEIJING, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Since its launch by east China's Fujian Province in 2018, Silk

Road(https://en.imsilkroad.com/) Maritime has been showing strong development

momentum and resilience, becoming an important link in promoting the "dual

circulation" of domestic and international markets.

Despite the constantly changing global economic environment,

trade(https://en.imsilkroad.com/trade/index.html) between Fujian and the

countries and regions along the Belt and Road(https://en.imsilkroad.com/)

routes reached 412.2 billion yuan (about 58.93 billion U.S. dollars) in the

first seven months of 2022, up 19.6 percent year on year. By the end of August

this year, a total of 9,014 trips have been made through shipping routes named

after Silk Road Maritime, with the total container throughput reaching 10.182

million twenty-foot equivalent units.

More achievements were seen of the development of Silk Road Maritime this year,

as the 2022 Silk Road Maritime International Cooperation Forum kicked off on

September 8. On June 10, the e-commerce express of Silk Road Maritime was

launched. Earlier in January, a new shipping route was opened linking members

of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

By integrating with the New International Land-Sea

Trade(https://en.imsilkroad.com/trade/index.html) Corridor and the China-Europe

freight train services, Silk Road Maritime has also supported Fujian in

building overseas shipping channel for inland provinces. In 2021, the volume of

bulk cargo from outside the province handled by Fujian's ports through sea-rail

combined transport increased by 21.5 percent from the last year. Container

volume of sea-rail combined transport in the first half of 2022 saw a

year-on-year increase of 44 percent.

By further promoting policy(https://en.imsilkroad.com/policy/index.html)

coordination with China's land and sea ports, Silk Road Maritime is committed

to helping strengthening the connection among industrial and supply chains

through forging closed-loop logistics channels radiating both domestic and

international markets, according to Chen Zhiping, chairman of Fujian Provincial

Port Group Co., Ltd. and Fujian Silk Road Maritime Management Company.

The brand is featured by cross-sector integrated cooperation, with members of

the Silk Road Maritime Alliance each leveraging their strengths. Aiming to

boost information sharing among relevant enterprises, Silk Road Maritime also

provides a global shipping comprehensive service platform, whose first phase

construction has been completed.
