Recently, Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port, Dalian Port, Yingkou Port, Ningbo Port, Shenzhen Port, Xiamen Port and Lian Yungang Port began to contact China hinterland. There are more voices on “Virtual Port” construction.
SHIPPINGCHINA takes this opportunity, puts its eye on China hinterland and accumulates different opinions of China and world experts. With these efforts, SHIPPINGCHINA puts forwards a modern logistics mode, that is Virtual Port. The first step of Virtual Port is to open on-line booking service in China's 30 large and middle-sized ports. In 2008, the on-line booking volume reaches 2,000,000 TEUs.
According to SHIPPINGCHINA CEO Mr. Kang Shuchun, “Virtual Port” will integrates the facilities, services and functions into a e-commerce platform. Via e-commerce, China hinterland will be directly provided with services of custom clearance, inspection, bank and insurance. Virtual Port is a modern logistics information system to achieve shipping & port integration.
