Since 2025, Shenzhen Port has grasped the precious opportunity of the global economic and trade recovery and the recovery of the international shipping market, and the container throughput has continued to operate at a high level, and the business performance has shown a steady and good trend.

Recently, from the latest data released by Shenzhen Customs, it was learned that in January 2025, the foreign trade container throughput of Shenzhen Port reached 2.853 million TEUs, compared with the same period last year, achieving a significant growth of 15.5%. This achievement is not only due to the warming of the global economic environment, but also inseparable from the efforts of Shenzhen Port to continuously optimize the cargo structure and improve the service quality.

At Shekou Container Terminal, a Philippine e-commerce special line named "Shekou - Manila South" was officially opened, adding new impetus to the fast transportation of cross-border e-commerce goods. At the same time, Dachao Bay Container Terminal has also taken active action to open domestic and foreign trade same ship transport routes such as "Dachao Bay - Zhongshan", further widening the path of cargo import and export in the western port area of Shenzhen. In addition, Yantian Comprehensive Free Trade Zone also ushered in a historic moment, the successful completion of the first ticket vehicle export business, marking the official opening of another car to the sea in Shenzhen. The opening of these new routes and the expansion of new businesses have undoubtedly injected new vitality into the foreign trade growth of Shenzhen Port.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, cross-border e-commerce, and international cold chain, Shenzhen Port has actively innovated and successively opened more than 10 cross-border e-commerce shipping lines directly to the United States, Australia and other places, as well as multimodal logistics routes such as "China-Europe Freight train" and "Sea Mail Road". These measures not only help enterprises to sail "to sea", but also cultivate new growth poles of foreign trade, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Shenzhen Port.

It is worth mentioning that the "combined port" model, with Shenzhen Shekou Port and Yantian Port as the hub port and the Pearl River Delta inland port as the feeder port, has opened a total of 43 lines since its inception, achieving full coverage of the nine mainland cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Among them, the opening of lines such as "Shenzhen Shekou Port - Shantou Guangao Port" and "Shenzhen Yantian Port - Foshan Beijiao Port" has saved more than 300 million yuan for more than 5,000 import and export enterprises. The successful implementation of this model will not only enhance the radiation power and influence of Shenzhen Port, but also promote the economic integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

In order to further enhance the logistics efficiency and service level of Shenzhen Port, Shenzhen Customs has successively introduced convenient measures such as "departure confirmation" and "direct loading", and optimized the supervision process of "water transfer". The implementation of these measures has effectively unblocked the "main artery" of logistics transport, helped the 265 international route resources of the Shenzhen hub port and the manufacturing cargo sources along the Pearl River inland terminals to achieve complementary advantages, and provided strong support for the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

In the face of the increasing container throughput, how to make the containers of different routes flow smoothly between Shenzhen port areas has become an urgent problem to be solved. To this end, Shenzhen Customs empowers regional synergy with "wisdom" and continues to improve the construction of smart logistics supervision system. Through automatic rapid inspection and release of bayonet networking, intelligent control and other means, Shenzhen Customs continues to smooth the logistics channels between port areas, and help the port cluster and integrated development. In particular, the application of the new security smart lock makes every container that is being transferred can be accurately "captured" and presented in real time with flashing points on the map. Its trajectory, status, in-transit video and other information is clear at a glance, which greatly improves the accuracy of intelligent in-transit supervision and the safety and controllability of goods in transit.
