Recently, the Xinxing Building Materials Terminal of Tianjin Port, on the basis of being officially approved for opening to the public, has successfully passed the acceptance inspection of the customs supervision site. This achievement not only indicates that Gaoshaling Port Area has the basic conditions for the loading and unloading operations of foreign trade vessels, but also adds new impetus to Tianjin Port's efforts to accelerate the construction of an "upgraded version" of a world-class smart and green hub port and to build an important strategic support point for connecting the domestic and international dual circulation in northern China.
From "approval for port opening" to "passing the acceptance inspection of customs supervision sites", Tianjin Port Xinxing Building Materials Terminal Company has been closely focusing on the goal of "upgrading the hub and improving the quality of the main business". With the support and assistance of the superior units and port units such as customs, maritime affairs, and border inspection, it has successively broken through the two key nodes that affect the operation of foreign trade vessels: the official approval for opening to the outside world and passing the acceptance inspection of customs supervision sites. At present, the terminal has been fully equipped with the qualifications and hardware support for opening up to the outside world and can officially start providing international trade loading and unloading services at the port.
Gaoshaling Port Area is an important strategic reserve resource for the southward development of Tianjin Port. The emerging building materials terminal, as a key engine for its development, realizes the opening up of the port to the outside world and the operation of foreign trade vessels. This not only helps to further release the potential of general cargo vessel operations in Gaoshaling Port Area but also optimizes the layout of foreign trade production in Tianjin Port It can provide more convenient and efficient logistics channels and infrastructure support for serving the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and jointly building the "Belt and Road Initiative". This is not only an important milestone in the development of Gaoshaling Port Area, but also a vivid practice of Tianjin Port in accelerating the two-way opening up of land and sea, expanding the shipping network, strengthening the infrastructure level and promoting high-level opening up to the outside world.
