There have been currently 12 international liner routes from the port area, connecting Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, East Africa, the Mediterranean and other countries and regions. In October of this year, the Guang'ao Port also opened a container liner route with "import and export goods on the same ship" directly to the Hainan Free Trade Zone. The practice of import and export goods on the same ship is characterized by space sharing, loading and unloading at any time along the way, efficient and fast transfer, efficient terminal planning and operations, etc. This will further improve the utilization of barge transportation space, reduce transfer time and the number of berthing, thus effectively increase the vessel operation capacity.
