The ports along the trunk stream of the Yangtze River, China's longest and the world's third-longest river, are expected to handle a record 4.02 billion tons of cargo in 2024, an official from the administration of navigational affairs on the river under the Ministry of Transport said at a press conference in Beijing on Thursday.
Such figure marks a 3.9-percent year-on-year growth which cements the Yangtze River's position as the busiest inland waterway in the world, the official said.
The Yangtze River now boasts 16 major ports, each with an annual cargo throughput exceeding 100 million tons.
The record has effectively demonstrated the strong resilience and market vitality of the Yangtze River shipping, with policies strongly supporting the development of multi modal transportation.
The government's efforts have led to a significant increase in the proportion of road-to-water and rail-water multi modal transport, greatly reducing the logistics costs for enterprises, the official said.
The record cargo throughput on the Yangtze River highlights China's economic resilience and the success of its policies in promoting efficient and cost-effective transportation solutions along this vital inland waterway.
