GZP(SH:601228) Zhong Guo Jin Rong Xin Xi Wang·2026-01-06 02:57Core Insights - Guangzhou Port is projected to handle over 696 million tons of cargo and exceed 28 million TEUs in container throughput by 2025, maintaining its position among the top six global ports. The foreign trade cargo throughput is expected to grow by 10.73%, with foreign trade container throughput increasing by nearly 20%, leading the growth among coastal ports in China [1][2]. Global Network Expansion - Since 2025, Guangzhou Port has expanded its global shipping network, adding 10 new foreign trade routes, including a direct route from Nansha to South America. The port now operates 182 foreign trade liner routes, with 152 routes under the Belt and Road Initiative and 98 routes to RCEP countries, establishing connections with over 400 ports in more than 100 countries and regions [2][4]. Multimodal Transport System - Guangzhou Port has developed an efficient multimodal transport system, achieving seamless connections with rail, road, and inland waterway transport. The sea-rail intermodal volume surpassed 700,000 TEUs in 2025, marking a 15.7% year-on-year increase. The port operates 39 sea-rail intermodal trains, connecting 38 inland ports across 11 provinces [5]. Business Environment Optimization - The port has implemented a 24-hour pilot service with zero waiting time, reducing the average stay of container vessels to 0.87 days. Innovations such as "onboard certificate processing" have streamlined administrative services. In 2025, Guangzhou hosted a high-quality development conference, signing 21 projects with a total investment of nearly 7 billion yuan [7]. Infrastructure Upgrades - The Nansha Port Area has established the world's first fully automated multimodal terminal, increasing container handling efficiency by 30%. The port has also achieved 100% shore power coverage, with over 17 million kilowatt-hours of shore power supplied to vessels, resulting in a carbon reduction of 11,730 tons [8][9]. International Ranking Improvement - In 2025, Guangzhou surpassed Tokyo to rank 12th globally in the Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index, solidifying its position as the fourth in China. The Pearl River cruise brand also ranked first globally in the International Urban Cruise Vitality Index Report, with over 4 million visitors in 2025 [10][12]. Strategic Port Cluster Development - The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area port cluster, with Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong as key hubs, accounts for about one-quarter of the national container handling capacity. This strategic collaboration aims to transition from being the "largest" to the "strongest" in global supply chains, enhancing China's foreign trade capabilities [13].
