Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, November 9 (Reporter Jia Yuankun) at the 2023 China International Import Expo Hongqiao Forum to enhance the resilience of the global industrial chain supply chain, Zhang Yong, deputy general manager of COSCO Shipping Group, said that COSCO Shipping Group is anchoring the goal of world-class shipping technology enterprises, making every effort to lay out two new tracks, green, low-carbon and digital intelligence. We will speed up the realization of the strategic goals of the "five shipping" of resilient shipping, green shipping, low-carbon shipping, intelligent shipping and inclusive shipping, and strive to build a leading model for the integrated development of shipping and trade in the port of "Silk Road Shipping".

The global shipping market is experiencing complex and changeable risk tests. To maintain the stability of the industrial chain supply chain, it is necessary to improve the resilience of shipping logistics.

Zhang Yong said that the purpose of building resilient shipping is to strengthen global inter-regional collaboration. With a high level of inter-regional cooperation, we will continuously improve the anti-cyclical ability of shipping enterprises, ensure the stable and smooth flow of the global industrial chain supply chain, and constantly enhance the well-being of the people of the countries along the route. Relying on the Greek port of Piraeus, Cosco has integrated shipping routes, ports and railway resources to build an express land and sea line between China and Europe, radiating 71 million people from nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and becoming the third major channel for China-EU trade.

The purpose of building resilient shipping is to strengthen the coordination of the industrial chain. Smooth transport capacity, routes, hubs, channels, and other modern supply chain systems, to achieve deep integration between the supply chain and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and between different industries. With the rapid growth of China's new energy vehicle exports in recent years, Cosco has launched transportation modes such as automobile ro-ro ships, container ships and "pulp ships + customized car frames" to create a full, visual and three-dimensional digital supply chain. from port to port, ship to ship developed into door-to-door and end-to-end high-quality service automobile industry.

The purpose of building resilient shipping is to enhance the efficiency of multimodal transport. Cosco's maritime services will build a new development pattern, actively integrate into the construction of new land and sea channels in the western region and the Yangtze River economic belt, speed up the formation of a logistics system that connects river-sea direct, river-sea intermodal transport, and "public railway water", and strive to reduce the total cost of social logistics. Consolidate the foundation of internal circulation in the integration of port, navigation and trade.

Green development is the inherent requirement of high-quality development of shipping. Zhang Yong said that the construction of green shipping should be committed to the construction of green port and shipping infrastructure. We will actively promote the application of wind power, photovoltaic and other renewable energy in ports and logistics scenes, and improve the green transformation of logistics infrastructure. Efforts should be made to protect the marine ecology. Shipping and the ocean share weal and woe, and it is our unshirkable responsibility to pay attention to and maintain the healthy development of marine ecology. Cosco Shipping strictly abides by the Ballast Water Convention, earnestly protects the ecology of the waters, and provides a strong guarantee for the Blue Ocean.

At present, the international shipping industry accounts for nearly 3% of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and in response to the International Maritime Organization's goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Cosco accelerated the layout of the clean energy industry. Cooperate to build the world's first marine green methanol industry chain project covering R & D, production, transportation, filling, certification and other links. Speed up the construction of a low-carbon fleet. The 12 24000 TEUs methanol dual-fuel power container ships designed, built and operated independently are expected to reduce 1.3 million tons of carbon emissions per year after they are put into operation on the Asia-Europe route, and the two 700TEUs direct river-sea direct electric container ships will effectively contribute to the protection of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Cosco has completed the shore electricity transformation of 188 ships, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 100000 tons per year. The second container terminal of Tianjin Port has built the world's first zero-carbon terminal and built a zero-carbon demonstration zone on Dongyu Island in Boao, Hainan.

Scientific and technological innovation is the first driving force for the digital and intelligent development of the shipping industry. Intelligent shipping will reshape the industrial chain supply chain value chain and better realize the matching of supply and demand. Cosco Shipping has built an "intelligent cold box platform" to achieve real-time perception and real-time control. It has been put into operation of 80,000 intelligent cold boxes, with a total coverage of 57%. Intelligent shipping will deeply promote the integration of port, navigation and trade, and enhance the credit level of the industry. The traditional shipping industry is unable to provide real-time cargo information to shippers, ports, banks, and regulators at the same time. Information asymmetry affects efficiency, security and trust. Cosco Shipping initiated the establishment of the Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN) platform, which has achieved the issuance of electronic bills of lading for containers, bulk cargo, crude oil and groceries, and promoted the deep integration of trade, logistics and so on.

Shipping is a global integrated system, which needs to be more inclusive and fair. In recent years, governments of various countries have attached importance to the development of the shipping industry and continued to strengthen industry regulatory policies. The international shipping industry needs to meet new opportunities and challenges with a more open and inclusive attitude. Cosco Shipping actively participates in global shipping governance, abides by international shipping rules, and constantly strengthens compliance construction. No matter in China or in the world, it actively practices ESG and becomes a good partner of customers, a good employer of employees, a good member of the community and a good enterprise of the society. He has been on the Fortune China ESG influence list for two years in a row, and has taken the lead in reaching the agreement on ESG-linked syndicated loans, which has created a precedent for China's shipping industry to fulfill its ESG responsibilities.

Over the past five years since China International Import Expo was held, COSCO Shipping has braved the wind and waves in the sea of the world economy, and its development has leapt to a new level. With high-level shipping and high-quality service to jointly build "Belt and Road Initiative" and realize the integrated development of shipping and trade in the port of "Silk Road Shipping" as the goal, COSCO Shipping is exploring and innovating, exploring practice, actively seizing major historical new opportunities and upgrading the new energy level of the industry.
