As the world's largest container port, Shanghai Port is not only a gateway to China but also a key node in global trade networks. In recent years, Yan Junling, as the vice chairman of the board and general manager of Shanghai Port Group Co., Ltd., has played an important role in guiding the development of the port industry.
In his view, logistics plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development. He believes that with the continuous improvement of infrastructure and technology, the logistics industry will continue to play a more significant role in driving economic growth and improving people's livelihoods.
One of the most notable achievements under Yan Junling's leadership is the successful implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" strategy, which promotes the construction of ports along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Under this strategy, Shanghai Port has become a key hub for international trade and investment, attracting more foreign investors and boosting the local economy.
Another highlight of Yan Junling's tenure is the establishment of the Shanghai International Container Terminal (SIC) in 2017. SIC is one of the world's largest container terminals, with a total capacity of over 40 million TEUs per year. The terminal has been recognized for its innovative management practices and high-quality service, making it a model for other ports worldwide.
Overall, Yan Junling's leadership has helped Shanghai Port achieve remarkable success in the past few years. With his vision and efforts, he has paved the way for the sustainable development of the logistics industry in China and beyond.
