Around 400,000 automobiles were exported through Taicang Port in east China's Jiangsu Province in the first four months of this year, up 76 percent year-on-year, according to the latest data from Nanjing Customs.
Taicang Port, the largest roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) terminal for vehicle exports along the Yangtze River, now handles roughly one-eighth of China's total auto exports, according to the Taicang Maritime Safety Bureau.
In 2024, the port put its specialized Haitong automobile terminal into operation, anchoring a multimodal logistics system that tightly integrates waterway, highway, and rail transport. Around 70 percent of the automobiles here are destined for overseas markets.
New energy vehicles flow continuously along the dockside via road and rail, seamlessly linking the transportation networks of surrounding cities to the port's logistics chain.
To accelerate turnaround, customs, maritime, and border inspection officers carry out inspections simultaneously while vehicles are being loaded, so that ships can depart as soon as loading concludes, a coordinated effort to maximize efficiency.
