HANGZHOU, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in east China's Zhejiang Province on Monday launched the first China-Europe express container route through the Arctic, expanding its route network to the Arctic Ocean for the first time.
The port administration stated that this step should provide strong support to foreign trade enterprises in developing new international logistics channels.
Sun Xuejun, Chairman of Zhejiang Seaport Logistics Group Co., Ltd., said the new container route through the Arctic is specifically designed to serve cross-border e-commerce and the transportation of high-value-added goods.
The new route runs directly from the port of Zhoushan to the British port of Felixstowe via the Northern Sea Route, reducing cargo delivery time to 18 days. This is significantly faster than shipping along the China-Europe rail route (approximately 25 days), through the Suez Canal (approximately 40 days), or around the Cape of Good Hope (approximately 50 days).
The first Arctic voyage will arrive in Felixstowe on October 10. According to Ningbo customs authorities, the cargo includes not only everyday goods, clothing, and spare parts, but also high-value-added products such as energy storage cabinets and batteries. After arriving in Felixstowe, these goods will be transported throughout Europe.
