HANGZHOU, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region-registered bulk carrier Changsheng departed from Jiaxing Port in Zhejiang Province on Friday for Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Beira, Mozambique, marking the opening of direct sea service on the Jiaxing-Africa route.
Thus, after Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, Jiaxing has become the second port in Zhejiang Province that has a direct sea route to Africa.
The vessel will deliver about 200 standard containers of equipment to Africa, which is mainly intended for the construction of infrastructure facilities. The cargo is expected to arrive at the port of Zanzibar in about 25 days.
The opening of the new route is expected to strengthen trade and economic exchanges between Zhejiang Province and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
According to local authorities, the route will be operated once a month, which will significantly reduce logistics costs and promote cooperation between the Yangtze River Delta region and Africa in infrastructure and industry. -0-
