On September 23, at approximately 4:30 a.m. local time, the Istanbul Bridge departed from the Beilun port district of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo, bound for the UK's largest container port, Felixstowe. This marks the official opening of the world's first Arctic express container route between China and Europe.
According to available information, on September 22, the Istanbul Bridge completed loading over 1,000 TEU containers in the Beilun port district of Zhoushan Port. The vessel will travel along the Northern Sea Route (Northeast Passage) directly to Europe. The one-way journey to the port of Felixstowe will take just 18 days. This is a new record, following the launch of the route to the German port of Wilhelmshaven in late 2024, which took 26 days.
The China-Europe Arctic Express Route is a major achievement in realizing the construction of the "Ice Silk Road" under the Belt and Road Initiative and will provide faster and lower-carbon international logistics options for Chinese industries such as high-tech manufacturing, cross-border e-commerce and new energy.
