The Xinluqiao Terminal in Lianyungang Port was a busy scene of train loading operations on the afternoon of June 1 as the port saw robust growth of cargo volume for five months in a row.

In the first five months of the year, the port handled freights totaling 105 million tons, up 3.46 percent year on year, despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Amid the waning of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, demands for raw materials, such as iron ore, coal and building materials, have bounced back. The port has made efforts to develop new market and optimize the operation to ensure full capacity and high efficiency.

In addition, Lianyungang Port Holding Group has adjusted their strategy of market development and taken the initiative to align with customer needs and market changes. In May, its subsidiary Xinxu Port developed a new business about stainless steel billet with Indonesia and already successfully handled the first batch of 130-ton mega equipment. Another subsidiary of the group, Xin Yuntai Company, has a new client for handling large steel plates.
