From January to October this year, Taicang Port handled over 100.46 million tonnes of foreign trade cargo, marking a year-on-year increase of 7.88% and reaching this milestone nearly a month earlier than last year.

This also marks the second consecutive year that Taicang Port’s foreign trade cargo throughput has surpassed 100 million tonnes.

Taicang Port is seizing export opportunities in emerging industries such as photovoltaics, wind energy, new energy vehicles, and large-capacity energy storage cabinets. It has actively expanded exports of high-value, high-tech and low-carbon products, aiming to establish itself as a central export hub for new energy products.

Statistics show that, in the first ten months of this year, Taicang Port exported 12,330 energy storage cabinets and 390,400 vehicles (a 14.57% increase year-on-year), including 126,900 new energy vehicles.

Private enterprises are playing a significant role in these exports. For example, Suzhou-based Real Film saw its export sales increase by 2% year-on-year in the first ten months. The modern enterprise is engaged in R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service of POF heat shrinkable film. With strengthened quality control and product performance testing, it has exported products to around 50 countries and regions, commonly used in cosmetics, food, and daily goods.
