Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-01

On the shore of the Yellow and Bohai Seas, the tide is strong and the kinetic energy is surging. The traffic of ships coming and going, the arms rise and fall, and the torrent of ship routes and trajectories are rushing endlessly, connecting the development pulse of China and the world.

Founded in 1899, Dalian Port has a history of more than 100 years, and is one of the most important international ports in China. In recent years, Dalian has been given the strategic positioning of "Northeast Asia International Shipping Center", "Northeast Asia International Logistics Center" and "Regional Financial Center". Today, Dalian Port has become a transshipment center for more than 96% of foreign trade containers, 100% of commercial vehicles, and more than 60% of foreign trade containers in Northeast China, consolidating the status of a regional comprehensive transportation hub with the port as the core, and steadily helping the construction of the "three centers" to a new level.

Liaoning Frontier Inspection Station Dalian Frontier Inspection Station actively integrates into the national development strategy, expands the service results of border inspection to benefit enterprises and people, and promotes the steady and far-reaching development of Dalian port in high-level opening up.

Conform to the call of the times

Help open the door wider and wider

Standing on the high-rise building in Dalian port area overlooking, the coastline is like a ribbon winding, blue and clear, and on the shoreline side, the cargo ships at the wharf berth come and go, and the turnover is endless.

The opening door is opening wider and wider, which puts forward higher requirements for the opening capacity and operation efficiency of Dalian port. During the investigation, the Dalian Border Inspection Station found that some informal berths at the port were open to the outside world, affecting the efficiency of production and operation of enterprises, restricting development, and also bringing difficulties to the border inspection authorities to control according to law.

In the previous 'one ship, one discussion' approval mode, we often had to apply for approval more than ten days in advance, which was relatively inefficient. COSCO Shipping Kawasaki Marine Engineering General Manager said.

Since 2023, the station has comprehensively rolled out the cleaning of berths at the wharf, sorted out the opening of berths in an all-round way, and jointly set up a special working class with the Dalian ** Port Office to go deep into relevant enterprises to ask about practical difficulties, provide policy advice, follow-up guidance and assistance, and successively promote more than 20 problems to be solved. At present, it has successively helped 73 berths in Dalian port to pass the acceptance and officially open to the outside world.

After the official opening of the original informal berths, international voyage ships can achieve 'on-the-go approval' and 'on-the-go' after the entry procedures of the joint inspection units at the port are completed, the waiting time for ships to berth and unberth has been greatly reduced, and the efficiency of the berths in Hong Kong has been fully released. Dalian Border Inspection Station Director Lu Zilong introduced.

Nowadays, the ship realizes "coming and calling", it is estimated that each ship can save more than 6 hours of berthing procedure approval time on average, and Dalian Port can rely on more than 300 ships every year, which is expected to save tens of millions of yuan in operating costs for enterprises every year.

Time is of the essence. Zhang Hao, manager of Dalian Container Terminal, said: "The border inspection authorities have simplified the procedures and improved the speed of ship inspection and release, which has greatly saved time and economic costs. ”

From customs clearance and berthing to operation departure, every minute saved is a real benefit for international shipping and logistics companies. In order to minimize the detention time of large ships, the station has launched "zero waiting" for ships arriving at the port and "zero delay" for departure. From the completion of ship customs clearance procedures at one time, to the online handling of border inspection administrative permits, from "only running once" to "not having to run once", the dividends of the immigration management service reform policy have been continuously released, which has improved the level of customs clearance facilitation, simplified the administrative approval process, and promoted port and shipping logistics enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

The members of the "Party Member Service Team" stationed in Hong Kong arrived at the designated place as soon as possible, applied for temporary entry permits for the crew, and assisted the shipping company to send the sick crew to the receiving hospital, so as to gain valuable time for them to receive treatment in time.

In 2023, the station will open more than 80 "green channels" for special ships and injured crew members. From the front of the service window and the green inspection channel, to the characteristic "fresh at sea" and the fingertip micro-service "no run", the station has further expanded the service achievements of border inspection to benefit enterprises and the people, promoted the continuous optimization of the customs clearance environment at the port, and continuously improved the satisfaction and sense of gain of the passengers.
