After eight hours of efficient operation and seven hours of binding work, an 87.9-m (96-yd) aluminum alloy ship hull was loaded onto the cargo vessel AAL Dampier at Gaolan Port in Zhuhai to be shipped to Australia.

Built by Guangdong Jiangmen Shipyard Co, the hull weighs 226 tons and marks the largest single ship processed at Gaolan Port.

To ensure successful shipping, thorough preparations were made, and efficient communications were carried out between Zhuhai International Container Terminals (Gaolan), Zhuhai Port & Shipping Management, and the ocean shipping agency.

In recent years, a number of reform measures have been instituted by Zhuhai Port Holdings in terms of expanding businesses, upgrading facilities, simplifying procedures for documents, as well as optimizing port and shipping processes to improve operations and expand functions. The aim is to safeguard equipment manufacturing, marine engineering, and shipbuilding industries in South China and tap into international markets.

Since this year, Zhuhai International Container Terminals (Gaolan) has completed 13 voyages exporting goods to Belt & Road countries. The main cargo covers marine and oil pipelines, oil platforms, yachts, and steel pipes weighing over 110,000 tons.
