Singapore Immigration Focus on Singapore Economic Development: A new container shipping route between Qinzhou Port, the largest container port in Western China, and Singapore was recently launched, allowing goods from Southwest China to be shipped directly to Singapore, Europe, and other regions without the need to transit via Hong Kong.
This direct shipping route is operated by Beibu Gulf International Container Terminal Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by the Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group, PSA International, and Pacific International Lines (PIL).
Qinzhou Port is the largest container port along the coast of Western China.

In addition, Qinzhou has launched a “five-fixed” rail-sea intermodal container service to Kunming, completing the transport of 3,912 TEUs, an increase of 83.3% year-on-year.
Supported by Qinzhou Port, the container throughput of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port reached 116,200 TEUs in August this year, a year-on-year increase of 24.43%. From January to August this year, the container throughput of Beibu Gulf Port was 815,800 TEUs, an increase of 18.05% year-on-year.
