As China's first shipping-themed "Belt and Road" international integrated logistics platform construction, the "Silk Road Shipping" e-commerce express line from Xiamen Port to Manila Port in the Philippines has been opened for one year since last June, and the container throughput has reached nearly 30,000 TEUs, with a total value of over RMB 10.3 billion.
With the help of the "Belt and Road" initiative, Xiamen is actively developing the "Silk Road Shipping" route, using 5G, big data and other technologies to realize terminal automation, greening and digital upgrading. One of the typical examples is China's first fully automated terminal with independent intellectual property rights - Xiamen Yuanhai Container Automation Terminal.

Behind us, we see an automated crane and an automated horizontal transport vehicle. So our current railway construction track crane is also an automated model. In the future, we will see the unmanned one later. Trucks will also replace our traditional manual trailers to realize a connection between railway containers and sea ships.
On the unmanned wharf, containers are lifted precisely and placed on unmanned vehicles for transportation. This highly automated wharf is called "Devil's Wharf" by the industry. Xiamen Yuanhai Wharf has realized "5G + Beidou + unmanned driving" In-depth integration, cargo access to many ports around the world, including ports in countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”.
