Maersk claims first international relay shipment in China

Maersk is claiming China’s first coastal relay of international cargo by a foreign ocean carrier, marking a “milestone” in China’s opening of its cabotage market to foreign carriers.

The relay involved 27 containers from Vancouver, Canada which were loaded onto the container vessel Merete Maersk for transshipment from Shanghai’s Yangshan terminal to Tianjin, Maersk said.

In China, international cargo relay shipments between two Chinese ports have historically been considered cabotage and therefore prohibited to foreign carriers. Carriers instead use Busan, Singapore and other international ports for transshipment.

But in 2019, China State Council’s launched a plan to boost the development of the international shipping center in Shanghai and, in November 2021, China’s Ministry of Transport announced that international cargo relay would be allowed on a trial basis until the end of 2024. Based on certain conditions and criteria, qualified carriers can use its owned vessels to carry out international cargo relay between Shanghai Yangshan and northern Chinese ports, including Dalian, Tianjin and Qingdao.

“We are proud to be the first foreign company that successfully implements international cargo relay in China,” said Soren Skou, CEO at A.P. Moller – Maersk.

“Transshipment in Shanghai allows us to improve services through optimized networks and could also address some of the factors behind the bottlenecks in Chinese supply chains, shortening transit times, reducing emissions and freeing up additional capacity for our customers. We appreciate this initiative by the Chinese authorities. It is an important step towards optimizing regulations, and we hope it will serve as an inspiration in other geographies where restrictions on international relay still exist.”
