On the morning of February 4th, "Minjiang No.1", a 1,000-ton dual-purpose cargo ship invested and built by Nanping Industrial Park in Fujian Province, arrived at Nanping Port for delivery after four months of construction. It is the largest dual-purpose cargo ship in the shipping history of Minjiang River, marking that Fujian inland river is entering the era of 1,000-ton freight transportation. 

"Minjiang No.1" has a designed packing capacity of 54 TEUs and a full freight volume of 1,000 tons. It will be operated and used by a state-owned logistics company established by the Administrative Committee of Nanping Industrial Park to better serve the development of the shipping industry of Minjiang River. 

It is known that Nanping Port officially opened in December 2022, and the main stream of Minjiang River was open to shipping, which kicked off the river-sea coordinated transport in Fujian. In the past year, Nanping Port achieved a breakthrough in annual freight volume of 50,000 tons only by two 500-ton cargo ships. Facing the ever-increasing freight shipping demand, Nanping Industrial Park has invested in the construction of five 1,000-ton cargo ships. Except for the "Minjiang No.1" cargo ship, the other four will be delivered in the near future. 

Since Minjiang River was open to shipping, the freight liner of Nanping Port has sailed 220 voyages, and the cumulative cargo throughput of the port has reached 55,000 tons. The development framework of road-rail-water intermodal transport with Nanping Port as the core has basically taken shape.
