From the industry's industry's actual use of foreign capital is RMB 28.78 billion, and the service industry's actual use of foreign capital is RMB 66.78 billion. The actual use of foreign capital in high-tech manufacturing industry is RMB 12.24 billion, accounting for 12.5% ​​of the actual use of foreign capital in the country, an increase of 0.8 percentage points from the whole year of 2024. The actual use of foreign capital in pharmaceutical manufacturing and scientific and technological achievement transformation services increased by 68.4% and 23.9% respectively.

From the source point of view, the actual investment in China in the United Kingdom, South Korea, the Netherlands and Japan increased by 324.4%, 104.3%, 76.1% and 40.7% respectively (including investment data through the Free Port). Shanghai Port's container throughput exceeded 5 million TEUs in January

The reporter learned from Shanghai Customs that in the past January, Shanghai Port's container throughput exceeded 5 million TEUs, creating a historical high of single-month throughput. Among them, Yangshan Port accounts for more than 50% of its throughput with 2.53 million TEUs.

Commercial started after the holiday, and more than 10 ships from each container terminal of Shanghai Yangshan Port were in the port at the same time, ushering in a new round of production operations.

The reporter learned from Shanghai Customs that at present, there are more than 8,000 customs registered enterprises within the jurisdiction of Yangshan Customs, an increase of more than 1,000 from the whole year of 2024.

Wang Yawei, deputy chief of the Fourth Section of the Comprehensive Business Section of Yangshan Customs, said that since 2025, they have received a total of 33,100 import and export declaration forms, an increase of nearly two percentage points from 2024. These data show that foreign trade operators are growing and the vitality of foreign trade continues to increase. Technology empowers sea-rail intermodal transport, and port logistics efficiency hits a new high

Shandong Port Qingdao Port has ranked first in the country for ten consecutive years. The port operation has been busy since 2025. The utilization of high technology has continuously improved the logistics efficiency here, setting a number of loading and unloading records. The quality improvement of sea-rail intermodal transport has accelerated, and the loading and unloading record has hit a new high

Shandong Port Qingdao Port is a busy scene. "Made in China" from all over the country sets here and goes to the world, and goods from all over the world land here and enter the Chinese market. A train full of furniture shipped from Henan will be loaded through Qingdao Port and shipped to the Americas. The pier where they loaded ships is only 200 meters away. The goods are unloaded from the train and go to the loading and unloading terminal through the "direct-to-direct" express passage, which takes only 11 minutes at the fastest. Immediately afterwards, these containers will be lifted by the dock bridge crane and transported to the ship like an elevator. The whole process is very convenient.

In the past, when sending goods, railways, highways, waterways and other transportation methods had to be transferred to their destinations through multiple transits. Now, such sea-rail intermodal transport has achieved seamless connection between sea and railway transportation through the simplified process of "one declaration, one inspection, and one release", which has improved the stability of transportation, saved 15%-30% of logistics costs, and greatly improved logistics efficiency. In the first month of 2025, the monthly loading and unloading container volume of the Sea-Rail Transport Center exceeded 90,000 TEUs for the first time, setting a record high. "Unmanned Driving" IGV smart flatbed transport vehicle improves operating efficiency

This is the unmanned autonomous IGV vehicle being tested by the port. It relies on the Beidou navigation system, and the system will calculate the optimal driving route in real time. Compared with traditional manual scheduling strategies, its operating efficiency can be improved by 23.5%, reducing carbon emissions by more than 400 tons per year. The "logistics artifact" FTR lock is accurately measured to protect the safety of operations. There is also a smart "logistics artifact" on the front crane - the FTR lock. This is a patent independently developed by Shandong Port. It is hidden in an inconspicuous position of the crane, but it plays an important role in the safety of loading and unloading operations. In the past, every container had to be weighed over before shipping.

Now, the front crane only needs to gently pull the container, and the built-in weight sensor of the FTR lock can accurately measure the weight of the container and transmit it to the display in the cab in real time. In addition, there is also a built-in laser rangefinder that can detect the distance between the container and the pallet, and the cab displays the lifting height in real time to ensure operational safety, while greatly improving loading and unloading efficiency. Sea-rail intermodal transport to build a two-way international logistics channel for sea and land

At present, Shandong Port has built a 170,000-square-meter sea-rail intermodal transport center, 4 850-meter sea-rail intermodal transport container dedicated operation lines, 3 warehouses covering an area of ​​25,000 square meters, and 101 container train lines have been opened and operated. In order to reduce costs, improve quality and increase efficiency in logistics and transportation, in 2025, the Sea-Rail Intermodal Transport Center also launched a series of new measures. On the one hand, we will create a new modern "highway inland port" model integrating logistics, warehousing, transportation and information. On the other hand, with railway advantages as the core, port hash shipping customers are integrated and new port shipping agency service functions are added. We strive to achieve a sea-rail intermodal transport container volume exceeding 1 million TEU by 2025.
