The National Development and Reform Commission and six other departments officially released the first batch of 136 national level landmark major application scenario project lists on October 20, 2026. The key selected projects related to ports and green shipping include:
-
Ningbo Zhoushan Port Ship and Vessel Direct Retrieval Innovative Application Scenario Project: Implemented by Zhejiang Port Group in conjunction with railway, customs and other units, focusing on the new business model of "ship and vessel direct retrieval" in ports, and providing engineering verification for new technologies and equipment such as unmanned truck collection, industry models, and full chain data applications. At present, the "shared yard" has been implemented, reducing the number of container operation links from 9 to 7, and driving the growth of container volume in Hong Kong's rail sea intermodal transportation.
-
The integration and large-scale application scenario of green intelligent ships in the Yangtze River Basin: jointly implemented by Huadian Hubei Company, Wuchuang Institute, CSIC 712 Research Institute, Hubei Port Group, etc., relying on Yangtze River shipping to create a "water test field" for green intelligent ships. The Yangluo International Port charging and swapping station has been completed and put into operation, with key breakthroughs in the "ship electricity separation" swapping mode, independent equipment for electric propulsion, and comprehensive energy supply facilities for "electric hydrogen alcohol".
-
Deep sea wind solar collaborative development and zero carbon port comprehensive demonstration project (led by Yancheng): Based on the foundation of tens of millions of kilowatts of offshore wind power clusters, exploring full chain integrated scenarios around deep sea wind solar collaboration, green electricity hydrogen production and green fuel, diversified energy storage, and zero carbon port comprehensive demonstration.
-
National Key WaterOpen linkage of transportation network to promote the application of intelligent logistics technology and optimize the structure of inland and offshore shipping: led by Hefei City and jointly declared by Yangzhou City,Relying on the advantages of the "Yangtze River+Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal" dual golden waterway, we will create an intelligent logistics management platform, construct new infrastructure for transportation and warehousing, innovate and form a new model of river branch linkage logistics, and connect the entire chain of "source collection, branch line consolidation, trunk line transit, and river sea intermodal transportation".
-
Nanjing Beibu Gulf River rail sea multimodal transport full chain open application scenario: According to the scenario plan, Nanjing will focus on the key links of river rail sea multimodal transport, from channel encryption, hub capacity expansion, digital empowerment to green transformation system promotion, truly connecting the three transportation modes into an efficient link. Nanjing and Beibu Gulf will also explore the cross regional "dual flying ground" layout, with Longtan setting up warehouses and flying ground to distribute goods to ASEAN, and Qinzhou setting up overseas warehouses, sharing inventory at both ends of the goods and reducing transit times.
