On the first day of opening, the New Huanggang Port operated smoothly
On October 12th, the rebuilt Huanggang Port in Shenzhen officially opened, welcoming its first customs clearance day. There were 79500 inbound and outbound passengers and 8000 vehicles throughout the day, and the on-site passenger and traffic flow was stable and orderly. Innovative measures such as Shenzhen Hong Kong collaborative inspection and intelligent supervision received their first practical test.
The total construction area of the Xinhuanggang Port Joint Inspection Building is nearly 700000 square meters, adopting a three-dimensional layout of five floors above ground and four floors underground, with a single building scale ranking among the top land ports in the world. The designed daily carrying capacity of the port is 200000 passengers and 15000 cross-border vehicles. The vehicle clearance carrying capacity ranks first among land ports in Shenzhen Customs District. The first day traffic is within a reasonable range, and the clearance space is sufficient.
On that day, many commuters from Shenzhen and Hong Kong came to experience the new customs clearance process. Now, all the procedures can be completed in just a few minutes, and the commuting efficiency has been greatly improved, "said Mr. Wang, who travels between Shenzhen and Hong Kong all year round. His intuitive experience is a vivid epitome of the iterative upgrade of the customs clearance mode at the New Huanggang Port.
The new Huanggang Port has implemented the leading "one place, two inspections" model nationwide, and implemented a new "cooperative inspection, one-time release" customs clearance mechanism, completely restructuring the customs clearance process. In terms of passenger clearance, the port has pioneered the establishment of a "three in one" passenger cooperative inspection channel. Among them, the self-service entry channel adopts an integrated gate design, equipped with equipment such as information collection and verification, infrared temperature measurement, and intelligent health declaration, integrating the inspection and quarantine functions of the Hong Kong Immigration Department, Shenzhen Customs, and Shenzhen Border Inspection. At the same time, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have implemented the "one inspection, two releases" health quarantine policy, breaking down barriers to information sharing, mutual recognition of results, and law enforcement assistance, streamlining quarantine procedures, and reducing customs clearance time.
While the passenger experience continues to be optimized, the efficiency of cross-border vehicle clearance has also been comprehensively upgraded. To solve the problem of "multiple stops, multiple inspections, and repeated queues" for cross-border vehicles in the past, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have innovatively launched the "Five in One" vehicle cooperation inspection channel for the first time, integrating the inspection functions of Shenzhen Customs, Shenzhen Border Inspection, Hong Kong Customs, Hong Kong Immigration Department, and Hong Kong Department of Health, and completing vehicle information collection and system verification in one stop, achieving "one stop, one inspection, and collaborative release".
In the Customs Joint Action Center of the Joint Inspection Building, Shenzhen Customs officers closely monitor the LED screen, analyze the port operation situation in real time, and dispatch and command in a timely manner. This level uses 1:1 digital modeling to real-time grasp the entire process of passenger and vehicle clearance, achieving 24-hour intelligent inspection and warning, accurately identifying abnormal situations such as peak passenger flow, and deploying regulatory forces in a timely manner.
We have established an intelligent supervision system that follows the trend of supervision and seamless customs clearance. We have fully deployed a number of cutting-edge technological equipment such as intelligent inspection stations, intelligent eyewear individual systems, intelligent warehouse climbing robots, and the country's first multi view small car inspection equipment at ports, empowering technology to simplify the inspection process and improve the accuracy of verification. The intelligent inspection station integrates multiple functions such as document reading, bill recognition, item verification, and business processing, achieving one-stop completion of passenger customs clearance inspection. "Wang Yuanye, Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Department of Huanggang Customs Travel Inspection Division 2 under Shenzhen Customs, introduced.
In addition, focusing on the needs of public health protection and convenient passage, Shenzhen Customs has put into use a smart health and quarantine workshop, equipped with a health and quarantine registration integrated machine that can achieve self-service registration and rapid temperature retesting of passengers through multilingual human-machine dialogue. The smart health and quarantine cabin is equipped with intelligent epidemiological investigation and analysis software based on AI models, making the health and quarantine process more efficient and the service more intimate.
Carrying the elderly and children through customs, the biggest fear is going around. Now I have completed all the procedures in the mezzanine, without having to go to other floors, which is both worry free and effortless, "sighed Ms. Li, a passenger. The Xinhuanggang Port has set up a vehicle inspection hall in the mezzanine of the vehicle inspection level, realizing the separation of people and vehicles, and zoning inspection. Passengers who take cross-border small buses can complete all customs inspection procedures nearby, without the need to travel back and forth across floors. The spatial layout of the port fully considers the travel needs of different groups. The travel inspection and entry hall has added a middle passage on the basis of the original east-west passage, which is specifically designed to facilitate the passage of cross-border students, the elderly, the weak, pregnant and disabled.
The opening of Xinhuanggang Port will effectively promote the circulation of elements in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and transform port traffic into incremental regional coordinated development.
