By 2025, the number of inbound and outbound passengers at Qingdao International Cruise Home Port will increase by over 20%

According to statistics from Qingdao Dagang Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, the cumulative number of inbound and outbound passengers at Qingdao International Cruise Home Port will reach 106000 in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%. Among them, the number of cruise passengers will reach 73000, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%.

As the only professional international cruise port in Shandong Province, Qingdao International Cruise Home Port not only has boutique cruise routes, but also the only regularly operated international passenger and cargo liner route in Qingdao, "Xinjinqiao 5". In recent years, with the continuous release of visa free policy dividends, Qingdao International Cruise Home Port has become an increasingly popular travel choice for cross-border travelers.

By 2025, we will receive 49 cruise ships, a year-on-year increase of 40%, and have successfully added a 'new member'. The first domestically produced large cruise ship, the 'Aida Modu', has made its maiden voyage in Qingdao, "said Li Yueyan, Deputy General Manager of Qingdao International Cruise Co., Ltd.

To ensure efficient and smooth customs clearance, Qingdao Dagang Customs relies on the "Virtual Joint Inspection Center" mechanism to coordinate and dispatch port supervision resources in advance, formulate emergency response plans, strengthen communication with border defense, maritime, port and other departments, and continuously optimize the port clearance process.

We dynamically integrate manpower and information through the 'Virtual Joint Inspection Center' to achieve information sharing and collaborative operations. Based on real-time passenger flow, we support the travel inspection site at any time and jointly carry out passenger clearance guidance, luggage inspection, and other work. The overall clearance efficiency has been improved by about 30%, "said Hu Xiao, head of the Travel Inspection Department of Qingdao Dagang Customs. (Zhang Yue/Text)
