In recent years, especially since the founding of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the shipping industry in Pudong has made great strides. Pudong is focusing on the collection, development and application of big data, so as to establish a unified public credit information service platform for the district as a starting point to build a public data sharing platform, including shipping enterprises. "
Deputy Secretary & CEO of Shanghai International Port Group Jun Yan said, "In the future, big data allows customers of the Yangtze River to transport containers just like buying a plane ticket. They can choose the optimal solution themselves. "
