China's first cross-border e-commerce express line -- the Silk Road Shipping -- marked the first anniversary of its opening on Saturday by announcing that the overall value of cargo on it topped 10.3 billion yuan (about 1.4 billion U.S. dollars).
The express line has delivered nearly 30,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of e-commerce goods since it was launched on June 10 last year in Xiamen, a coastal city in southeast China's Fujian Province.
The goods mainly included bags and luggage, footwear and clothes, daily necessities and fitness equipment.
The cargo ships on the express line carrying cross-border e-commerce exports depart from the port of Xiamen to the port of Manila, the main seaport for shipments and sea travel to the Philippines.
The only-two-day voyage greatly meets the demand of importing and exporting e-commerce products with a large number of batches and a small number of products in each batch. Such a timeliness is favored by cross-border e-commerce enterprises.
The express line will cover other southeast Asian countries and regions on the routes of the ancient Silk Road in the future, to establish a large-scale and standardized e-commerce shipping network, according to authorities.
The Silk Road Shipping is an alliance jointly initiated in late 2018 by dozens of ports, carriers and logistics service providers in countries on the routes of the Belt and Road.
