3. Bofeng Logistics Experience Sharing
Bofeng Logistics Experience Sharing: Nansha Port is different from Huangpu Port (Guangzhou's old port) — Nansha is a deep-water outer port capable of berthing ultra-large vessels; Huangpu is a river port with shallower water depths. The rise of Nansha Port has enabled Guangzhou Port to accommodate the world's largest container ships. The Nansha Free Trade Port Zone offers bonded logistics and export processing functions. For cargo from Foshan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and other areas on the west bank of the Pearl River, exporting via Nansha Port is the shortest land transport option — saving 1-2 hours of trucking time compared to exporting via Shenzhen Port.
4. Shipping Recommendations
Nansha Port offers a free storage period of 3-5 days. Nansha Port and Huangpu Port are approximately 70 km apart, together forming the complete system of Guangzhou Port.
