The "Volga" cargo ship has marked the official opening of COSCO Shipping South America West Line 3 (WSA3), the first direct route from Guangzhou Port to Chancay Port, Peru. The route, which plans to deploy 11 ships for weekly operation, is expected to shorten shipping time and make the flow of import and export goods more efficient, potentially reducing logistics costs for enterprises by about 20%. Guangzhou Port has opened 150 'Belt and Road' shipping routes, with Nansha Customs supervising over 1.83 million import and export containers in the first quarter of the year, marking a year-on-year increase of 38.4%.
