The 922nd engineering vehicle from China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. (Sinotruk) was recently shipped from the overseas warehouse of the SMB-Winning Consortium in Guinea, West Africa.
It marks the successful conclusion of breakbulk cargo operations of the SMB-Winning Consortium in 2024.
The year saw a remarkable 206 percent year-on-year growth in breakbulk cargo throughput for the SMB-Winning Consortium, injecting strong momentum into the joint construction of the high-quality Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Since its establishment, Shandong Port Group (SPG) has positioned Yantai Port, its subsidiary and China’s leading gateway for trade with Africa, as a vital player in implementing the BRI.
By establishing China-Africa breakbulk liner routes and launching overseas warehouses, Yantai Port has accelerated the integration of supply chains along the China-Africa two-way logistics corridor, transforming itself from a single port operator into a comprehensive supply chain service provider.
Since the overseas warehouse began operations in September 2024, the project team of the SMB-Winning Consortium has actively collaborated with partners like Winning International Group and Sinotruk.
By optimizing key processes, including customs clearance, storage, inspection and delivery, the warehouse has become a vital node in facilitating smooth logistics.
The project successfully handled goods for five large vessels, reducing supply chain risks for partners in Africa and boosting the international competitiveness of “Made in China” products.
Looking ahead, with the rapid growth of its breakbulk business and evolving client needs, the project team in Guinea remains committed to delivering “more efficient, safer, and more convenient” services. By maximizing operational potential and refining processes, the team aims to further contribute to the high-quality development of SPG’s global business.
