Maintain an open theme to consolidate the foundation for the stable development of equipment logistics

In the complex environment of global cross-border investment cooling down and trade protectionism rising, the 26th China International Fair for Trade and Investment (CIFIT) adheres to the permanent theme of “expanding two-way investment and promoting global development together”, injecting certainty into the global shipping and large-scale logistics industry through a normalized and high-level open cooperation mechanism. Large engineering equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers have the characteristics of large volume, high weight, strong precision, and high requirements for customized transportation. Cross border logistics is easily affected by international situations, investment environments, and trade policy fluctuations, and faces problems such as unstable shipping routes, cooperation breakdowns, and cost fluctuations. The Investment and Trade Fair has been continuously building a two-way investment cooperation platform for many years, breaking down international economic and trade barriers, stabilizing the global industrial cooperation pattern, and laying a stable policy and market foundation for the cross-border transportation, circulation, and trade of large-scale infrastructure equipment, so that the overseas logistics of equipment will no longer be affected by global uncertainty.

Dual investment heating up, activating the momentum of the large equipment logistics market

The Investment and Trade Fair focuses on the two-way empowerment of “investing in China” and “Chinese investment”, promoting deep linkage between domestic and foreign industries, continuously driving the two-way circulation demand of large-scale engineering equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers, and driving the steady upgrading of the global large-scale logistics industry. On the one hand, foreign investment in China has shifted from a cost oriented approach to a value, technology, and industry chain synergy oriented approach. Foreign investment in high-tech industries continues to grow, and the demand for overseas infrastructure supporting equipment and high-end engineering equipment imported into China is steadily increasing. On the other hand, China’s outward investment scale remains among the top in the world, covering the vast majority of countries and regions. Chinese enterprises participate in overseas infrastructure projects, driving the mass export of domestically produced rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers, and generating a large number of normalized and large-scale large-scale sea freight logistics orders. The booming trend of two-way investment has thoroughly revitalized the cross-border logistics market for large-scale equipment, forming a demand sufficient and long-term stable industry development pattern.

Upgrading the scale of the grand event and improving the shipping supporting system for large equipment

This year’s Investment and Trade Fair has been comprehensively expanded and upgraded, with improved exhibition space, participation scale, cooperation areas, and supporting activities in all aspects, promoting the aggregation of port and shipping logistics resources, and greatly optimizing the transportation and supporting capabilities of large-scale engineering equipment. For the first time, the exhibition has launched a mechanism of dual guest countries and dual guest provinces, bringing together government, enterprise, and business resources from more than 100 countries and regions around the world. With 14 professional exhibition areas and 100 themed docking activities, it promotes precise docking between the port and shipping, logistics, infrastructure, and equipment industries. At the same time, relying on the advantages of Xiamen’s core port and the mature system of the Silk Road maritime transportation, combined with the strategic cooperation of shipping enterprises, we will continue to optimize hardware support for the loading and unloading, warehousing, transit, and navigation of large cargo. In response to the transportation characteristics of over limit and overweight rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers, we will improve exclusive logistics solutions, effectively solve the pain points of traditional large cargo transportation such as multiple transit points, low efficiency, and poor adaptability, and comprehensively enhance the cross-border transportation carrying capacity.

Open cooperation landing, reducing the comprehensive risk of cross-border logistics of equipment

The Investment and Trade Fair replaces one-way promotion with pragmatic project cooperation, replaces isolated development with multilateral win-win, and builds a safe, efficient, and low-cost cross-border logistics ecosystem for large-scale equipment through normalized project signing, industry docking, and economic and trade linkage. Unlike fragmented shipping cooperation models, the global investment cooperation network established by the China International Fair for Trade and Investment (CIFIT) has opened up bottlenecks in trade clearance, logistics cooperation, and industrial support among countries, simplified the approval and clearance processes for cross-border transportation of large engineering equipment, and reduced logistics delays, additional losses, and other issues. At the same time, deep collaboration between domestic and foreign industries is being promoted to standardize and professionalize logistics services. The entire chain of services, including lifting, reinforcement, ocean transportation, and cross-border after-sales for rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers, is continuously improved to comprehensively reduce risks such as equipment transportation damage, project delays, and cost control, providing customers with stable and reliable logistics support.

Long term win-win pattern, escorting the long-term and stable development of equipment logistics

The enduring and permanent open theme of the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) confirms that two-way investment and mutual benefit are the core trends of global economic and trade development, and also provide long-term development support for the large-scale engineering equipment shipping and logistics industry. The two-way development model of China introducing global resources and exporting development dividends has formed a virtuous cycle for the global circulation of infrastructure equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers, which not only helps domestic equipment companies explore overseas markets, but also facilitates the landing of high-quality overseas equipment in China. In the context of continuously deepening open cooperation, the logistics chain of large-scale shipping continues to improve, services continue to upgrade, and risks continue to decrease, completely eliminating customers’ worries about cross-border equipment transportation and providing lasting impetus for the development of global infrastructure equipment trade and logistics.
