Port Clusters + Multimodal Transport: Regional Supply Chains Redefine Global Delivery Cycles

Component industrial clusters near core ports are reshaping the efficiency standards of global supply chains. In regions like the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, clusters leverage a logistics network of "1-hour land access + 2-hour port arrival," compressing the delivery cycle from factory to international end markets to within 72 hours—40% shorter than traditional layouts.

Behind this advantage is the intelligent upgrade of port logistics: Automated terminals and smart warehousing systems enable full cargo visibility tracking, while multimodal transport models (e.g., rail-sea, river-sea) cut costs by 15% compared to single-mode land transport. Industry forecasts suggest that by 2030, coastal port logistics clusters will handle over 60% of global automotive component cross-border shipments, becoming a key foundation for the industry to meet "zero-inventory" supply chain demands.
