COSCO ASIA, operated by COSCO Shipping Lines, has recently docked at Xiamen Port's Hairun Terminal, marking the launch of the new WSA3 service route between Asia and the west coast of South America and creating another efficient maritime gateway for regional foreign trade.
COSCO ASIA carried around 1,200 containers, exporting various high value-added products, including automobile parts, architectural ceramics, quartz stone resources, and baby necessities.
This fully demonstrates Xiamen Port's capacity as an international shipping hub to drive the development of hinterland industries and maintain global connectivity.
With the new route as its starting point, the Hairun Terminal will continue to improve delivery processes and enhance services, helping customers to explore international markets and injecting new energy into the high-quality development of Xiamen Port.
China will extend its visa-exemption arrangements to France and other countries covered by the policy to Dec 31, 2026.
