Auto shipments from Nansha port set to boom

Following the docking of two car-carrier ships recently at the automobile terminal berth of the Nansha automobile port in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, exports of automobiles through the port are expected to increase significantly, the port company said.

After their successful docking in early February, both ships will be fully loaded with cars bound for Central America, South America and the Middle East, imparting strong momentum to China's automobile exports, according to the port company.

The Bahamian ships — Gravity Highway and Progress Ace — became the largest car carriers to dock at the Nansha automobile port since its opening, as they are widely regarded as "super behemoths" and "super cargo kings".
