Shipping alliance serves many BRI economies

FUZHOU - Loaded with food, clothing and furniture, shipping company MSC's "Seaspan New York" left Xiamen port in East China's Fujian province in early April.

It is the first route that the world's second-largest shipping company has opened to link Xiamen with Southeast Asia to meet growing demand for international trade in the region.

At the port's Haitian Container Terminal, robotic bridge cranes unloaded containers filled with bananas and rubber from a newly arrived cargo ship, and then replaced them with clothing, footwear and electromechanical products.
