On November 4, 2025, Tianjin Port welcomed the simultaneous launch of two new container routes to Southeast Asia, further densifying and expanding its international shipping network.

  That afternoon, the “Chang Sheng” vessel, jointly operated by Evergreen Marine, Yang Ming Marine Transport, and Wan Hai Lines, departed from Tianjin Port's Eurasia International Container Terminal bound for Surabaya and Jakarta ports in Indonesia. The ship was fully loaded with diverse cargo including fresh pears, dairy products, and construction machinery. This route primarily serves maritime trade between China, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

  On the same day, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company's Southeast Asia Sambar route commenced operations with the vessel “Diego” departing Tianjin Port. This route will primarily cover key ports in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, providing more efficient and convenient direct services for cargo exchanges while effectively reducing overall shipping times.

  Tianjin Port authorities noted that the simultaneous launch of these two new routes significantly enhances the service density and frequency of routes connecting Tianjin Port with Southeast Asia. This initiative not only strengthens Tianjin Port's connectivity as a northern shipping hub but also establishes a tighter, smoother maritime logistics corridor for economic and trade exchanges between China's North China and Northeast regions and Southeast Asian nations.

  Separate data indicates that Tianjin Port Group delivered steady performance in the first three quarters of 2025, achieving a cumulative cargo throughput of 385 million tons—a 1.6% year-on-year increase—and container throughput of 18.92 million TEUs, up 3.2% year-on-year. This continues to solidify its pivotal role within China's domestic and international trade logistics systems.
