On November 18, reporters learned from the Promotion Meeting for the Yangtze River Shipping Credit System Construction and the Credit Work Symposium for Port and Shipping Enterprises that the construction of the Yangtze River shipping credit system has currently entered a new stage of improving quality, increasing efficiency, and comprehensive deepening, initially establishing a governance framework of exemplary significance.
The meeting pointed out that balancing development and security, and systematically building a security-centric credit system is not only an important political task assigned by the state, but also an inherent requirement for promoting the high-quality development of Yangtze River shipping. The Yangtze River shipping credit system incorporates safety supervision information such as accidents, hazards, and administrative penalties into credit files, promoting a shift in the regulatory model from “one violation, one penalty” to “one act of dishonesty, restrictions everywhere.” This effectively achieves “reducing costs and increasing benefits” for the trustworthy and “paying the price and losing the market” for the untrustworthy, forming a virtuous development pattern where “safety supports credit, and credit empowers safety.”
The meeting emphasized that the construction of the Yangtze River shipping credit system will focus on expanding “credit + market” application scenarios, promoting credit management throughout the entire chain of crew management, cargo owner ship selection, and port ship selection; increasing support for “credit + industry” to assist the industry’s green and low-carbon transformation; and enhancing the “credit + service” experience by implementing measures such as green channels for government services and exclusive benefits for offline services. Simultaneously, it will strengthen cross-regional coordination, join hands with transportation authorities in provinces and cities along the river to establish unified standards, promote platform interoperability, and improve joint incentives and punishments.
The meeting released the 2024 list of “Top Ten and Top Hundred” entities in Yangtze River shipping credit and the “Yangtze River Shipping Credit System Construction White Paper,” and commended advanced representatives.
