Yesterday afternoon, the Honglan ship lock in Lishui District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province was officially opened to navigation, marking the formal restoration of the navigation function of the whole Qinhuai river channel. As an important tributary of the Yangtze River, the Qinhuai river channel can promote the construction of Nanjing "King" shaped water transport network and regional shipping logistics, and improve the coverage and connectivity of the Yangtze River delta channel network. It is estimated that by 2025, the freight volume of Qinhuai river channel will reach 16.7 million tons, which can save 230million yuan of freight and 85000 tons of carbon emissions compared with road transportation.
