en.Wedoany.com Reported - Around 17:00 on April 1, the vessel "YUCHANG 8", carrying approximately 3080 tons of granite manufactured sand, departed from the Xiaocuo Logistics Terminal in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China, bound for Kinmen. According to statistics from the Xiaocuo Immigration Border Inspection Station, in the first quarter of 2026, the number of vessels sailing directly from Xiaocuo Port to Kinmen reached 71, a year-on-year increase of 82.05%; the total volume of import and export goods was 123,700 tons, a year-on-year increase of 80.14%.

It is reported that vessels sailing directly from Xiaocuo Port to Kinmen mainly transport construction materials and agricultural by-products such as granite chips, quarry stone, manufactured sand, kaolin, petroleum coke, and soybean meal. To enhance customs clearance efficiency, the Xiaocuo Border Inspection Station has opened a "green channel" for these vessels, providing priority approval, priority inspection, and 24/7 customs clearance services, achieving "zero wait" for vessel berthing and "zero delay" for departure.

Manufactured sand is a fine-grained material produced by mechanically crushing and screening rocks such as granite, serving as a substitute for natural sand and widely used in concrete and construction projects. Due to geographical constraints, the Kinmen region has relatively scarce sand and gravel resources for construction. The direct shipping logistics channel from Xiaocuo Terminal provides a stable supply of materials for the local area. In this transport, the "zero wait" and "zero delay" services effectively reduced the port stay time for the "YUCHANG 8" vessel, lowering logistics costs.
