en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, at the Yangtze River Delta Smart Shipping Network Enhancement and Integrated Application Symposium, it was learned that Shanghai has built over 2,300 maritime 5G base stations, significantly improving coastal 5G coverage. A number of benchmark projects have been implemented, including autonomous driving at Yangshan Port and the collaborative deployment of 5G+satellite internet for domestically produced large cruise ships.
Over the past three years, the Shanghai Combined Port Management Committee Office, in collaboration with multiple departments including communications, maritime affairs, and port and shipping, has solidly advanced the "5G Embracing the Sea" initiative. Efforts have been made in multiple areas, such as reaching consensus on regional coordination, continuously strengthening the network foundation, driving data-driven integration and innovation, and forming demonstrations through pilot projects. Significant results have been achieved in fields like offshore network coverage, maritime base station development, and smart shipping scenario applications.
Leveraging its waterway advantages connecting rivers to the sea, Jiangsu has built an integrated "offshore 5G + deep-sea satellite" space-terrestrial communication system to empower waterway management and maritime emergency response. Zhejiang has focused on building a "broadband maritime frontier," establishing a "space-air-ground" three-dimensional network, and concentrating on cross-regional application scenarios and joint emergency defense mechanisms. Anhui, taking the "10 Gigabit Yangtze River" as a starting point, promotes the deep integration of 5G-A and integrated sensing technologies with ports and waterway supervision along the river. Network coverage in the Yangtze River mainline area is continuously being enhanced, with deepened 5G slicing applications and exploration of 6G pilot projects.
During the symposium, the communications and maritime authorities of the three provinces and one municipality jointly released the "Initiative on Information and Communication Technology Empowering the Integrated Development of Smart Shipping in the Yangtze River Delta." The initiative proposes that stakeholders in the Yangtze River Delta region build consensus and deepen cooperation from eight dimensions: deepening collaborative linkage, consolidating the communication foundation, promoting ship-shore coordination, building a data system, conducting pilot projects, adhering to joint construction and sharing, improving guarantee mechanisms, and anchoring phased goals. The aim is to take the lead in building a national pilot zone, demonstration zone, and innovation source for smart shipping development.
At the same time, the symposium officially launched the compilation of the "Yangtze River Delta Smart Shipping 2030 Communication Enhancement and Integrated Application Action Plan." Ling Guiyang, Deputy Director of the Secretariat of the Shanghai Combined Port Management Committee Office, introduced the outline of the action plan, providing action guidance for the regional collaborative promotion of smart shipping network construction.
