1. Core Route Advantages
As the core port for China's northern trade with South Korea, Weihai Port shares the status of a northern Yellow Sea hub with Incheon Port. This shipping route is hailed as the “Golden Channel” for China-South Korea trade. Compared to other ports, this route offers three key advantages: First, it boasts the shortest distance—240-260 nautical miles—with standard cargo ships reaching their destination in 12-15 hours and high-speed vessels completing the journey in just 8-12 hours. Second, it offers frequent sailings with six weekly fixed departures and extended cut-off times, flexibly accommodating customer delivery schedules. Third, it ensures controllable costs. Leveraging the policy benefits of the China-Korea Free Trade Agreement and economies of scale, both FCL and LCL rates are highly competitive, with ocean freight costs amounting to just 1/5 to 1/10 of air freight expenses.
