Amidst the rapid global expansion of the new energy industry, overseas demand for energy storage products remains consistently high, presenting new development opportunities for the export of my country-manufactured outdoor energy storage cabinets. Recently, Shanghai Nangang Port successfully facilitated the export of its first shipment of battery energy storage cabinets. Notably, this marks the first instance of such cargo being shipped in bulk form through the Shanghai port, signifying a further broadening of my country's export channels for energy storage enclosures. This milestone accelerates the pace at which domestic products venture into international markets, injecting fresh momentum into the global expansion of China's new energy sector.
On March 22, the bulk carrier "Kraszewski"-loaded with 46 outdoor energy storage cabinets from a domestic brand-safely departed from Shanghai Nangang Port. The vessel has embarked on a 40-day voyage, with its final destination being the Port of Sagunto in Spain. It is reported that the brand behind this shipment of modular integrated battery storage cabinets has already successfully secured a framework agreement this year to supply over 1 GWh of energy storage systems to the European market. This export shipment serves not only as a pivotal strategic move for the company to expand its overseas presence but also powerfully demonstrates the core competitiveness of domestic brands in the field of energy storage system cabinets.

The export of this first bulk shipment of industrial solar energy storage systems marks a significant milestone, breaking through the limitations previously constraining the transportation modes for energy storage system exports at the Shanghai port. Solar battery enclosure cabinets are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods under the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code; consequently, their entire transportation and export process is subject to extremely stringent safety control requirements. Furthermore, this specific operation was characterized by a diverse range of cargo types, varying specifications, and high complexity-factors that presented considerable challenges regarding operational assurance. However, the successful establishment of a dedicated bulk cargo export channel has substantially enhanced the export efficiency of this industrial sector.
Shanghai Nangang Terminal is situated adjacent to the Yangshan Special Comprehensive Bonded Zone and the Lingang New Area; this unique geographical advantage provides highly favorable conditions for the export of products such as the Pylontech US5000 cabinet. Currently, Shanghai Lingang is actively accelerating the development of an energy storage industry cluster and continuously driving the high-quality growth of the new energy sector. The implementation of this bulk cargo export channel further refines the supporting infrastructure for the energy storage industry's export operations, effectively catering to the diverse export requirements of various energy storage products, including outdoor energy storage cabinets.
The booming export market for energy storage products owes much to robust policy support. Yangshan Customs continues to leverage policy dividends-specifically facilitation measures such as "entry-into-zone tax refunds" and "consolidated declarations for split shipments" within the Special Comprehensive Bonded Zone-to fully ensure the efficient and unhindered flow of the export supply chain for LiFePO4 battery energy storage system cabinets. Concurrently, by utilizing the "Zone-Port Direct Access" mechanism and intelligent regulatory models, the customs authority has achieved automated front-end identification, automated back-end data matching, and automated system clearance, thereby significantly boosting the overall logistics efficiency of the entire process-from entry into the bonded zone to final vessel loading.
To facilitate the global expansion of China's "New Three" export pillars (electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar products), the Administrative Committee of the Lingang New Area has proactively undertaken strategic planning for the emerging energy storage industry. This involves attracting relevant enterprises, providing support for technological breakthroughs, product R&D, and project implementation, and driving the iterative upgrading of products. Within this context, the R&D and export of integrated energy storage cabinets have emerged as a key highlight of the industry's development.
Statistical data indicates that during the first two months of this year, Shanghai's exports of lithium batteries reached 7.57 billion RMB-a year-on-year increase of 94.9%-underscoring the robust momentum of new energy product exports at the Shanghai port. This inaugural bulk shipment export of modular battery energy storage systems from Shanghai further sustains the surging export trend of the "New Three" pillars, while also providing valuable practical experience that can serve as a reference for the globalized development of my country's energy storage industry.
Yangshan Customs has further refined and formulated 20 specific implementation measures across six key areas. Centered on the objectives of "zero-time-lag risk control, zero-distance operational oversight, and seamless internal controls," these initiatives leverage digital and intelligent technologies to facilitate the accelerated global expansion of new energy products, while continuously optimizing the business environment at the port. These measures have not only reduced customs clearance times for enterprises and lowered logistics costs but also provided robust support for the export of various energy storage products-including solar battery storage cabinets.

As global carbon neutrality goals advance, overseas demand for energy storage products is set to continue its upward trajectory; consequently, my country's industry for outdoor cabinet-type energy storage systems is currently embracing unprecedented opportunities for growth. The successful export of Shanghai's first bulk shipment of outdoor energy storage cabinets has not only broadened export channels but also underscored the technological prowess of domestic brands. Looking ahead, as industrial clusters continue to mature and favorable policies yield sustained benefits, domestically produced energy storage products are poised to secure an increasingly prominent position within the global market.
