"The Pearl River, the nation's second-largest river in terms of freight volume after the Yangtze, has played a big part in promoting economic development and cooperation among the provinces and regions along the waterway," Wang added.
Meanwhile, more than 27.5 billion yuan ($3.93 billion) has been invested in construction of waterway transport infrastructure facilities along the Pearl River in 2023, more than twice the investment seen in 2022, said Wang, adding that last year, the Pearl River and its tributaries had a total of 102 water transport engineering construction projects in operation, involving investment of more than 177 billion yuan.
The record high investment in the construction of waterway transport infrastructure facilities along the Pearl River has not only helped to promote the high-quality development of the waterway's transportation, but has also promoted optimization of the layout of industries along the river which links inland areas with Hong Kong and Macao, said Wang.
"And the advanced inland waterway transport system has helped transfer industries to the vast Chinese central and western regions with support for the implementation of major strategies, including construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area," Wang said.
He said his administration will continue to speed up construction of environmentally friendly "green model channels" along the waterway to protect the ecology of the country's third-longest river system through the introduction of more new high-technology and artificial intelligence breakthroughs in the new year.

A massive waterway project between the Yangtze and the Huaihe rivers is set to test its water diversion and navigation capabilities by the year's end.
The project, with a length of over 1,000 kilometers, will be the second major north-south waterway after the existing Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which zigzags some 1,794 km.
The total length includes 723 km of the newly developed three sections, over 400 km of the existing Yangtze waterway in Anhui and the existing Huaihe navigable waterway.
The corridor connects important transport links, including the China-Europe Railway Express services and the Yangtze River golden waterway, as well as economic corridors and circles in areas such as the Indo-China Peninsula and the Pacific.
Stretching 140 kilometers and requiring an estimated investment of 68 billion yuan ($10.7 billion), the canal will link the Xijiang River, a major waterway in southwestern China, with ports in the Beibu Gulf.

To resolve the shortage of truck drivers and prevent logistical delays, Taicang Port, facilitated by Nanjing Customs, has been helping export-oriented companies in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, ship containers to ports in Shanghai via waterway transshipment.
The Taicang-Shanghai waterway transshipment service has transported a total of 59,000 TEUs, containing goods such as electronic products and auto parts, to Shanghai in March, soaring 68 percent on a yearly basis, according to Customs data.
Once clearances for such international cargo are completed by Taicang Customs, they can be shipped along the waterway in between four and six hours to Yangshan Port, Waigaoqiao Port and Wusong Port in Shanghai, said Zou Wei, customer service manager at Taicang-based Suzhou Modern Terminal Co Ltd. Chen Yixin, head of the logistics department at VAG Water Systems (Taicang) Co Ltd, a valve manufacturer invested by Germany's VAG Group, said costs of water transportation and truck delivery to Shanghai's Yangshan Port were previously similar, but land transport was typically faster.
It is also hard to find available truck drivers these days, and road transport has become more expensive than waterway transport services.

With the new railway line running more than 10 meters above the ground, the water diversion project between China's longest river－the Yangtze, which traverses through southern Anhui for some 400 kilometers－and the Huaihe River, which runs through northern Anhui, can now run a 200-meter-wide waterway beneath the new line, said Liu Chuanghui from CTCE Fourth Engineering.
"A 200-meter-wide waterway needs to pass underneath the Shanghai-Chengdu high-speed railway.
The existing line isn't able to meet the waterway's navigation demand, necessitating a relocation," he said.
"With the smooth transfer of the new line, the digging of the waterway will start soon, and it helps complete the water diversion project on time," he said.

For vessels yet to reach the human-made waterway, there are other options, but that would significantly increase the transit time for ships between Asia and Europe, experts said.
There are 1.2 billion metric tons of cargo moving through the waterway annually, and about 1.9 million barrels of oil are shipped through the Suez Canal each day, according to the Suez Canal Authority and Lloyd's List Intelligence.
