China’s Fujian Province has launched a Silk Road Maritime trade data service platform that aggregates global trade and logistics big data and introduced an AI‑based Arctic route meteorological navigation service using Fengyun satellites. The combined system offers analytics for exporters, port and shipping operators, and regulators, while the Arctic module supports safer voyages along northern sea routes through enhanced ice and weather forecasting.
Fujian Port Group has announced the operation of a new Silk Road Maritime trade data service platform designed to serve as a digital hub for global trade information, shipping routes and logistics flows, marking a shift from simple liner network development toward a comprehensive digital maritime ecosystem. Chinese business media report that since its launch the platform has built a large global trade database covering more than 200 countries and regions and millions of product categories, offering market‑insight tools for importers and exporters, route and order analytics for port and shipping/logistics companies, risk‑assessment support for financial institutions, and planning data for government agencies. At the Silk Road Maritime Forum in Xiamen, organizers also highlighted ongoing work on AI‑driven port meteorological risk agents that centralize risk information for dozens of Chinese and foreign ports, including storm proximity and port status indicators.
