August 18th this year marks the fifth anniversary of the opening of the new travel inspection area at Hengqin Port. The reporter learned from the Macau SAR Public Security Police Department that over the past five years, the Hengqin Port has cleared more than 75.45 million inbound and outbound passengers, greatly improving the port's clearance capacity and convenience. The number of personnel and vehicles traveling between the port has continued to grow, becoming a core hub for promoting the deep integration of Guangdong and Macau, and an important gateway supporting the interconnection and high-quality development of Macao and Qinhuangdao. On August 18, 2020, the Lotus Port in Macau and the Hengqin Port in mainland China, which were originally separated by a bridge and had two inspections in two places, were relocated to the new joint inspection building of Hengqin Port, becoming the second port in China and Guangdong Macau to adopt the "cooperative inspection, one-time release" customs clearance mode. Passengers only need to queue once to efficiently complete the border inspection procedures between the two places, making cross-border factor flow more convenient. According to statistics, from January to July 2025 alone, the daily average number of customs clearance passengers has reached 76097, an increase of 1.85 times compared to before the opening of the new joint inspection building in 2019; The daily average number of vehicles passing through customs is 8769, which has nearly doubled compared to 2019; The number of single license plate cars is 5775, a surge of 10.66 times compared to the daily average of 495 in 2019. Efficient and convenient customs clearance facilities and services have led to record breaking levels in customs clearance. ”According to Wu Suping, Deputy Director of the Macau SAR Public Security Police, the highest daily passenger flow reached 128423 on May 2 this year, and the highest daily traffic flow reached 10518 on July 19. Among the customs clearance personnel, Macau residents account for 27.2%, while tourists, non local university students, and non local employees account for 38.8%, 17.1%, and 16.3% respectively. This is not only a reflection of the efficient inspection and release capabilities of the port, but also a vivid portrayal of the port's promotion of the integration of Australia and Qinhuangdao, injecting vitality into the construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone, "said Wu Suping. Over the past five years, the Macao SAR Public Security Police has closely cooperated with the Zhuhai Exit Entry Border Inspection Station to innovate and implement multiple convenient customs clearance service projects. ”Wu Suping introduced that the country's first "joint one-stop" lane, the first on-board personnel inspection hall to adopt the "cooperative inspection, one-time release" inspection mode, the pedestrian bridge connecting Hengqin Port and the University of Macau, and the extension of the Hengqin Port Line of the Macau Light Rail have been successively put into use. Nowadays, the 30 lanes of Hengqin Port are always unobstructed. With the "joint one-stop" lane information system jointly built, shared and managed by the two places, non passenger vehicles can complete the inspection of five port units in both places in an average of 100 seconds and as fast as 50 seconds through the self-service channel, greatly improving efficiency and convenience. Looking ahead to the future, a series of new convenience measures such as the pilot of 'facial recognition' clearance, expansion of self-service channels, and expansion of beneficiaries will soon be implemented. ”Wu Suping revealed. This year marks the beginning of the second phase of the construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone. Centered around the new strategic positioning of "Macao+Hengqin", the Macao Special Administrative Region Public Security Police Bureau and the Zhuhai Exit and Entry Border Inspection Station aim to promote the concept of "one family", "one sentence" communication, and "integrated" cooperation. They closely adhere to the core goals of "expansion, speed up, and convenience", continue to empower the construction of customs clearance capacity with technology, promote the opening and innovation of entry and exit services to a deeper level and wider field, and make new demonstrations to enrich the great practical connotation of "one country, two systems".
