Reporters learned from China Railway Shanghai Group Co., Ltd. that as of April 25, the Yangtze River Delta railway has completed 1.006 million TEUs of sea-rail intermodal transport this year, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%, reaching the milestone of one million TEUs 14 days earlier than last year.
Since the beginning of this year, the Yangtze River Delta has continuously strengthened the transport capacity of sea-rail intermodal corridors between coastal ports and inland areas. Currently, the average daily arrival and departure volume of sea-rail intermodal transport at major ports such as Shanghai Port and Ningbo Zhoushan Port is nearly 8,800 TEUs; the number of regular block trains has increased to 119, ensuring the export transportation of commodities such as photovoltaic modules, white goods, and hardware fittings.
In addition, the railway department has successively activated four railway logistics stations including Taizhou West and Xinchang North, added seven new sea-rail intermodal train routes, and optimized and adjusted 24 existing routes. Since the second quarter, with the improvement of transport capacity and optimization of transport organization efficiency, the sea-rail intermodal business at major ports has continued to operate at a high level, effectively supporting foreign trade exports and ensuring the stability and smoothness of the industrial and supply chains.
