“Taking the Chongqing to Singapore route as an example. It previously took about 23 days to take the Yangtze River route by sea. Now, through the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, we can save 16 days, offering customers an additional option,” explained Liu Wei, Director of the Logistics and Operations Organization Center of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
It’s not just Chongqing; across the vast expanse of China, as the provinces along the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor continue to invest in transportation and industrial facilities, the maritime-rail intermodal train routes will also expand. What began with only one route from Beibu Gulf Port to Chongqing, has grown into seven routes, including regular services from Beibu Gulf Port to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan, and other areas. The reach of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor has expanded to cover 120 stations in 61 cities of 18 provinces with cargo flows extending to over 300 ports in more than 100 countries and regions worldwide.
