BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — A 300-ton, 52-meter-long column separator will soon cross the border at the Baktu port in Tacheng County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, bound for Kazakhstan. The unit is the first oversized piece of equipment to pass through the newly reconstructed oversized cargo corridor at the port.

The development marks a new breakthrough in cross-border logistics for oversized cargo through Baktu, county officials said Wednesday.

The above-mentioned unit was manufactured in Hubei Province (Central China) and intended for a Kazakh energy company. The Baktu checkpoint, with its upgraded transport corridor, is capable of handling the transportation requirements for such super-heavy and oversized equipment.

As part of the reconstruction efforts at the Baktu checkpoint's oversized cargo corridor, vehicle lanes were expanded, special areas for heavy cargo inspection and storage were built, and specialized equipment, including 100-ton gantry cranes and specialized oversized cargo scanners, were installed, significantly increasing throughput.

Following the commissioning of the reconstructed corridor, equipment weighing 300 tons or more can now be transported through the Baktu checkpoint, noted Chen Weilong, an official with the Tacheng County Key Pilot Zone for Opening-Up and Development. This is expected to increase interest among companies in exporting large-scale equipment to Central Asia and other regions through the Baktu checkpoint, he concluded. -0-
