Beijing, December 29 (Xinhua) — Last Friday, the 30th freight train this year departed from the Beijing International Land Port, located in the Fangshan District of Beijing, bound for Almaty, Kazakhstan, as part of the China-Europe/Central Asia international rail freight service, according to the Zhongguo Xinwenwang online portal.
The train, loaded with 110 standard containers (TEU) with more than 800 tons of goods worth over 23 million yuan (about 3.28 million US dollars), including auto parts and office chairs, is expected to arrive in Almaty in 10 days, crossing the state border at Alashankou checkpoint (Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China).
As a reminder, the first China-Central Asia freight train departed from Beijing on March 19 of this year. Since then, the frequency of train departures from the Beijing International Land Port has continued to increase: 14 trains were dispatched in less than three months in the fourth quarter. The same figure for the previous six months was 16 trains. This means the average monthly frequency of train departures has more than doubled.
According to data, more than 3,000 TEUs of goods with a total weight of over 15,000 tons and a value of nearly 500 million yuan have been shipped from Beijing International Land Port to date. -0-
