NANNING, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — A freight train carrying 80 containers of Australian kraft paper, Singaporean confectionery fat and other goods departed from Qinzhou East Station in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Wednesday bound for the southwest city of Chongqing.
This event was a landmark: the total volume of rail freight transported along the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor in western China has exceeded 1.2 million standard containers (twenty-foot equivalent units, TEU) since the beginning of this year, an increase of more than 63 percent year-on-year.
As a key logistics link between the inland regions of western China and global markets, this corridor enables, for example, the delivery of new energy vehicles directly from Chongqing and the GCA to markets in the Middle East via multimodal rail and sea transport. The corridor facilitates the export of Chinese agricultural products, enabling products from ASNAN countries, such as Thai durians and Cambodian rice, to reach Chongqing in just 88 hours after being loaded onto a cold-chain vehicle.
According to Wei Wenkang, head of the Qinzhou Port East Station, cargo throughput at the station continues to grow this year. "To date, the total volume of cargo shipped from here has reached 7.16 million tons, an 18.7 percent increase year-on-year, with daily loading and unloading records broken 12 times," he said.
Official data shows that a total of 4.44 million TEUs have been transported along the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor since 2021, strengthening its position as a key logistics artery linking China's western region with ASEAN countries, promoting coordinated regional development while deepening opening-up to global markets. -0-
