TIANJIN, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) — A train carrying transit goods from Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and other countries departed from Tianjin, north China, and will leave China through Ereenhot Port in Inner Mongolia and finally arrive in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
According to statistics from Tianjin Customs, 500 China-Europe/China-Central Asia freight trains have departed from Tianjin Port since the beginning of this year as of the end of September.
As the land-sea nexus of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Port of Tianjin is the eastern entry point of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and a key hub of the New Eurasian Transcontinental Bridge Economic Corridor. It is part of the international land-sea intermodal transport channel connecting China with Japan, the Republic of Korea, Central Asia, Mongolia, Russia, and Europe. Currently, China-Europe/Central Asia trains passing through the Port of Tianjin serve all three main corridors—eastern, central, and western—that operate as part of the international China-Europe freight routes.
"Transit goods from Japan and the Republic of Korea arrive at Tianjin Port by sea and are then sent to Mongolia by rail. The distance is short and the cost is low," said Wang Zhiguo, director of the local freight forwarding company, Jiehai Jiyun, adding that Tianjin Customs has now implemented a number of convenient measures for multimodal sea-rail transport, making customs clearance very smooth.
