CCTV News: On the afternoon of May 14, a cross-border train full of Korean goods departed from Yantai Port, Shandong and headed to Kyrgyzstan. This is the first "one-order" cross-border railway-sea intermodal train in the country, and the entire transportation time can be compressed by more than half.
This batch of goods departed from Incheon Port, South Korea, and arrived at Yantai Port, Shandong after 14 hours of shipping. Then they were unloaded, cleared, loaded, and transported to Kashgar Port, Xinjiang by railway, and sent to Kyrgyzstan. Throughout the whole process, the carrier only needs a freight document to enable the seamless connection of cross-border goods to "international shipping and domestic railways".
Previously, after Japan and South Korea cross-border "scattered sources of cargo" arrived in Shandong by sea, the carrier company needed to separately connect with various types of domestic logistics companies to complete the continuous transportation. Due to the small volume of the goods, it often needed to "publish orders" with other goods, which had long wait time, cumbersome procedures, and inconvenient cargo tracking.
Director of the Production Dispatch Command Center of Yantai Vehicle Service Section, Jinan Bureau of China Railway: We work together with the railway and the port to coordinate the cross-border supply and local supply, to ensure that the goods are loaded within 1 hour of arrival at the port and depart within 3 hours.
