Special Sino-European Trains Operated with High Quality in Our City

From: Lianyungang Updated: 2019-08-25 06:22

Recently,　nearly　50　domestic　experts　and　60　foreign　experts　from　Belarus,　Germany,　Mongolia,　Poland,　Kazakhstan,　Russia,　Austria　and　Latvia　visited　Lianyungang　Container　Terminal,　Port　Production　and　Dispatch　Command　Center　on　the　spot.　They　inspected　the　operation　of　land-sea　intermodal　transport,　China-Europe　trains　and　so　on.　They　expressed　their　appreciation　for　the　high-quality　construction　of　the　Sino-European　trains.
On　December　1,　1992,　a　long　whistle　pierced　the　sky　and　the　international　container　train　from　Lianyungang　to　Almaty,　Moscow,　St.　Petersburg　and　other　places　started　operation,　formally　opening　up　the　prelude　of　the　new　Eurasian　Continental　Bridge　international　intermodal　transport.　The　"one　belt　and　one　road"　initiative　has　injected　new　connotation　and　impetus　to　the　operation　of　Sino-European　trains.
In　recent　years,　our　city　has　opened　up　two　high-quality　routes　to　Almaty　and　Istanbul,　and　other　Central　Asian　and　European　train　routes,　taking　the　lead　in　transit　and　export　trains　and　achieving　full　coverage　of　major　stations,　becoming　the　only　shipping　port　designated　by　COSCO　to　operate　in　the　direction　of　Central　Asia　and　Turkey.　With　the　Joint　effort　of　China　Railway　Collection　and　Sino-foreign　Transport,　the　"Japan-China-Europe"　corridor　from　Japan　to　Europe　was　also　opened　up.　From　2013　to　2018,　a　total　of　439.1　million　standard　boxes　were　completed.　In　2018,　the　number　of　Sino-European　trains　of　Lianyungang　reached　a　breakthrough　of　800　for　the　first　time,　and　Lianyungang　Port　became　the　only　port　with　special　trains　of　wheat,　cotton　yarn　and　ferroalloy　along　the　coast　of　China.　The　service　quality　was　highly　praised　by　customers.
Since　the　beginning　of　this　year,　the　port　has　been　guided　by　the　spirit　of　the　"one　belt　and　one　road"　initiative　benchmark　and　demonstration　project　and　persisted　in　building　special　Sino-European　trains　with　high　quality.　The　number　of　trains　has　increased　from　41　to　45.　The　full　load　rate　and　heavy　container　rate　have　reached　100%,　accelerating　the　shift　from　scale　expansion　to　efficiency　and　quality.　At　the　same　time,　we　continue　to　expand　the　scale　of　eastward　return　flights.　At　present,　the　ratio　of　East-West　two-way　transport　is　close　to　1:1,　and　the　convective　transport　tends　to　be　balanced.
With　the　strengthening　of　cooperation　with　major　node　cities　such　as　Almaty　and　Aktao,　as　well　as　ports,　railways　and　parks,　Lianyungang-Kazakhstan-Turkey　Railway-Air　Intermodal　Transport　System　has　been　put　into　operation,　and　the　multi-modal　terminal　management　system　of　Waterless　Port　of　Horgos-Dongdaemun　has　been　put　into　use.　The　cooperation　of　port,　shipping　and　trade　has　continued　to　deepen.　The　function　and　level　of　intermodal　transport　are　expected　to　be　further　improved.
