CHENGDU, China, Nov. 26, 2021 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--
On November 23, the Sea-Railway Intermodal Train from Chengdu (Shuangliu)
Air-rail International Intermodal Port, Sichuan Province, China to Southeast
Asia via Qinzhou Port in Guangxi started.
A total of 1,540-foot containers were transported by the train. The customer is
a local pharmaceutical enterprise. In the past, the enterprise had to send the
goods to the river port, ship the goods to the Shanghai port, and then load the
goods to the sea ships. In the case of the dry season of the river, it will
take up to more than half a month to reach Shanghai. While by the Sea-Railway
Intermodal Train, the economic cost is one third lower than the former route,
taking only one-quarter of the time it used to take.
"The opening of this train indicates that the intermodal port has realized the
organic integration of international air routes, international train networks
and international maritime routes, and realized the improvement of the
multimodal transport system of 'air, railway, highway and sea transportation',
" said Zheng Shuangli, Deputy General Manager of Chengdu Airport Modern Service
Industry Development Co., Ltd. The intermodal port will provide diversified
logistics solutions for export-oriented enterprises.
Shuangliu is located in the hinterland of China and is the location of Chengdu
Shuangliu International Airport, China's fourth largest aviation hub. In the
past, high-end biomedicine, electronic information and other high-value-added
products were sent to the world through Shuangliu aviation channels. Today, the
sea-railway intermodal trains can transport goods with relatively low added
value and low timeliness requirements to Qinzhou port, Guangxi, and then to the
Philippines by sea, with a whole transport time of 5-7 days. Although it takes
a little longer than the former road transportation mode for the whole journey,
the cost is reduced by more than two thirds.
On the other hand, from the perspective of "carbon emission", transporting
goods by rail rather than by existing long-distance highway through airport
international intermodal port can effectively give full play to the significant
advantages of railway, such as environmental protection, energy conservation
and efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the source.
Air-rail intermodal transport is not a new concept. Highlighting the southbound
channel is the reason why Shuangliu "Air-rail International Intermodal Port" is
innovative.
"We have closely linked the aviation resources with the new western land-sea
corridor," Zheng Shuangli said, among the domestic cities participating in the
construction of the new western land-sea corridor, Chengdu Shuangliu pioneered
the seamless connection and intermodal transport of air and rail. In this
field, Shuangliu has entered the top echelon of the country.
In recent years, Shuangliu has given full play to its advantages of double
railway hubs of International Airport and Comprehensive Bonded Zone, constantly
explored and developed an air-rail mutual aid and comprehensive
three-dimensional opening-up system, and attracted a large number of leading
enterprises in the international logistics supply chain such as 4PX Express, SF
Express and so on to settle in Shuangliu.
The opening of the sea-railway intermodal train will also bring new logistics
solutions for the transportation of raw materials and finished products between
other enterprises in the Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Southeast Asia, and form
a stable international channel to guarantee the supply chain between the
processing enterprises in the Comprehensive Bonded Zone and the production and
manufacturing factories in Southeast Asia.
On January 1 next year, RCEP will come into force. Focusing on the supply chain
circulation between local enterprises in Chengdu and Southeast Asian
enterprises, Chengdu (Shuangliu) Air-rail International Intermodal Port will
deeply study the global layout of supply chains of enterprises, provide
multimodal transport solutions for enterprises based on supply chains, and
strive to become an important service node on the global supply chains and an
international logistics distribution hub with regional influence.
