Recently, YANTIAN launched multiple new sea-rail services and held several sea-rail service promotion events to better serve our customers. 

On July 9, the trial run of YANTIAN-Meizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone sea-rail service was successfully completed

On July 9, a train carrying nearly 600 refrigerators successfully departed Meizhou International Dry Port for Yantian Port after smooth clearance procedures through Meizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone. This successful trial run has laid a solid foundation for the official operation of the YANTIAN-Meizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone sea-rail service.

Compared with road transport, the sea-rail service is much more cost-effective, stable, and faster. By moving YANTIAN's port functions forward, YANTIAN-Meizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone sea-rail service opens up a new logistics channel for local importers and exporters.

The YANTIAN-Jiangmen multimodal transport promotion event was successfully held on July 12

On July 12, YANTIAN held the YANTIAN-Jiangmen multimodal transport promotion event and customer communication meeting in Jiangmen, which was attended by nearly 100 representatives from Jiangmen Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Jiangmen Customs, China Railway Guangzhou Group, Jiangmen International Container Terminals Limited, as well as customers.

Ye Rongchao, Level-2 Researcher of Jiangmen Municipal Bureau of Commerce, delivered a speech. 

Jiangmen is the gateway of the Greater Bay Area to Western Guangdong and Southwestern China, the new growth pole on the west bank of the Pearl River, and the gateway to the coastal economic belt in China. It has a well-developed export-oriented economy and a strong manufacturing industry to support international trade growth.

YANTIAN, as the world's largest container terminal run by a single operator, has been striving to provide enterprises with green, safe, and efficient multimodal logistics solutions, and launched YANTIAN-Heshan and YANTIAN-Jiangmen sea-rail services to greatly help Jiangmen enterprises save costs and reduce carbon emissions. This promotion event attracts more local enterprises to send products "Made in Jiangmen" to the international supply chain through Yantian Port and boosts the development of Jiangmen's international trade economy.

The YANTIAN-Yongzhou multimodal transport promotion event was successfully held on July 20

On the morning of July 20, YANTIAN held the YANTIAN-Yongzhou multimodal transport promotion event and customer communication meeting in Yongzhou, working with Yongzhou Inland Port to offer enterprises a new channel to go global.

This event aims to drive the cooperation between Yantian Port and Yongzhou Inland Port on inland port and port alliance to ensure the smooth flow of industry chain and supply chain in Yongzhou and to facilitate the high-quality development of local international trade. More than 200 representatives from China Railway Guangzhou Group, Shenzhen Port Group, Shenzhen Customs Supervision Department, Shenzhen Dapeng Customs, shipping lines and freight forwarders attended the event. 

At the event, representatives of YANTIAN and Yongzhou Inland Port Group introduced business related to the sea-rail service and unveiled the plaque for "YANTIAN-Yongzhou Inland Port" together with the leaders present. After the meeting, the guests also visited Yongzhou Inland Port and Yongzhou North Cargo Depot.

To expand the cargo catchment areas of Yongzhou Inland Port, import and export, logistics, freight forwarding, and 3PL enterprises that ship goods from or to Yongzhou Inland Port are entitled to subsidies on railway freight rate, international railway transport, cold chain transport, as well as intra-city logistics fees, incentives for freight forwarding, and rewards for the allocation of empty containers. 

Since 2003, YANTIAN has been ranked No.1 among ports in Chinese mainland in terms of annual throughput for 20 consecutive years, and our international transshipment volume has topped the Chinese mainland for five consecutive years. It serves 1/3 of the import and export container traffic of Guangdong province and 1/4 of the container volume generated by the trade between China and United States. Now, it has nearly 100 weekly services to major ports around the world and an extensive service network, with an average of 4 services per day to Europe, and 6 services per day to the US. 

Up to now, we have 15 feeder services, 5 port alliances for feeder services, 12 inland ports, and 30 sea-rail services, with services covering the Greater Bay Area, Southwest China and Central China. From January to June this year, the sea-rail throughput of YANTIAN increased by 15% year-on-year.

In the future, YANTIAN will continue to work together with all parties involved to improve the layout of inland ports and promote the high-quality development of multimodal service network to allow more enterprises to leverage convenient and green logistics solutions, making our due contributions to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and building a world-class logistics hub in the Greater Bay Area.
