As of August 2, 2024, more than 500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers for rail-sea intermodal transportation have been delivered via the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, marking the highest level for the same period in all years, according to China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd.
The corridor is nestled in the hinterlands of the western regions in China, seamlessly connecting the Silk Road Economic Belt from the north, the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road from the south, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Since launching the overall plan five years ago, the trade corridor has transported over 3.1 million TEUs for rail-sea intermodal transportation, highlighting its significant role in boosting global trade and economic growth.
