The batch of goods departed from Haiphong Port in Vietnam. After transiting through Qinzhou Port of Beibu Gulf, it was bound for Chengdu by the new Western Land-sea Trade Corridor freight train.
The batch of goods was then loaded onto the “Chengdu-Europe” Express Train and transported to Europe.
The launch marks the successful operation of an international freight train by COSCO SHIPPING Logistics on the New Western Land-sea Trade Corridor and the creation of a new transit logistics service customised for customers.
The new logistics channel extends the transport business through the Western Land-sea Trade Corridor from the current simple domestic import and export business to the international transit business to improve logistics efficiency and reduces the cost for customers.
