From January to November this year, Lianyungang operated a total of 847 China-Europe freight train trips, marking a 12.6% year-on-year increase. The trains transported a record 69,454 TEUs, the highest volume in Jiangsu Province.

This year, the China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) Logistics Cooperation Base introduced new import commodities, including Kazakh barley and wheat flour. Meanwhile, eastbound transit shipments through Lianyungang Port, primarily consisting of ferroalloys, potassium chloride, and chrysotile asbestos, showed steady growth.

"The base has achieved intelligent dispatching and is exploring customized routes to better serve the China-Europe freight train service," said Ge Hengxue, General Manager of Lianyungang China-Kazakhstan International Logistics Co., Ltd.

The container hub project at Aktau Port, a joint venture between China and Kazakhstan, is rapidly developing. Aktau Port needs to enhance its operational capacity as the cargo throughput increased from 20,000 TEUs last year to over 50,000 TEUs this year. with an annual throughput of 200,000 TEUs, the container hub will enable goods transported via China-Europe freight trains to smoothly cross the Caspian Sea and reach Western Asia and European nations.

Furthermore, Lianyungang Port has achieved regular operations of its 400,000-tonne ore terminal and 150,000-tonne container berth this year. With the launch of a new ro-ro route with Brazil, the port now operates a total of 120 container and ro-ro shipping routes, connecting to more than 160 countries and regions.
