Rail-sea transportation capacity of Zhenhai Port increases

The two coal transport railway routes at Zhenhai Port have been transformed into special lines for containers and other items, realizing the seamless convergence of the new freight railway station and the port area through the opening of the last leg of the rail-sea transportation line of Zhenhai Port. The transformation will increase the rail-sea transportation capacity for 30,000 TEUs to 100,000 TEUs.

At present, only a handful of ports have achieved the linkage with railways, including Dalian Port and Ningbo Port. With the fast development of rail-sea transportation, the M1 and M2 special lines for coal transportation, in operation for 30 years, have witnessed the aging of loading and unloading equipments and the transformation of the special lines and stations becomes a top priority. The newly transformed line is 850 meters long with a full capacity of about 100 TEUs at once. Instead of the old image of coal loading lines, the new modern and specialized rail-sea container transportation routes new take the lead among all the domestic ports in terms of hardware facilities.
