Hunan’s First Steel-loaded Sea-rail Intermodal Freight Train Departed

【字体：大中小】

A train carrying containers full of steel materials manufactured by Hunan Iron & Steel Group departed from the Nansha Port of Guangzhou, south China’s Guangdong province on October 25, where the containers were transferred onto a ship before being transported to the Port of Laem Chabang, Thailand and the Pasir Gudang Terminal, Malaysia.

　　The train running on a special line for CRRC logistics started from the Zhuzhou North Railway Station a few days ago, and arrived at Guangzhou via the China-Africa rail-sea transport corridor. This is the first time that the steel produced by Hunan has been transported to Southeast Asia by rail.

　　Unlike the previous practice of loading steel materials onto train carriages as before, CR Guangzhou has for the first time used its own 20-foot containers to carry steel materials. The combined sea-rail transport service has opened up a new logistics channel for exporting Hunan-produced steel.
