The travel time from China’s Nanning station to Vietnam’s Yen Vien station is 14 hours, meeting the needs for dispatch, customs clearance and cargo delivery on the same day.
At the beginning of this year, the Nanning railway bureau expanded the gathering-transportation routes, utilised the role of the Nanning International Railway Port as a cargo transportation hub and formulated suitable logistics plans for each enterprise to attract cargo to gather at the port for exports to Vietnam.
It has also gradually shifted from single transport services to comprehensive cross-border transport services and extended the free container storage time to 48 hours to reduce transportation costs for businesses, state-controlled Chinese media reported.
Over 20 cities within and outside the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have become cargo gathering points for trains exporting goods to members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The Nanning International Railway Port has initially become a gathering-distribution-transport centre for Chinese goods exported to Vietnam by train.
