In 2026, logistics channels will continue to be smooth, and land sea linkage will empower the development of industries and people's livelihoods. COSCO SHIPFLD has successively opened up new transportation routes, helping domestic new energy vehicles set sail and opening up the Northeast grain export chain, activating logistics momentum through diversified intermodal transportation services.

Innovative intermodal transportation helps vehicles go global

On June 9, 2026, Shanghai Jiyun, a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING, launched a new export model for new energy vehicles. One hundred and fifty new energy SUVs were shipped to Italy through sea rail intermodal transportation.

This is also the first new energy vehicle container sea rail intermodal transportation business in the jurisdiction of Shanghai Jiyun, which means that the cooperation between enterprises and car companies in the field of new energy vehicle exports has achieved a new breakthrough. In response to the strict requirements for transportation efficiency and stability in the export of new energy vehicles, Shanghai Jiyun actively coordinated with customer needs and planned a new transportation route from Nanjing Railway to Yangshan Port.

The new route will shorten the transit time of the original barge transportation from five days to three days, and increase transportation efficiency by more than 40%. Railway transportation can also avoid traffic interference caused by weather and ensure timely shipment of vehicles. This overseas channel not only accelerates the entry of domestic cars into the European market, but also creates a replicable intermodal model for the large-scale export of new energy vehicles.

Connect the links to ensure the export of grain

On June 9, 2026, COSCO SHIPFLD's Dalian consolidation officially opened a new railway intermodal transportation channel from Yingcheng to Yingkou in Jilin Province, and the inland container return point in Yingcheng was put into use simultaneously, building an efficient grain transportation link.

Relying on the hub advantage of Yingkou Port, we accurately meet the transportation needs of local cargo owners, expand the source of grain transportation customers, and establish a complete transportation chain from Yingcheng production area to Yingcheng, including cargo collection, railway transportation, and port loading southward. This greatly improves the efficiency of container circulation and ensures the stable export of large quantities of corn. The sea rail intermodal transportation has a large capacity, low loss, and strong stability, which is very suitable for the characteristics of large-scale grain transportation. The one-stop logistics service effectively reduces the transportation expenses of enterprises and improves the overall service level. The new channel further improves the layout of multimodal transportation in Northeast China, compresses the transportation time of grain, reduces comprehensive logistics costs, and enables high-quality grain from Northeast China to be quickly transported to various markets, safeguarding the supply of livelihood materials.

Deeply cultivate intermodal transportation and build a solid foundation for logistics

COSCO SHIPHLD has been focusing on the field of sea rail intermodal transportation for a long time. Its two subsidiaries have recently landed two major logistics projects, serving the export of new energy industries and the transportation of daily necessities, continuously weaving a dense land sea intermodal transportation network.

The company stated that it will adhere to the direction of ensuring supply and stable chain, continuously optimize transportation routes, innovate service forms, and strengthen multi-party cooperation. With a mature sea rail intermodal network, we aim to bridge the logistics barriers between inland and port areas, as well as between domestic and overseas markets, while balancing industrial development and ensuring people's livelihoods. We are committed to maintaining the smooth operation of the industrial and supply chains.Editor/Gong Ziwei
