In the early morning at Yiwu (Suxi) International Hub Port, the sound of sirens shattered the tranquility. A container train loaded with daily necessities and hardware accessories slowly started, not heading towards scattered ports as usual, but towards Ningbo Zhoushan Port with a clear goal. This is not just an ordinary departure, but also a vivid reflection of foreign trade enterprises in central Zhejiang seeking certainty in the international logistics changes.

In recent years, with the continuous heating up of trade between Yiwu and central Zhejiang and the Middle East, countless "Made in China" products have been eager to flood the shelves of shopping malls in Dubai and other places. However, due to the dual pressure of international situation and route adjustments, this prosperous trade artery was once "blocked". The backlog of goods, delayed shipping schedules, and soaring costs have become persistent anxieties for many foreign trade bosses. How to break the deadlock? The Ningbo Zhoushan Port sea rail intermodal transport team, in collaboration with shipping companies and port units, has launched a race against time to alleviate congestion.

Accurately unblock transportation bottlenecks

In response to the pain points of previous logistics disruptions, various forces have been twisted into a rope. The team no longer passively waits, but takes the initiative to coordinate the entire chain of key links such as empty container transportation, in transit tracking, port loading and unloading, and customs clearance and release. This "nanny style" linkage service ensures that every container can seamlessly flow between various links like a relay baton, successfully "running" through the originally blocked logistics channels, preventing goods from "getting lost" and ensuring timely delivery.

Weaving the Zhejiang Central Sea Railway Network

The UAE shipping special train launched this time is just the latest step in the dense logistics network of Ningbo Zhoushan Port in central Zhejiang. Since 2026, the pace of sea rail intermodal transportation has significantly accelerated. Not long ago, the Star Shipping e-commerce special train and the Yiwu Suxi to Wenzhou Port train were successively put into operation, forming a transportation pattern of multi-point blooming. This diversified logistics path selection greatly enhances the risk resistance ability of regional foreign trade, allowing enterprises to easily find an outlet to the sea no matter what market fluctuations they face.keywords:port logistics

Hub efficiency acceleration release

With the opening of new lines, the "magnetic attraction effect" of Yiwu (Suxi) International Hub Port is becoming increasingly prominent. Since its opening, the container arrival and departure volume here has exceeded 228000 TEUs, and the peak daily shipment has climbed to an astonishing 7 trains. Behind this series of numbers is the efficient convergence of logistics, capital flow, and information flow. Nowadays, Suxi is no longer just a source of goods, but also an important strategic pivot connecting the inland and the ocean. Zhengyuanyuan continues to inject strong impetus into Zhejiang's outward oriented economy.Editor/Yang Meiling
