At 10 a.m. on January 15, the first weekly block train 81942 CMA CGM departed from Yiwu West Railway Station to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port with 90 TEUs of export goods. With export orders increasing significantly, the export business has developed rapidly. The train had operated on a monthly basis but will now be operating on a weekly basis, opening a new chapter in Yiwu-Ningbo-Zhoushan rail transportation.

On September 25, 2020, the Yiwu CMA CGM train was successfully launched. This special train was named after CMA CGM, the world’s third largest container liner company. Carried to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port by the train, the export goods were then transported by a huge international ship.

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port has the largest throughput worldwide. As an important hub of the Belt and Road, and a bridgehead for the province’s opening to the world, Yiwu is the world’s largest distribution center of small commodities. The special train has joined forces with giant companies in the international shipping industry, and has opened special trains for the world’s top five shipping companies successively. Among them, the CMA CGM became the first company in the shipping industry in Yiwu Railway Port to operate the special train on a weekly basis. (Translated by Zhang Jiajia, edited by Kendra Fiddler)

“达飞号”专列升级为每周一班，义甬舟大通道海铁联运启新篇

1月15日10时，装载90标箱出口货物的81942次“达飞号”海铁国际多式联运专列从义乌西站启程，驶往宁波舟山港。随着近期出口订单放量，海运出口需求快速增长，该专列当天由“每月一班”升级为“每周一班”，开启了义甬舟开放大通道海铁联运新篇章。

2020年9月25日，义乌“达飞”号海铁联运专列成功首发。这趟专列以全球第三大集装箱班轮公司达飞轮船公司冠名，装载出口货物经铁路运抵宁波舟山港，搭乘国际巨船出海。

宁波舟山港是全球年货物吞吐量最大的港口，是“一带一路”的重要枢纽、我省对外开放的桥头堡，义乌则是全球最大的小商品集散中心。“义乌—宁波舟山港”海铁联运班列与国际轮船巨头强强联手，先后开通了全球前五强轮船公司专列。其中，达飞轮船成为首个入驻义乌铁路口岸开行每周一班海铁专列的船公司。(陆磊/摄)
