On September 8, a train operated by PIL (Pacific International Lines) set off from Yiwu Railway Port to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, carrying 100 TEUs. This marks PIL as the fourth company to offer weekly train services from this railway port.

In the past seven months, trade between Yiwu and Africa amounted to 59.20 billion RMB, showing a growth of 31.6%. Yiwu’s strong exports to Africa have led to a surge in logistics needs. In response to this demand, the International Land Port Group formed a team to find the most suitable shipping companies for African routes. They chose to work with PIL due to its reliable container service and efficient routes to Africa, aiming to provide better logistics for African trade.

So far this year, the Yiwu-Ningbo-Zhoushan Port sea-rail service has transported 58,034 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%. On the busiest days, they’ve run up to 5 trains at once. (By Wu Fengyu)

9月8日，装载着100标箱货物的义乌－宁波舟山港太平船务（PIL）海铁联运周专列从义乌铁路口岸启程，驶往宁波舟山港，标志着PIL船公司成为铁路口岸第4家开行周班列的船公司。

前7月，义乌对非洲进出口592.0亿元，增长31.6%。义乌对非洲出口强劲，物流需求旺盛，了解到此情况，国际陆港集团铁路口岸公司立即成立专班，摸排对非洲航线的船公司，最终与太平船务（PIL）公司达成合作，通过其健全的集装箱班轮服务网络及高效的非洲班轮航线，谋划对非洲贸易更优的物流方案。

今年截至目前，“义乌－宁波舟山港”海铁联运班列已发运58034标准箱，同比增长6.6%，单日开行最高可达5列。（全媒体记者 吴峰宇）
