The shipment transited through Nanning International Railway Port before heading to Viet Nam’s Yen Vien station. The corridor is a new cross-border logistics addition following the launch of the Liuzhou-Nanning-Viet Nam rail service.

International freight trains offer greater flexibility and adaptability, enabling interconnection across multiple regions and routes, a representative of the Zhanjiang railway logistics centre under China Railway Nanning said, adding that the service is expected to meet diverse corporate transport demand while further expanding the China-Viet Nam transport market.

To ensure stable and smooth operations, Chinese railway authorities have stepped up coordination among rail operators, customs agencies and businesses. Container-loading plans have been drawn up and transshipment procedures optimised, allowing Chinese domestic exporters to move goods to border checkpoints more efficiently.

The new route is set to create a more stable and efficient logistics corridor for trade between Guangxi and Viet Nam, while reinforcing regional supply chain connectivity.

The China Railway Nanning Group said it will keep improving the quality of international freight train services linking Viet Nam and China, building out multimodal transport models and deepening regional trade connectivity./.
