On January 8, 2024, a freight train carrying 78 standard containers departed from Shijiazhuang International Dry Port and sailed to Tianjin Port. It was then transported abroad via a container ship. This was the first sea-rail intermodal photovoltaic train sent by Shijiazhuang International Dry Port.
Due to their large size and high added value, photovoltaic modules have higher requirements for logistics safety and stability. Compared with road freight, railway trains are less affected by weather, have larger transportation capacity, and the shipping process is intensive, efficient, and timely and stable. Such characteristics can effectively improve the logistics efficiency of photovoltaic modules, reduce shipping costs, and achieve high-quality product delivery.
Not only photovoltaic modules, but also in recent years, the types of goods transported through sea-rail combined transport in China have become more and more abundant. With the accelerated development of import and export trade, the "sea-rail combined transport" transportation mode has gradually expanded its scale of development under the positive influence of the environment and policies, and has become one of the important symbols of modern transportation.
Sea-rail combined transport is "multimodal transport" and is a comprehensive logistics transportation mode that combines two different modes of transportation: sea freight and railway freight, and achieves "one declaration, one inspection, one release" operation during the entire transportation process, for more efficient and economical cargo freight.
This model usually transports goods from the place of production or supply to the destination port by sea, and then transports the goods from the port to the destination by rail, or vice versa.
Sea-rail combined transport is one of the main modes of transportation for international logistics. Compared with the traditional logistics model, sea-rail combined transport has the advantages of large transportation capacity, short time, low cost, high safety, and environmental protection. It can provide customers with door-to-door and point-to-point process "one container to the end" services, truly realizing mutual cooperation. Cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results.
