On July 22, YANTIAN officially launched the Jiangmen–YANTIAN scheduled rail-sea service. This express service establishes a fast, stable, and eco-friendly import-export corridor between Jiangmen and YANTIAN, offering customers a reliable logistics solution that reduces overall costs and supports the high-quality growth of international trade in the Greater Bay Area.

Jiangmen–YANTIAN Scheduled Rail-Sea Service: Meeting Core Logistics Needs

Empty containers dispatched overnight — no production delay:
Place order today, pick up container tomorrow morning. Once an order is placed, the empty container is delivered punctually to the Jiangmen Inland Port yard the next morning, enabling seamless pickup and immediate loading—keeping production running smoothly.

Loaded containers return by rail — assured customs clearance efficiency:
Fully loaded containers are transported back to YANTIAN via a scheduled service with fixed timings, sites, pricing, and train numbers, ensuring timely arrival at YANTIAN.

Leave behind the uncertainty and congestion of road transport: Rail service operates around the clock, rain or shine, 7/24/365, offering reliable delivery of loaded containers to the port. This provides customers with ample and predictable time for customs clearance and vessel loading, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted export process.

Why Choose the Jiangmen–YANTIAN Scheduled Rail-Sea Service

01. Port services at your doorstep — solving the last-mile challenge
With over three years of full operation, YANTIAN’s Jiangmen Inland Port brings port functionality closer to customers—offering seamless global connectivity right from their doorstep. In 2024, container volume on the Jiangmen–YANTIAN service surged 70% year-on-year, with cargo ranging from electronics and motorcycles to textiles and home appliances.

02. High-frequency, reliable service — transport you can count on
Covering a rail distance of 230 km, the Jiangmen–YANTIAN service supports bidirectional service with fixed train numbers and schedules. Running 5–7 times per week, it offers strong planning certainty and stable performance.

The Jiangmen Inland Port’s freight yard spans 117,000 square metres and features two 800-metre cargo lines, each capable of handling 50 wagons per operation. It includes a 30,000-square-metre RTGC zone and a 22,500-square-metre freight station.

03. Green, low-carbon, and efficient — a more cost-effective solution
Compared with all-road transport, rail offers a greener, more sustainable alternative. It effectively avoids hidden costs caused by fuel price fluctuations and road congestion, helping enterprises advance their low-carbon transformation.

Studies show that rail transport reduces carbon emissions per unit of freight turnover by up to 90% compared to road. A fully loaded sea-rail intermodal train to YANTIAN can replace around 100 container trucks, making a significant impact in reducing environmental pollution and safety risks, lowering energy consumption, easing road congestion, optimising the transport structure, and supporting China’s dual carbon goals.

04. Strong shipping network enabling seamless global connectivity
YANTIAN boasts Shenzhen’s only direct on-dock rail access, with its rail-sea volume achieving positive growth for six consecutive years.

As the hub of South China’s densest network of services to Europe and the U.S., YANTIAN operates over 100 weekly sailings worldwide—averaging 10 daily departures to Europe and North America. Leveraging its unique advantage as the last port-of-call in South China for most major services, along with more than 10 dedicated express services for cross-border e-commerce, YANTIAN delivers high-frequency, extensive, fast, and high-efficiency shipping services. This ensures stable supply chains and empowers exporters to accelerate their trade operations.

Looking ahead, YANTIAN will continue working with partners to develop innovative models of rail-sea connectivity through scheduled rail services such as the Jiangmen–YANTIAN, the Chongqing–Shenzhen–Hong Kong, and the Chengdu–Shenzhen–Hong Kong.

These efforts aim to ensure the efficient outbound flow of international trade cargo, support Shenzhen’s development as a logistics hub with global influence, enhance the international competitiveness of the Greater Bay Area, and contribute to the national dual carbon goals and the high-quality growth of international trade.
