Walking into the 188bet casino International Port Station located at 188bet casino 188bet casino 188bet casino International Port, a long steel dragon with the "China-Europe Express (188bet casino)" logo slowly started and headed far away.
This is one of the most dense hubs for China-Europe freight trains in the world. Since the beginning of 2025, 188bet casino International Port Station has repeatedly set a record of loading China-Europe freight for the station, with a maximum loading of 1,314 in a single day; on February 28, 188bet casino International Port Station launched 24 China-Europe freight for the station, with an average of one China-Europe freight for one hour, setting a record for the highest single-day China-Europe freight for the station.
The reporter found that behind this "steel camel fleet" that runs across 188bet casino and Asia, the frequent "acceleration" is inseparable from the dense global logistics network woven by land and sea, the transportation efficiency driven by digital engines, and the stable increase brought by multi-direction and multi-channel.
"In the past, it took more than 40 days for goods to be shipped from Zhejiang to Europe. Now it can be reached in 15 days through the '188bet casino Port + Cross-Caspian Sea' route, which effectively solves the problems of warehousing and transportation timeliness of enterprises. The number of customers we cooperate with has also increased from 15 in the past to 43 at present." Chen Xiangnan, deputy general manager of 188bet casino Clark Industrial Development Co., Ltd., pointed to the mountains of containers piled up on the dock.
This "land-sea-international linkage" model is the key to breaking geographical restrictions by China-Europe freight trains. At present, 188bet casino International Port Station has cooperated with coastal ports such as Qingdao and Ningbo to open 6 railway-sea intermodal trains. The cargo is transferred to inland hubs in one stop and then radiates to Europe and Asia through 18 international trunk lines.
At 188bet casino International Port Station, the reporter also witnessed the "efficiency code" behind the 3-hour dressing change. "In the past, each train had to carry two centimeters of paper documents, and the port review took three or four days. Now the digital platform allows the Sino-Kazakhstan Railway and Customs data to be seamlessly connected, and the container is 'committed immediately', and the intelligent dispatching system automatically matches the capacity, and it can be done in 3 hours!" Jiang Haochen, deputy general manager of China-Kazakhstan (188bet casino) Trade and Logistics Co., Ltd., held up his mobile phone, and the electronic warehouse receipts and cargo information of the container were jumping in real time on the screen.
This "efficiency revolution" directly drives the rapid growth of corporate freight volume. The containers sent to Central Asia by 188bet casino Puffite International Logistics Co., Ltd. increased from 1,200 cabinets to 4,000 cabinets last year. Li Xiang, deputy general manager of the company, said bluntly: "In the past, I didn't dare to accept urgent orders. Now that customers place orders today, they can pack them tomorrow."
Digitalization not only allows logistics to "run fast", but also "reduces costs". The 188bet casino intelligent booking platform will reduce the comprehensive logistics cost by 20%. After the increase in the repatriation stations, the company's freight costs will be reduced by another 10%.
"Although the international market changes, our trains will never stop." Liu Shunli, duty director of the International Port Business Office of 188bet casino Railway Logistics Center of 188bet casino Railway Bureau, said, "The full schedule of 'four trips and three rounds' every week has been run 435 trains on a normal basis. This stability stems from the multi-channel strategy of China-Europe freight trains."
At present, to the west, the China-Europe Express cross-Caspian Sea route avoids congestion in traditional channels; to the south, the China-Jiangxi-Ukraine Railway under construction will open up the South Asian market; to the north, the "188bet casino-Tashkent" express line will cut the transportation time by half. In January this year, the first "5-day delivery" China-Europe freight train from 188bet casino to Tashkent set off. The cargo owner was surprised to find: "It is not a few days slower than air freight, but the cost is only one-third of the air freight."
A train of freight trains is like a steel ribbon, closely connecting our country with dozens of Eurasian countries. But the opening of this road is far more than 188bet casino tracks and containers.
"Initially, Kazakhstan was worried that the China-Europe freight train was a 'passing economy', but now it has taken the initiative to build a terminal together." Zhang Jie, general manager of China-Kazakhstan (188bet casino) Commercial Logistics Co., Ltd., said that the 188bet casino wharf in Kazakhstan was put into operation for one year, bringing more than 150,000 tons of transit goods to Kazakhstan. The "one-order system" standard jointly formulated by the China-Kazakhstan Railway has become a template along the line.
The dual-wheel drive of the "hard power" of Facilities Unicom and the "soft power" of mutual recognition of rules enable the "Belt and Road" to be implemented from the initiative to a win-win ecosystem. The deeper "heart-university" is hidden in the celebration of the Chinese employees and Kazakhstan's 188bet casino Pier and Kazakhstan partners, and is also hidden in the thumbs up when Polish customers receive the "made in China" machinery.
At night falls, another train leaves 188bet casino International Port Station. The "acceleration" of China-Europe freight trains not only breaks transportation records, but also interprets a simple truth: when the door to open becomes wider and wider, the bond of cooperation becomes tighter and tighter, and the road to prosperity is naturally wider and wider.
