The railway port of Erenhot, the largest land port on the China-Mongolia border, handled the 1,000th China-Europe freight train of this year on Saturday afternoon, two days sooner than last year, according to local customs.
Located in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Erenhot Port is the first Chinese port on the China-Mongolia border that offers round-the-clock passage for freight transporters.
The Erenhot Railway Port is at the heart of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, with 72 routes being operated, covering more than 60 cities across 24 provinces in China, and reaching over 70 hub ports in more than 10 European countries including Germany, Poland and Russia.
Since the first China-Europe freight train passed through the port in 2013, it has handled a total of 18,000 such trains. Through scientific scheduling, precise loading, and efficient collaboration, the port has ensured smooth and seamless flows of inbound and outbound operation this year.
In the first quarter, the average transit time at the Erenhot Railway Port was reduced by 19.7 hours year on year, and cargo operation time by 10.2 hours.
A total of 995,600 tons of goods and 91,700 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) were transported via China-Europe freight trains passing through the port in the first three months of the year.
