Wang Fei, manager of the international intermodal transport department of Dalian Jiyi Logistics, who has been in the industry for many years, is responsible for the logistics work related to the Dalian China-Europe express train, and the feeling of the subtle changes in the Northeast China-Europe train is the most intuitive.

Run out of "acceleration" with the help of the special needs of the epidemic
Talking about the performance of the Liaoning China-Europe express train at that time, Hu Donglian, deputy general manager of the Shenyang branch of China Railway Container, said two "unexpected": I did not expect that the epidemic came suddenly, and there was a large backlog of goods; I did not expect that Liaoning resumed work and production so quickly, and the China-Europe train resumed operation so timely.
"Looking back, our 'unexpected' is reasonable, and the later performance exceeded expectations." Hu Dong analyzed that due to the need for epidemic prevention, many countries broke off foreign contacts during the epidemic last year, and the international supply chain and transportation chain were seriously affected. The China-Europe express train implements segmented transportation and does not involve personnel quarantine, which has special advantages in the situation of epidemic prevention and control. Canada-Europe express trains maintain stable operation, many of the goods that originally needed to be transported by sea and air have been diverted to rail transport due to the obstruction of the channel, and the demand for China-Europe express trains has increased, which has become inevitable.
"In addition to the inevitability of this commonality, the popularity of liaoning's China-Europe express train is also related to its own unique advantages." Li Xun, manager of the international intermodal transport department of Shenyang Branch of China Railway Container Company, said, "Liaoning has a special location, with an efficient port, a dense land transportation network, and three train lines, many exports, convenient land transportation, and sea-rail intermodal transportation to reduce logistics costs, which are very attractive to enterprises in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia and China's southeast coastal cities." ”
Since 2020, the record of major cargoes shipped by trains confirms Li Xun's view. According to statistics, in addition to the machinery and equipment and chemical products produced in Liaoning Province, the main goods transported by the Liaoning China-Europe Express also include electronic accessories produced in Japan and South Korea, toiletries, shoes and hats, lamps and other daily necessities produced by southern coastal cities. "The spread of the epidemic has also made the demand for daily necessities in Europe strong, and the special market competitiveness of liaoning China-Europe express trains can also be seen from this point." Li Xun said.

Set up a "China-Europe Express" window to receive and handle China-Europe express trains
"Based on this promotion, in recent years, the China-Europe express train has also become a new driving force for Liaoning Province to open up to the outside world." Qiao Jun, counselor of the Liaoning Provincial Government, said that in the first five months of last year, when the foreign trade situation in many regions was still in a state of "first suppression", The import and export of Liaoning Province to the "Belt and Road" countries reached 91.39 billion yuan, an increase of 17.1%. "As an important channel and platform for Liaoning to open up to the outside world, the role of China-Europe trains in the future should not be underestimated." Qiao Jun said.
Unlike the government's large-scale promotion, the railway department's efforts to do a good job in service as the starting point are more meticulous like "water mills". In order to ensure the normalization of the operation of the China-Europe express train and smooth the new channel of the "Belt and Road", taking the Dayao Bay Customs affiliated to Dalian Customs as an example, the reporter learned during the interview that it actively explored the reform of the transit transportation mode of the China-Europe express train, fully communicated and cooperated closely with the inspection and quarantine, port, railway and other departments for many times, continuously optimized service and supervision, and launched a number of personalized service measures. Set up a "China-Europe Express" window in the customs clearance hall to receive and deal with China-Europe express trains.
The relevant person in charge of Liaoning Port Group also introduced that the implementation of the "7×24 hours" appointment customs clearance mode, one-stop customs clearance, but also set up a special hotline to answer customs clearance problems at any time, focusing on solving the difficulties encountered by China-Europe express trains in customs declaration, transportation, customs connection and transport supervision in transit.
Dalian Port is one of the four major domestic commodity automobile transshipment hub ports. Tai Jingang, deputy general manager of Dalian Port Co., Ltd., revealed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it will rely on the "Dalian-Kazakhstan" commodity vehicle transit transportation project to further expand the new international multimodal transport channel between Japan and South Korea through Dalian to Central Asia, Russia and Mongolia, attract high-quality industries through the smooth flow of logistics and transportation channels, and create an important window for China's opening to the north and a central hub for cooperation in Northeast Asia.

Vehicle, box, cargo information monitoring to create a "digital" China-Europe train
Containers of different colors are lined up one after another, and the tower cranes are methodically loading and unloading containers under the operation of intelligent machinery. This is the scene that the reporter of the Central Broadcasting Network saw when he first went to the Dalian Railway Container Center Station on September 15.
The intelligence of the Northeast China-Europe express train is far more than that. It is reported that at present, the Shenyang branch of China Railway Container Transport Co., Ltd. actively builds a "digital China-Europe train" through a number of supporting information systems, and further realizes the integration and digital management of china-Europe express trains.
It is worth noting that with the help of the China-Europe express train safety testing and quality evaluation system, the operation information of the train and the handling mechanism of transport failures and emergency safety accidents along the transportation process are established to realize the whole process of information monitoring of vehicles, boxes and goods.
In order to improve the quality and efficiency of train operations, Li Xun said that with the help of the container international intermodal transport information platform system, the relevant data exchange channels of each link of the transport chain, the online sharing of data between the manifest and the port station and customs have greatly shortened the customs clearance time, made the China-Europe train more efficient and convenient, realized the open acceptance of the platform company's train demand, and the open sharing and interconnection application of international intermodal related public information, so as to achieve the whole process of transparency and visual management.
Next, in order to solve the key problems of train development such as logistics connection, business innovation, and marketing publicity, Shenyang Branch of China Railway Container Transport Co., Ltd. will further reduce the cost and risk of logistics throughout the process, improve the quality of train operation, and promote the innovation of train opening mode.
