The rail-sea intermodal volume of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in East China's Zhejiang province reached 1.82 million twenty-foot equivalent units by Nov 24, marking a 9 percent year-on-year increase and exceeding the full-year total of last year.

This performance further strengthens the port's position as the country's largest hub for container rail-sea intermodal services related to foreign trade and reflects the port's continued expansion into inland markets.

Since the beginning of this year, four new rail-sea routes and two new cargo services have been added, now covering 69 cities across 16 province-level regions, with 111 routes and 40 inland dry ports. Both network scale and route count rank first among domestic ports, creating a logistics corridor that links the port to inland regions.

To meet rising inland export demand, the port has tailored cargo services for areas like Yiwu and accelerated dedicated intermodal routes for locations such as Hefei and Wuhan, helping inland industries access global markets through coastal channels.
