China: The first feeder service that connects Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) and Zhuhai International Container Terminals (Jiuzhou), (ZICT(J)) was officially launched on October 28.
The new service, an additional express feeder service for this region, links up the largest export gateway in South China and the busiest river port on the west bank of the Pearl River.
With the new Jiuzhou-Yantian Feeder Service, cargo from the western Pearl River District can be transported to YICT by barge for export. With the shifting of the manufacturing base to the western Pearl River District, there is a growing demand for barge transportation to international container terminals for export.
YICT is also expanding its feeder network to include other cities, namely, Zhongshan, Xiaolan, Shenwan, Shunde, Jiangmen and Jiuzhou.
