Containers are sealed at the bonded zone and transported directly by rail to Jiangyin Port for loading onto ships, eliminating intermediate transshipment.
The new route cuts transit time by 10 days compared with the previous river-sea route while also reducing overall logistics costs.
Yihua's PVC products are exported to more than 50 countries, with major markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The new rail-sea route will provide Yichang's chemical industry with more logistics options while strengthening Yihua's supply chain reliability in international markets.
