中国—东盟跨境物流新添公水联运“绿色通道”

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a new public-water transport "green channel" between China and ASEAN significantly reduces logistics costs for exporting large machinery, enhancing the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises in the ASEAN market [1][2]. Group 1: Logistics Cost Reduction - The logistics cost for transporting a set of four semi-trailers from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area to the Friendship Pass was approximately 6,000 yuan; now, using the public-water transport, the cost has decreased by 1,200 yuan, representing a 20% reduction [2]. - The seamless transport process, which includes waterway and road connections, allows for direct delivery from Dongguan to Vietnam in just 10 days, significantly cutting costs compared to all-road transport [1]. Group 2: Market Demand and Growth Potential - The demand for logistics equipment, such as semi-trailers, has surged following the implementation of the RCEP, leading to increased container throughput at ASEAN ports [2]. - The collaboration between Chaozhou City Construction Group and CIMC Lighthouse Semi-Trailer Business Group indicates strong confidence in the growth potential of this transport channel [2]. Group 3: Economic Integration and Development - The new transport channel is not merely a logistics route but also a means of economic integration, contributing to the construction of regional logistics hubs and fostering closer ties within the China-ASEAN community [3]. - The channel aligns with the broader development of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor and the Pinglu Canal Economic Belt, providing a model for regional economic growth [3].
