“通海铁路”一期工程开通运营

Core Viewpoint - The opening of the dedicated railway line from Nantong Port to Tongzhou Bay Port marks a significant development in enhancing regional connectivity and supports high-quality growth in the area [1][3]. Group 1: Infrastructure Development - The dedicated railway line is the first of its kind planned and constructed by Nantong, serving as a crucial link between the Ningqi Railway and the Tonghai and Tongzhou Bay port areas [3]. - This railway line is a key transportation project aimed at completing the "last mile" of railway access to the ports, facilitating the "sea into river, river out to sea" intermodal transport system [3]. Group 2: Logistics and Efficiency - The railway line connects the two major port areas through a core hub in Haimen, enabling seamless integration of the railway freight network with the port cluster [3]. - The first container dispatched from Tonghai Port Station was transferred via Haimen Station and delivered to Qingdao Huangdao Station, establishing a logistics artery that connects the Yangtze River and radiates to North China [3]. Group 3: Environmental Impact - The dedicated line enhances transportation efficiency and promotes green development by allowing direct access between the port and railway trunk lines, thus avoiding road congestion and transfer losses [3]. - Compared to road transport, railway transport can reduce carbon emissions by over 80% [3].
