中新网广州2月25日电 (郭军周灵)据交通运输部珠江航务管理局(简称"珠航局")通报，春节假期刚过，西 江航运干线已是一片繁忙景象。作为西江黄金水道的咽喉要道，正月初七(2月23日)，长洲船闸便迎来 了节后首个船舶过闸小高峰。 为保障西江航运干线水运大通道畅通，有效应对节后船舶集中出港过闸的挑战，珠航局相关负责人表 示，下一步，珠航局将继续聚焦"畅通西江"服务品牌建设，密切跟踪水情与船舶流量变化，在"忙"中 求"畅"，在"快"中求"稳"，充分发挥协调联动机制作用，为沿江企业复工复产和物资运输提供坚实保 障，确保西江"黄金水道"安全畅通有序。(完) 数据显示，正月初七(2月23日)当天，长洲船闸过闸船舶达195艘，较去年农历同期(去年正月初七)大幅 增长83.96%，环比前一日也增长10.80%；当日过闸货运量达57.75万吨，同比激增259.01%，环比增长 20.57%。 [ 责编：董大正 ] 被誉为西江经济活力"晴雨表"的长洲水利枢纽船闸，是世界上最大的单级船闸，承担着西江航运干线 90%以上的货物运输任务。春运前22天，西江航运干线长洲船闸累计过闸船舶5018艘、同比增长 30.47%，累计过闸货运量8 ...

近日，汉江兴隆至蔡甸段2000吨级航道整治工程TJ-01合同段正式通过交工验收。作为汉湘桂内河航运大通道湖北段首个 交工的标段，它的完工不仅意味着汉江通航能力大增，更标志着武汉乃至湖北正加速打破长期"只此一路出长江"的困局，迈 向"东出长江、南下北部湾"的水运双出海新时代。 打通南北水脉 武汉处于关键节点 运费省两成 出海有了第二条路 通道打通后，最直接的利好就是省钱。 水运天然的优势是运量大、成本低，其吨公里平均运费约为铁路的1/4、公路的1/15。一艘万吨级货船的载重量，相当于 100节火车车厢或400辆大卡车的载重量。过去，因为南北水路不畅，湖北乃至陕南的货物出海，只能"千军万马挤长江口"，物 流成本居高不下。 汉湘桂航运大通道湖北段总长1333公里，占通道全长的40%。湖北先后启动 "一船闸一航道""三船闸一航道"工程，全力提 升汉江通航能力。 杨洪波算了一笔账：工程投用后，汉江通航能力大幅提升，大宗商品运输成本预计降低15%—20%。这意味着，等汉湘桂 通道建成后，来自陕南、襄阳等内陆腹地的煤炭、矿石等货物，不必再绕道长江口，可以直接"抄近路"南下广西出海，既省钱 又省时。 从"单口"到"双口"武汉 ...
