Ningbo port charts big dreams

Rail-maritime links on New Silk Road offer huge opportunities, say Zhejiang officials

Ningbo port is actively expanding its railway links with China's northwestern region, in an effort to better connect with Central Asia to implement the Silk Road Economic Belt strategy.

The port, to the south of Shanghai and the third largest port in China (the fourth largest in the world) in terms of cargo shipment, is seeking to expand its hinterland by encouraging more inland export shipment through Ningbo.
