Tianjin Port links sea and rail routes

Tianjin Port is strengthening its connection to the Middle East and Europe by transport systems that seamlessly integrate sea and rail shipment.

The first sea-railway container station in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was opened in Tianjin Port, the largest port in northern China, at the end of June.

Construction was started on the hub in July 2009, as a collaboration of Tianjin Port and the Beijing Railway Bureau. Now, it has an annual capacity of 400,000 twenty-foot equivalent units.
