The pilot project aims to achieve a number of national leading innovative practices in the integration and intelligence of sea rail intermodal transportation, smart port construction, multimodal transportation "one order system" and "one box system", and container sharing and allocation system construction through two years of creation. The eastern, central, and western channels of the Western Land Sea New Corridor are fully open, and the main body of the Pinglu Canal has been completed, quickly demonstrating its role as a national strategic channel in the transformation and connection of different transportation modes such as river, rail, and sea in the Western Land Sea New Corridor. The establishment of the China ASEAN Multimodal Transport Alliance has made significant progress.
Guangxi will actively collaborate with Chongqing and Sichuan, taking the high-level construction of the Western Land Sea New Corridor as the driving force, and complete the various target tasks determined by the pilot program with high quality. All parties will achieve positive results in the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure and the "soft connectivity" of institutional rules, solidly promote the cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement of transportation and logistics, effectively reduce the logistics costs of the whole society, and provide strong support for further promoting the circulation of the national economy, supporting the construction of a modern industrial system, and serving the construction of a new development pattern.
