Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Liaoning Port Group announced on the 13th that its sea-rail intermodal container volume exceeded 1.6 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 14%.
Liaoning, situated along both the coast and the border, enjoys unique geographical advantages, boasting efficient ports and a dense land transportation network. In 2025, Liaoning Port Group continued to expand its sea-rail intermodal service network, with its ports in Dalian, Yingkou, Dandong, and Panjin all contributing to a positive overall growth trend.
Among them, Dalian Port added three new port-connecting train routes and innovatively launched five "five-fixed" premium public train routes with fixed points, routes, train numbers, schedules, and prices, improving transportation efficiency by more than 50% compared to scattered freight. Yingkou Port added 2 new inbound and 3 outbound freight train routes, and maintained stable operation of 8 inbound and 7 outbound rail-sea express train routes to Gongzhuling, Wukeshu, and Fujin. It innovated the "railway wide-body container arrival-to-port container-to-intermodal transport" model and built supporting "port-front warehouses," significantly improving the product turnover efficiency of grain deep-processing enterprises in the hinterland.

In 2025, Liaoning Port Group continued to explore diversified and personalized service models, transforming from basic transportation support to value-added empowerment. In terms of operational models, it innovatively launched a new "domestic trade empty container ship direct-to-rail" model, realizing direct shipment of domestic trade empty containers from ships to railways without landing, significantly improving the turnover efficiency of empty containers for customers; it continued to strengthen the "port-front station" model of Shenyang, Changchun, and Tongliao inland ports, forwarding port functions and shipping company empty container resources, and strengthening the integrated service capabilities of "port + inland" sea-rail intermodal transport.
In terms of service systems, the company focuses on accelerating the development of the "single bill of lading" system for multimodal transport, and has deepened cooperation with shipping companies such as Maersk and Ocean Link to extend ocean bills of lading to inland areas, covering major hinterland cities such as Shenyang and Changchun. It is also vigorously promoting the "single bill of lading" and "single container" systems for multimodal transport of grain and processed products, creating a "single bill of lading" service brand for domestic sea-rail intermodal transport, and strengthening the smooth flow of grain from north to south.
