Lianyungang Port invests in intermodal hub in Khorgos

2019-01-24

Lianyungang Port Group has signed an agreement with the government of Khorgos for the development of an intermodal hub in the city.

The project will involve the construction of a logistics center combining both railway and road connections and bonded warehousing facilities.

China is increasingly looking to Kazakhstan as a key hub for its Belt and Road routes. Khorgos, a border town between China and Kazakhstan, is one of the major centres for a railway network connecting China and Europe.

Currently Lianyungang Port has a direct container train connection with Khorgos.

In 2017, Lianyungang Port, in partnership with Cosco, took a 49% stake in the Khorgos Dry Port.
