THE Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway's Gaolan station in Zhuhai, handled 883,347 tonnes of departing cargo by December with 200,000 tonnes throughput expected by January which would bring the annual total 100 million tonnes.
In 2014, Zhuhai's Gaolan port is targeting on a sea-rail intermodal cargo volume of 10 million tonnes.
The Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway, which opened in late 2012 with a designed annual capacity of 60 million tonnes, connects Gaolan port with the major industrial zones in Zhuhai, and links the city to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and other major lines. It has become an important route for Zhuhai's cargo and has stimulated the city's sea-rail intermodal throughput.
Gaolan station handled the first batch of sea-rail intermodal cargo in April 2013, which was 23 train cars of steel, weighing in at 13.8 million tonnes. In November, the station loaded 83 trains, or 2.8 trains per day.
