Guoyuan port area, a river terminal situated in Liangjiang New Area, will see its second phase terminal completed by year end. This will bring an annual capacity of nearly two million tonne capacity to the port area.


Chongqing aims to build Guoyuan port area into a intermodal logistics hub where multiple means of transportation joins, including waterway, railway and highway, according to Xinhua`s report.

 
By 2014, a rail line will be built at the port area to link to the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe railway, enabling cargo from the lower reaches of Yangtze to be shipped to the port area and be carried via railway to Europe.

 
Chongqing also plans to expand the railway network inside the Liangjiang New Area to a level equivalent to European developed countries by 2015.
