TIANJIN Port Logistics Development Company's new sea-rail intermodal service linking the port to north hinterland China's Yuci, neighbouring the major city of Taiyuan, some 500 kilometres southwest or the seaport, carried more than 1,100 TEU in three months since it started up May.

    The service mainly carries Guangdong- or Fujian-made ceramic tiles and building material from Tianjin to Taiyuan (pop 4.2 million), and Kaolin soil and ceramic on the return leg.

    Tianjin Port is now operating 15 sea-rail intermodal services to hinterland regions. These services brought 129,000 TEU to its throughput during the first half of year.
