Guoyuan Port establishes 7 dry ports in Sichuan and Guizhou

Liangjiang New Area is strengthening its role as a comprehensive inland opening-up hub, with Guoyuan Port at the forefront by establishing seven new dry ports in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces.

These dry ports facilitated the transport of over 3,100 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) from Sichuan to Guoyuan Port in 2025 alone, creating a vital logistics artery for industrial collaboration in the Chengdu-Chongqing region.

Dry ports serve as logistics service platforms in non-port areas, offering essential port services such as customs clearance, inspection, and bill of lading issuance. They enable enterprises to benefit from locally available port-related preferential policies for import and export activities, reducing time and logistics costs.

A prime example is the Longquanyi Dry Port in Chengdu, which enables container cargo from the Chengdu Economic and Technological Development Zone to be transported to Shanghai via Guoyuan Port through combined river-sea transport.

This method saves eight days in transit time, increases cargo turnover by 40 percent, and reduces logistics costs for enterprises by over 10 percent.
