Yantai Port, a pivotal coastal port for the foreign trade in commodity vehicles in China, has set up an innovative "four-in-one" export operation system for commodity vehicles which integrates roll-on/roll-off, container, flat-rack container and breakbulk cargo lifting.

So far the port has opened 21 foreign trade routes for commodity vehicles which made connections with main commodity vehicle docks around the world. Meanwhile the port has also established a green channel covering the entire industrial chain, with continuously improved efficiency in customs clearance operations.

The port has completed a multi-modal total freight volume of 723,000 commodity vehicles in the first 10 months of the year, a 8.6 percent increase year on year. (Xinhua/Li Ziheng)
