Building Wuxi West Station Logistics Hub

Jiangsu, China, May 26: Wuxi West Railway Station Logistics Park has a planned area of ​​5.78 square kilometers, which is an important carrier for Wuxi’s construction of a commercial logistics center and a key project for Jiangsu’s southern Jiangsu modernization demonstration area. The park was named "Jiangsu Provincial Key Logistics Base" and "Jiangsu Province Modern Service Industry Cluster District" and won the title of "National Excellent Logistics Park" in 2013. In recent years, the overall orientation of “building the logistics hub of the West Railway Station in Wuxi, building a multi-modal transport base for public iron and steel in the South of Jiangsu Province, and maximizing the use of the “combination of public, railway, and water resources in the park” has been established. solid foundation.

The first is to tap the unique advantages of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the waterway. Nearly 500 million yuan was invested, and the Wutang Qutang Port Area was built, and 2.5 kilometers of pilot rivers were excavated. A 600-mu port and dock was built. At present, the park has 15 berths with 500-ton capacity, 7 of which have been put into trial operation. Another 8 are being submitted for approval. In 2013, the water transportation throughput reached 1.4 million tons.

The second is to take advantage of the advantages of the new long-term rail freight - build a green line. Nearly 300 million yuan in investment, planning and construction of five railway lines, including two full-arrival lines, three end lines. There are three special lines that have entered the track laying stage and will be completed and put into operation in the third quarter of 2014. It is expected that after the five special lines are fully connected and open to traffic, the railway transportation capacity will reach 4 million tons/year. At present, it is applying for the “Department of Iron and Steel Combined Transport Demonstration Base” of the Ministry of Communications.

The third is to give full play to the advantages of Wuxi Tongda's land transport hub - connecting highways. With the advantage of the 312 national highway and the 342 provincial road directly connecting the park, the Xiyi and Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed crossings have a short-distance connection to the park. This will open up the traffic nodes and optimize the surrounding road network so that the Wuxi West Railway Logistics Park will become a core hub for regional transportation. . At present, in conjunction with the traffic construction in the western part of Wuxi, the construction of fast trunk roads in the park will be accelerated, which will further highlight the advantages of land transportation in the park.

The fourth is to rely on a number of major industrial strategic projects - a brand. In accordance with the development trend and requirements of the national logistics industry, the overall development goal of “striving for a national-level integrated logistics demonstration park” was put forward, focusing on the construction of the East China Iron and Steel Supply Chain Logistics Base, the South Jiangsu Iron and Steel Multimodal Transport Base and the Wuxi City Public Distribution Base. . It has successfully introduced a batch of modern e-commerce leading projects such as China Minmetals, Tianjin Property, Zhejiang Property, and Guangdong Oupu, among a group of Fortune 500 companies, Cainiao Network and Shenzhen International.

In the next stage, in accordance with the general requirements of “enhancing logistics service functions and expanding and strengthening the logistics industry”, with the overall goal of “building Wuxi logistics CBD and building Jiangsu E-commerce logistics valley”, we will further give full play to the advantage of the public transportation system and enlarge the multimodality. The effect of the mode of intermodal transport has focused on the construction of four major functional platforms - "transportation port", "inland river feed port", "modern road port" and "information technology port".

We will give full play to the role of regional cargo transit hubs and build a "transportation port" for multimodal transport. Make full use of the advantages of the Xinchang railway to communicate with the central and western regions of North Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, and through the Longhai Railway. Combine the advantages of port and highway consolidation and transportation in this park, scientifically organize terminal operations, railway operations, and highway transportation to achieve seamless water Docking, to create regional cargo transit hub. Give play to the role of agglomeration of regional freight hubs, vigorously develop two-way transportation of goods such as grain, oil, timber, steel, machinery and equipment, reduce logistics costs, speed up the flow of goods, and better play the agglomeration effect of logistics parks.

Further accelerate the construction of the Wutang Qutang Port, making it an important "inland feed port" in Wuxi and even southern Jiangsu. Give full play to the park's Weitang Port as a competitive advantage of Jiangsu's top 10 inland ports, actively apply for the nation's second-class inland ports, and create ports for feeding and branching in Jiangsu freight hub ports. Through close cooperation with major ports in Jiangsu Province such as Shanghai Port and Taicang Port, the routes to these ports have been opened. Continuing to consolidate its advantages in inland water transportation such as steel and timber, it has also begun to develop transport services for goods with low timeliness and high cost sensitivity for grain and oil, agricultural resources, etc., and become an inland river cargo distribution center in and around Wuxi.

We will better use land transportation advantages to create "modern highway ports" for inland transportation. Focusing on the construction of “modern highway ports”, and relying on the deep international modern logistics port (Wuxi) project, we will strengthen the construction of five major functional areas: (1) Strengthen the function of trunk line transportation—integrate highway LTL carriers, mainly Wuxi and its surrounding areas. The city provides highway LTL transportation services. (2) Strengthen the function of cargo stowage loading - attract a large number of transport owners into the park to carry out cargo stowage services. (3) Strengthen the construction of transfer and intermodal functions - Relying on the advantages of the intersection of railways, highways, and inland rivers in the park, the transshipment services are provided to the owners who need to provide transshipment services for roads, railways, and ports. (4)Strengthen the construction of regional distribution functions - provide road distribution services for railways, inland rivers to reach the park and goods in the surrounding areas. (5) Strengthen the construction of new-type functions - Focus on the construction of urban public distribution centers, supply chain operation and management centers, and e-commerce back-office logistics platforms, and build the park into a modern logistics base with large scale, full functions, new formats, and excellent facilities.

Actively use modern information technology to create an "information technology port" for multimodal transport. Driven by the China Smart Logistics Backbone Network (Wuxi Huishan) project, it will provide an open service platform for all types of B2B, B2C and C2C companies through the construction of a prosperous e-commerce trading platform and an efficient logistics trading platform, leading and driving Wuxi. Station logistics parks and surrounding areas have become emerging industry clusters.
