Yantian International Container Terminals launches a new direct feeder service

Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) has announced the launch of a feeder service that will run directly from the terminal to the Nine Dragons Paper factory in Xibeisha, Dongguan.
The Yantian-Xibeisha feeder will allow Nine Dragons to cut costs and reduce its carbon footprint by receiving import containers at its factory by barge. cf
Feeder Service will enable Nine Dragons Paper to directly receive import containers at its factory by barge, which is a more cost-effective and less carbon intensive mode of container transport.
YICT has allotted a container storage area within the terminal for this feeder service and made special arrangements with China Customs and the entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau to allow for on-site cargo inspection and disinfection. Additionally, YICT has provided the inspection facilities and manpower needed to ensure the quick transfer of cargo onto barges.
To complement the new feeder service, YICT has opened a five-hectare inland container depot in Shunde, Foshan City. The new depot offers a convenient area for storage of the containers unloaded by Nine Dragons Paper.
