Shenyang City will establish Northeast China's largest inland river port, according to the news released during Dalian Port Group's inland river port promotional conference held on October 19th. Connecting Shenyang, a hub in Northeast China, with Dalian Port will facilitate the shipping and logistics efficiency for export cargoes in Shenyang City as customers can complete the customs application procedure at Shenyang Port and then directly load their cargoes at Dalian Port. Dalian is forging ties with many inland cities firming its hinterland as huge port expansion plans get underway at the city.
