Yantai Rising Dragon International Container Terminal (YRDICT) in China recently stepped up cargo consolidation service with the opening of an independent gate for the terminal’s container freight stations (CFS).
The new gate enables YRDICT to achieve faster turnaround time in its CFS operations as well as increase overall terminal productivity.
“The new CFS gate will definitely improve efficiency of all ship-side operations, container yard receiving and delivery, as well as CFS operations at the terminal,” said Apollo Zhou, YRDICTL general manager, adding that local customs also welcomed this development.
All trucks delivering or picking up cargo at the CFS now go through the new gate without disrupting container yard operations. Prior to the opening of the new gate, trucks had to drive through the yard to reach the CFS.
YRDICT’s CFS operates 24/7 with round-the-clock customs, safety and security checks. It includes a 41,600 m2 open yard freight station and a 4,480 m2 warehouse, and handles more than 400 TEU a day.
Formerly called the Yantai Gangtong Terminal, YRDICT is a joint venture owned by ICTSI (60%), the state-owned Yantai Port Group (20%) and SDIC Communications (20%).
Based in the Philippines, ICTSI’s global network of ports and terminals spans eleven countries on four continents.
