湖南“湘潭—东盟”铁海联运班列首发

7月15日9时，一列满载化学原材料的列车从湘潭电化铁路有限公司专用铁路鸣笛开出，驶向广东黄埔港。这些货物将通过海运接驳，被送往印度尼西亚雅加达。这是长株潭都市圈今年开行的首趟前往东盟的铁海联运班列。

At 09:00 a.m. on July 15th, a train fully loaded with chemical raw materials departed from the dedicated railway of Xiangtan Electrochemical Railway Co., Ltd., to the Huangpu Port of Guangdong. The cargo will be transshipped to Jakarta, Indonesia. It is the first rail-sea intermodal train to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) from Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan metropolitan area this year.

“湘潭—东盟”铁海联运通道进一步完善了湖南国际班列铁路物流网络，为湖南及周边外贸运输提供了新选择，并为促进与东盟各国的经贸往来，助推高质量共建“一带一路”注入新动能。

The Xiangtan-ASEAN rail-sea intermodal route not only further improves the railway logistic network of Hunan international freight train, but also provides  new options for foreign trade transportation in Hunan and surrounding areas. It also injects new impetus into facilitating the economic and trade interactions between Hunan and ASEAN countries, and boosting the high-quality co-construction of the Belt and Road.
