Wuhan, capital city of Central China's Hubei province, is set to further develop its logistics network and build an integrated land-sea transport corridor, as outlined in the city's Three-year Action Plan for Logistics Cost Reduction and Efficiency Increase (2020-2022) which was released on Dec 10.
According to the action plan, over the next three years, Wuhan will build 80 major international aviation corridors, develop 50 domestic all-cargo routes, promote airport expansion projects such as the third runway of Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and the renovation of the T2 terminal building, and accelerate the construction of aviation logistics service centers.
The city is to accelerate the formation of a "hub-and-spoke" aviation network system covering the whole country, and even the world.
The action plan clearly states that Wuhan will further improve the land-sea transport corridor in Central China.
It will build six international railway trunk routes directly to foreign hub cities including Duisbur in Germany and Moscow in Russia, as well as two direct river-sea routes to Japan and South Korea.
It will also build four rail-sea combined transport channels for exit through coastal cities such as Dalian, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Guangzhou, and two river-sea combined transport channels for transit via Shanghai.
In the next three years, Wuhan will effectively build a three-tier urban distribution network, supported by a "distribution center - public distribution center - terminal distribution network" model.
The city is to introduce leading logistics companies including DHL, Cainiao Network, and JD Logistics to set up regional or functional headquarters in Wuhan and develop more than 10 supply chain collaboration platforms with industrial and market advantages.
By 2022, Wuhan is expected to have established a modern logistics service system that is networked, specialized, intensive and intelligent.
