Regional initiative calls for shared logistics hubs in Sichuan, Chongqing and Hubei
On November 8, a regional logistics cooperation initiative was launched in Wanzhou, in Chongqing.
It brings together northeastern Sichuan and Chongqing with western Hubei, areas linked by the Yangtze River and nearby transport routes.
The initiative calls for better connections between river, rail and road transport so goods can move through the region more efficiently and reliably.
It also proposes a cluster of shared multimodal freight hubs, linking inland rail distribution with port transfers.
The groups involved are urged to share information on cargo, transport capacity and policies, and to coordinate logistics services and routes.
Closer coordination could ease transport bottlenecks and strengthen supply chains, including the movement of industrial materials and agricultural products.
The initiative calls for regular coordination among the regions, but does not set out a timetable for carrying out the proposals.
A regional logistics cooperation initiative calls for Sichuan’s northeast, Chongqing’s northeast and western Hubei to build a cluster of multimodal transport hubs.
The initiative was released at a logistics and supply-chain development seminar in Wanzhou, Chongqing, on November 8.
It proposes linking waterways, railways and ports and sharing information on cargo, transport capacity and policy.
The initiative says closer coordination could improve freight flows, supply-chain resilience and emergency supply capacity.
It also calls for regular coordination among local districts, ports, logistics companies and industrial parks.

What people are saying
We should coordinate the development of the logistics network with improvements to logistics hub operations, accelerate the development of the Three Gorges logistics hub economic zone, strengthen factor integration and innovation, and plan innovative applications and cultivate growth projects.
We should foster new service formats while effectively reducing modern logistics costs across society, explore new growth models for modern logistics as room for incremental growth narrows, and expand new paths for creating value in modern supply chains through industrial and supply-chain coordination.
