Yantai Rising Dragon International Container
Terminal Ltd. (YRDICTL) recently boosted cargo consolidation
service at the Yantai Rising Dragon International Container
Terminal (YRDICT) in China with the recent 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 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," says
Apollo Zhou, YRDICTL General Manager. "Local customs also
welcomed this development," he adds.
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
passed through the main terminal gate and through the yard
before reaching the CFS.
YRDICT’s CFS operates 24/7 under close
management supervision with round-the-clock customs, safety and
security checks.
CFS includes an open yard freight station of
41,600 square meters and a warehouse of 4,480 square meters. It
is mainly engaged in the business of cargo consolidation for
import and export containers and handles a daily capacity of
over 400 TEUs.
