新华网杭州12月22日电 12月13日，一列搭载50个集装箱（总重量1300多吨、总货值约260万元）哈萨克斯坦进口小麦、麦麸颗粒的回程班列顺利抵达浙江台州，这也是中欧班列（台州）首趟进口粮食专列。后续，还有20多个集装箱、300多吨粮食通过中欧班列（台州）运到台州头门港（台州港临海港区）。

台州人口众多，土地有限，粮食供应主要依赖进口。为了实现国外优质农产品与台州市场的有效对接，满足台州饲料、酿酒、能源等产业对原材料的需求，自从中欧班列（台州）于2022年开始开行以来，台州相关部门充分发挥平台优势，积极整合境内外资源，开辟了台州市进口粮食的新通道。

"The opening of the China-Europe Express (Taizhou) grain import special train meets the demand for various grains in the Taizhou domestic market, providing consumers with more choices and laying a solid foundation for grain safety in Taizhou," said Zhao Mingxing, director of the Grain and Regulation Division of the Taizhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce. The opening of the train also provides more opportunities for grain trade and cooperation between Taizhou and Central Europe and Central Asian countries, promotes the exchange and cooperation of grain industries between the two places, and promotes the upgrading and optimization of the grain industry in Taizhou.

"Purchasing directly from Kazakhstan to Taizhou Tongmen Port not only facilitates on-site inspection of goods and fast processing of problematic goods but also saves transportation costs. The average transportation cost per container has been reduced by 10% compared to before," said Wang Yi, deputy director of the Office of the Special Working Group on Open Economy in Linhai, Taizhou.

The China-Europe Express (Taizhou) can not only import but also serve exports.

"Taizhou is located in the middle section of China's coastline and is an important intersection of the Belt and Road Initiative and the integration of the Yangtze River Delta. Tongmen Port is the starting point of the China-Europe Express (Taizhou)," said Wang Yi.

On April 7 this year, a train loaded with 240 new energy vehicles departed from Tongmen Port Railway Station and was transported to Lianyungang Port for "going to sea." It finally arrived at the Port of Zeebrugge, Belgium, marking the first time that Tongmen Port has realized the sea-rail intermodal transportation of automobiles.

Wang Yi said that Tongmen Port has advantages in sea-rail intermodal transportation as it has both a port and a railway. It mainly serves the development of Taizhou's outward-oriented economy and radiates the freight transportation needs of surrounding cities and counties.

截至今年10月17日，有10辆二手车从头门港铁路监管区，通过中欧班列（台州）运往老挝。随后，在临海市委、市政府的协调下，台州湾经开区成立了二手车出口专班，负责提供场地装卸、报关发运等相关服务。

“自2019年台州被批准为全国首批二手车出口试点城市以来，台州的二手车出口业务稳步增长。结合台州拥有中欧铁路（台州）运输的优势，今年头门港已经出口了6批次、共计48辆车（包含奔驰等高端车型），货值超过800万元。”王益表示。

为了更好地服务中欧班列（台州）运输，实现“台州货、临海集、头门出”的目标，有效促进产业和商品在“一带一路”建设中的深度参与，台州湾经济技术开发区负责牵头，临海市开放型经济工作专班、临海市城发集团全力以赴，确保头门港铁路监管区的服务运营管理工作顺利进行，方便班列集装箱装卸和货车进出转运等。在2022年已经实现中欧、中亚、中俄三条线路同时运营的基础上，今年台州开通了台州—万象出口线路，以实现每周一列的常态化运营。

今年以来，临海市通过多项举措打造了台州开放的主平台、交通的主枢纽、产业的主阵地以及政策的主集成。例如，推进陆海贸易“通关一体化”，即一次通关检验后所有关口就能一同打通。考虑到中小企业在运输价格上缺乏议价权的问题，政府通过信息整合的方式，帮助中小企业享受与大企业一样的全程化服务，从而大大降低了物流成本，提升了产品竞争力。现在，中小企业只需专注于生产，而不用再担心产品无法及时运送到客户手中。

根据*新消息，截至2023年12月10日，中欧班列（台州）已经在头门港火车站成功发运了54次，共计发运了465柜（930个标箱）的货品，总值金额达到4224.49万元美金（约2.96亿元人民币）。此次发运服务了136家企业。
