"The Ministry of Transport and other departments jointly issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Multimodal Transportation "One Single System" and "One Container System", aiming to promote the high-quality development of multimodal transport, enhance the efficiency of transport and logistics, and provide services to support the realisation of the "smooth flow of goods". The aim is to promote the high-quality development of multimodal transport, improve the efficiency of transport and logistics, and provide services to support the realisation of "smooth flow of goods". Strive to achieve through 3-5 years of efforts, "a single system" "a box system" regulations and systems to further improve the system, open sharing of information to accelerate the deepening and expansion of the function of the document service, leading backbone enterprises continue to develop and grow, the promotion of the "one single system" "one box system" development. The "one single system" and "one box system" service modes will improve the quality and efficiency of integrated transport services and help build a new development pattern.
The market demand for multimodal transport continues to expand multimodal transport as a preferred option for integrated transport, can combine the advantages of different modes of transport, improve transport efficiency, and reduce logistics costs. At present, China's multimodal transport volume accounts for only 2.9% of the total social freight volume, far below the level of developed countries. Compared with the United States, the proportion of China's sea-rail intermodal transport is only 2.5%, while the proportion of the United States sea-rail intermodal transport is as high as 40%. Compared with France, the proportion of sea-rail intermodal transport in China is 2.9 per cent, while the proportion of sea-rail intermodal transport in France has reached 35 per cent. These data show that there is an obvious gap between China's multimodal transport development level and that of developed countries in Europe and the United States. However, with the continuous development of China's economy and the growing market demand, the demand for multimodal transport is also gradually increasing. The increase in demand also means that the freight forwarding industry to provide supporting multimodal transport services, but also produces a new profit point!"
