Yangtze's Main Route Transportation Market Has Great Potential

With the steady development of the export-oriented economy in the Yangtze River Valley, the three vast transportation markets for container, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and cement have enormous potential.

According to experts' forecasting, the freight volume of containers on the main lines of the Yangtze will be increased at an annual rate of 27 percent in the coming 10 years. The volume this year will reach 1.26 million standard boxes.

It is estimated that China will need 13 million tons of LPG this year, including 6 million tons for the Yangtze River Valley.

In addition, the development and construction of Shanghai's Pudong Area have reached an upsurge with an annual demand for 10 million tons of cement. The second phase of the Three Gorges Dam project will also require 4 million tons of cement in the coming five years. Meanwhile, the output of cement along the Yangtze River accounts for 40 percent of the national total which provides infinite opportunities to the cement transportation market.
