Efforts have been made to simplify the handover process for customers with needs for shipment through international freight trains and provide a service platform integrating the functions of booking cargo space, examining documents, payment and settlement, customs affairs, supply chain finance, renting boxes, and international trade. The CRE trains are networked with domestic and overseas railway companies to realize the exchange of electronic waybills and container location information in real time and to ensure overseas transshipment, inspection and clearance efficiency, and transportation safety of international freight trains. The one-stop online service of Xi'an CRE trains ranks first in China.
Real-time supervision of the location, sealing status, temperature, humidity, and other information of containers in transit can be realized by relying on BeiDou and the global wireless network. Real-time recording of container and cargo information and related safety information in container shipment can improve the safety and transparency of the whole process of container logistics.
