On July 26, 2024, the Olympic Games of Paris 2024 grandly kicked off against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. This remarkable occasion transcends mere athletic competition—it celebrates a rich tapestry of culture and art. As various events unfold intensely, many thrilling moments emerge.
Amid this dazzling spectacle, the China Media Group (CMG) has captured significant attention with its outdoor broadcasting studio. Set against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, the studio delivers real-time sports updates, creating an immersive environment by integrating live venues and virtual technology. This approach ensures high-quality Olympic coverage and a rich audio-visual experience for viewers.
Behind these thrilling events lies the contribution of the China Railway Express (Xi'an), which transported equipment used for CMG broadcasting of the Olympic Games. This marks the first time that CMG utilized the China Railway Express (CRE) to transport its broadcasting equipment for the Olympic Games. The equipment was shipped by the CRE train with full operation scheduleto the port of Duisburg in Germany and then delivered to Paris through a combined rail and road transport method. The whole running time took 17 days.
BOZ Logistics, a subsidiary of Xi'an International Inland Port Investment & Development Group (ITL Group), efficiently coordinated resources for this transportation, marking the inaugural journey of CMG's broadcasting equipment on the CRE. A tailored plan was developed, closely monitoring critical stages such as container loading, clearance, departure, and transshipment at foreign stations, ensuring the arrival of the equipment as scheduled.
The CRE train with full operation schedule utilized by CMG is operated by Xi'an International Inland Port Multimodal Transportation Co., Ltd. This service adheres to strict station stop-time standards and implements measures of giving priority to formation, trailer transport, and departure. These efforts effectively shorten operating times across CRE train's processes, reducing idle stop time during cargo transfers at ports, and ensuring that the service of each section is completed according to the handover date/time and specified train number. Currently, the service has been adjusted to four outbound trips and three inbound trips each week, guaranteeing a running time of less than 12 days.
The successful delivery of CMG's Olympic broadcasting equipment via CRE train with full operation schedule marks the formation of the synergy between railway transport and other logistics modes such as sea and road transport. This development stands to benefit more Chinese industries looking to access international markets.
The exciting events of the Olympic Games in Paris are still underway. Let's celebrate this remarkable moment of determination and resilience! Go, Team China!
