In 2020, facing the impact of COVID-19 epidemic, Guangxi Coastal Railway Co., Ltd. and Beibu Gulf Port Group, under a unified operation mode, introduced policies to reduce container handling charges, exempt container loading/unloading charges for trucks at terminals, extend the free storage period, and broaden the station and cargo categories covered by the preferential policies. They have made 18 applications for reducing freight rates for the goods transported on ILSTC. Now the ILSTC trains services with fixed prices have covered the main provinces in the central and western China, giving full play to the transportation advantages of ILSTC and helping enterprises resume work and production. In 2020, the number of operated ILSTC trains exceeded the sum of the previous three years.
