At their fifth logistics talks held in Weihai, Shandong Province on September 6-7, South Korea and China signed a comprehensive logistics agreement which will allow through transportation of tractor-trailers carrying ocean containers.
Currently, containers must be loaded on at least two different trailers in between arrival at ports and the final destination, as the two countries had not allowed foreign-registered trailers to run on their home soil.
The new agreement will enable the initial shipping container loaded on a trailer at the origin to travel by ground intact in both countries, thereby eliminating the unloading-loading process on the way and saving costs for both shippers and truckers.
Once the agreement takes effect in October, the new door-to-door service will available in six major ports of the two countries, including Incheon and Pyeongtaek in South Korea and Weihai, Yantai, Shidao and Qingdao in Shandong Province of China.
