Chinese logistics company Neptune Logistics has launched a multimodal dry port on the southern outskirts of Alashankou, just 6 km from the Dostyk–Alashankou railway border crossing.

The logistics complex covers approximately 13.3 hectares and includes a container yard, customs warehouse, bonded warehouse, hazardous cargo storage, and temperature-controlled facilities for reefer cargo.

The new dry port offers a full range of logistics services, including cargo consolidation and LCL handling, hazardous cargo storage, reefer container operations, storage of empty and loaded containers, customs clearance, and cross-border trucking.

According to the operator, the launch is expected to significantly reduce transit times across Eurasian routes: around 3 days to Central Asia, about 7 days to Moscow, and approximately 10 days to Europe. The project is set to strengthen the role of the Dostyk–Alashankou crossing as one of the key land corridors between China and Eurasia.
