On August 6, the integrated water transport dispatching platform for river and sea of Guangxi is officially launched for trial operation. This marks the achievement of significant phased results in the digital transformation of Guangxi's water transport and the entry of river-sea intermodal transport into a new stage of intelligent dispatching.

Guangxi is located at a key node of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor. In the past, the ship locks on the previous Xijiang River main shipping route, along the Pinglu Canal, and also on the Beibu Gulf Port each operated under their own independent dispatch mechanisms. Deep-seated data fragmentation across different departments led to poor lock-port coordination and insufficient integration of river-sea intermodal transport, posing a major obstacle to lowering logistics costs and improving operational efficiency in water transport. In response to the navigation support needs of the Pinglu Canal and the development strategy of the Beibu Gulf Gateway Port, Guangxi has developed an integrated water transport dispatching platform for river and sea to boost the regional industrial growth and further opening-up.

Relying on the newly launched integrated dispatching platform, Guangxi will fully utilize "artificial intelligence +" means to improve the intelligent water transport dispatching system, and lay a solid water transport guarantee for the New Western Land-Sea Corridor.
