Chengdu International Railway Port: helping to build a high standard international biomedical supply chain system

On November 15, 2019 Chengdu International biopharmaceutical supply chain conference was held in Chengdu. With the theme of "Chengdu accelerates to build a new hub of international supply chain", the conference attracted more than 100 units including representatives of the world's top 500 pharmaceutical machinery enterprises and domestic leading pharmaceutical enterprises. At the meeting, Chengdu International Railway Port Investment and Development Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chengdu Tianfu international bio City Supply Chain Service Co., Ltd., which opened a new chapter in the transportation of biomedical products by China Europe train (Chengdu) and helped Chengdu build a high standard international biomedical supply chain system

in April this year, the first batch of medical products of iljian, a world pharmaceutical giant, were airlifted to Tilburg, the Netherlands, via Ireland, and arrived in Chengdu on the China Europe train. This is the first case of international air rail intermodal medical product clearance in Western China, marking the official launch of the construction of global biomedical supply chain service center in Chengdu Compared with sea transportation, railway transportation of biomedical products has obvious time advantage. In the past, it took at least two months from Germany, Switzerland and the United States to ship drugs to China until they reached consumers. By using China Europe Express (Chengdu), the whole transportation and customs clearance time can be reduced to less than 15 days. The transportation cost is less than 1 / 8 of that of air transportation, and the efficiency is much higher than that of sea transportation

Chengdu global biomedical supply chain service center was officially established and put into operation. It combines the efficient biomedical inspection process mechanism with the sound international logistics channel of China Europe Express (Chengdu), greatly reducing the import and transportation time of pharmaceutical products, optimizing the inspection process after the pharmaceutical products arrive at the port, and improving the operation of the whole industrial chain Efficiency.

cold chain transportation is an innovation of international railway transportation. As a land port type national logistics hub, Chengdu International Railway Port actively promotes the China Europe train (Chengdu) as the transport carrier of the global biomedical supply chain. At present, the port is in the process of establishing and improving the hardware facilities and software qualifications for the import and transportation of biomedical products, accelerating the standardization construction of biomedical cold chain logistics system and improving relevant service specifications, cooperating with the improvement of inspection, transportation, storage and temperature and humidity detection system in line with international standards and drug GSP requirements, and building a professional quality control system for Chengdu railway port

Chengdu International Railway Port will work with Tianfu international bio city to continuously develop imported biomedical projects suitable for iron, Europe and trade, upgrade international cold chain transport facilities, give full play to the advantages of railway cold chain transport under the gradually improved biomedical supply chain industry system, and strive to build Chengdu into a model city of Southwest biomedical global supply chain.
