Hubei provincial government issued a 2026–2030 implementation plan to accelerate
multimodal transport. The plan aims to, by 2030, upgrade about 30 provincial
freight nodes, keep major ports’ rail entry rate at 100%, complete a Wuhan
multimodal service centre and enable data interoperability across rail, inland
waterways, road, air, warehousing and postal systems. It targets about 10%
annual growth in port container rail‑water intermodal volumes and a single‑order
rail‑water intermodal container share above 30%, while cultivating five
intermodal operators/logistics integrators with cross‑regional connectivity and
end‑to‑end control. The plan seeks to cut social logistics costs to roughly 12%
of GDP and position Hubei as a national multimodal benchmark province.
