June 4 - A new ferry service that can carry trains, motor vehicles and
passengers, and cut more than 1,500 kilometers from a journey between the
cities of Dalian and Yantai, is to begin trial service in August.
The ferry service, which will cross the Bohai strait in north China and
link the two port cities in Liaoning Province and Shandong Province, cost
more than 3 billion yuan (about 370 million U.S. dollars) to build, a
local Chinese official announced.
Currently trains and vehicles traveling from China's northeast region to
the Shandong Peninsula have to go through Shanhaiguan in Hebei Province
and then to Tianjin, a journey of 1,779 km.
Xu Weiguo, deputy governor of Liaoning Province, said the first ferry
will be delivered to Dalian in July.
The trial operations are expected to last two months, said the deputy
governor.
The ferry will travel 170 km across the Bohai Strait shortening the
journey from Shandong Peninsula, one of China's economic powerhouses, to
the re-developing northeast China by 1,609 km.
