At the same time, the Sunan Canal completed the "three to two" project, realizing all-weather navigation of 2000-ton ships, and the supporting service area allows boat people to "dock as home". The pattern of large ships and ports helps the regional economic cycle, highlighting the golden effect of the "golden waterway.

From January to February this year, China-Europe trains opened a total of 3501 trains, sending goods 352000 standard boxes, an increase of 32% and 25% respectively over the same period last year, showing a trend of both quantity and quality. The railway department has improved the competitiveness of the train by deepening domestic and foreign cooperation, optimizing the digital port system, and ensuring the timeliness of the whole transportation. During the Spring Festival, the train "does not close", which effectively guarantees the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain, and provides transportation support for the supply of foreign trade market and the resumption of production by enterprises.

Strengthen the supervision of ships involved in passenger and danger through information monitoring and special rectification actions; implement the "four priorities" green channel to ensure the smooth transportation of key materials; and take measures such as intelligent dispatching, linkage control and optimization of services for the repair period of the Three Gorges and Gezhouba locks to ensure the stability of the security situation in the jurisdiction and the orderly transportation of key materials.

In the work report of the Supreme People's Court, many judicial practices in the field of transportation have attracted attention. The report makes it clear that the use of assisted driving after drunkenness still requires criminal responsibility, the judgment of forced sitting and insulting others constitutes an infringement of personality rights, and explores mechanisms such as "liner seizure notice" to balance the rights and interests of all parties.
