The Yangtze River Delta Railway is expected to carry more than 27 million passengers during the May Day holiday
The reporter learned from the State Railway Shanghai Bureau that the Yangtze River Delta Railway’s “May Day” holiday transportation plan will be launched on April 29. According to the current ticket pre-sale situation, the peak passenger flow is expected to occur on May 1.
The transportation during the May Day holiday in 2024 will start from April 29th to May 6th, a total of 8 days. During this period, the Yangtze River Delta Railway is expected to carry more than 27 million passengers, with an average of more than 3.4 million passengers per day. The average daily passenger flow is expected to hit a new holiday high.
According to the pre-sale of tickets, the demand for travel within 1,500 kilometers has been further released.
The peak passenger flow is predicted to occur on May 1. On that day, the number of passengers dispatched is expected to exceed the single-day record of passenger dispatches set during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. From the perspective of passenger flow direction, passenger flow from the Yangtze River Delta region to Beijing, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Changsha, Qingdao and other places is booming.
The railway transportation department coordinates transportation capacity arrangements and arranges transportation capacity in three batches: the basic operation chart plan, the “May Day” passenger planning plan, and the emergency plan. On the basis of implementing the peak line, it is planned to add 192.5 pairs of passenger trains, including 133 pairs of night EMU trains.
The number of passengers sent increased by 21.9% year-on-year, and both passenger and cargo traffic on the China-Laos Railway were booming
Since the beginning of this year, the China-Laos Railway has achieved remarkable results in passenger and freight transportation, showing a vigorous development momentum. According to statistics, from January 1 to April 25, the China-Laos Railway has transported more than 7.16 million passengers, a year-on-year increase of 21.9%. At the same time, the cargo transportation volume has also achieved a leap, exceeding 6.26 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%. %.
With the arrival of the peak tourist season, the passenger flow on the China-Laos Railway shows the characteristics of multiple overlays such as tourist flow, family visiting flow, student flow, etc., and passenger travel demand continues to be strong. The China-Laos Railway carries an average of nearly 62,000 passengers per day, a year-on-year increase of 19.1%, setting a record high.

Asia’s first cylindrical “offshore oil and gas processing plant” was completed in Qingdao, Shandong
On April 26, Asia’s first cylindrical “offshore oil and gas processing plant” independently designed and built by China – “Haikui No. 1” was completed in Qingdao, Shandong Province, marking a major breakthrough in key technologies for the independent construction of deepwater oil and gas equipment in China. .
“Haikui No. 1” is a high-end marine equipment integrating crude oil production, storage, export and other functions. It consists of two parts: the hull and the upper functional module. It is composed of nearly 600,000 parts. According to the super typhoon once in 100 years, Designed under working conditions, the design displacement is 100,000 tons, the maximum oil storage capacity is 60,000 tons, the design life is 30 years, and it can operate continuously at sea for 15 years without returning to dock. Due to the complex production process and high degree of integration of equipment and facilities, engineering construction poses great challenges.
It is reported that after completion, “Haikui No. 1” will be used in the Liuhua Oilfield in my country’s Pearl River Mouth Basin. The operating water depth is about 324 meters and it can process about 5,600 tons of crude oil every day. The oil field pioneered the new development model of “over 300 meters deepwater jacket + cylindrical floating production, storage and offloading device” in China, providing a new option for the efficient development of my country’s deepwater oil and gas fields.
