Xinhua reported from Minsk that on 6 November 2026 the GREATPORT multimodal railway yard at the China-Belarus Industrial Park, on the outskirts of Minsk, formally opened. The first China-Europe container trains leaving the yard for China were named Wheat Spike and Cornflower.
GREATPORT is described as a modern logistics complex invested and operated by Eurasian Land Transport Corridor Co., a resident enterprise of the park. It can assemble, dispatch and receive container block trains for import, export and transit flows.
Design annual throughput is 180,000 TEU, with plans to raise capacity to 500,000 TEU. Four rail lines and supporting facilities are already built. Belarus's First Deputy Prime Minister Snopkov said at the opening that the new yard would lift Belarus's station capacity by about one-third.
China's ambassador to Belarus said the yard will serve park residents, support two-way goods flows between China and Belarus, and use Belarus's Eurasian hub position to strengthen regional trade links. Shippers should confirm with CE operators how GREATPORT bookings, customs handoffs and onward China gateways are offered on commercial products.
