Yantai Railway Ferry has been running for many years, why just through the freight and not passenger transportation?

Freight traffic is large, may be transported irregularly, the arrival site may not be much, signed contracts, large enterprises large orders, has been formed by the line profit, so that it is difficult to think of earning money on unstable train passenger transportation.

Yantai Ferry Line is fundamentally different from Guangdong Ferry Line: ? The Yantai ferry line (Yantai North - Lvshun West) does not handle traditional passenger rail service and is not listed in the railroad passenger tariff mileage table, and there are no scheduled passenger trains via this line, but the Yantai China Railway Ferry provides roll-on/roll-off passenger transportation, which is essentially still ferry passenger transportation, and its official website is: China Railway Bohai Railway Ferry Co.

The Guangdong-Haikou ferry line (Hai'annan-Haikou) does not handle through passenger service with other lines, except for through trains.

The line is listed on page 122 of the Railway Passenger Fare Mileage Table, and currently there are Harbin West-Haikou Z112/113/114/111, Beijing West-Sanya Z201/202, Changchun-Sanya Z384/385/386/383 direct special express, Zhengzhou-Haikou K457/458, Shanghai South-Haikou K511/512 Changsha-Haikou K1167/1168 through express trains via this route. In addition, the Guangdong-Haikou railroad ship Hai'an-Haikou also handle the railroad ferry boat passenger service.
