The Pinglu Canal in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region started live-ship navigation trial on Wednesday. It is the first full-channel, all-vessel-type live-ship trial on the canal and the last test before the waterway fully opens to navigation in September, the CCTV News reported. 
Four vessels of the 1,000-ton, 3,000-ton and 5,000-ton classes were deployed for the trial. Moving in phases along the canal's main channel, they will verify navigation under different operating conditions and test the performance of navigation aids across the entire route, comprehensively checking the safety and stability of the canal's channel, ship-locks, anchorages and service areas to lay a solid foundation for the canal's opening, said the report. 
The Pinglu Canal is a backbone project of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the first canal linking inland rivers to the sea to be coordinated at the national level since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Overall construction progress has passed 98 percent, the report noted. 
Notably, the canal's planned opening month of September coincides with the annual China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning, Guangxi.
The canal stretches 134.2 kilometers from the Pingtangjiangkou section of the Xijin reservoir area in Nanning, to the Beibu Gulf via Qinzhou city. It can handle 5,000-ton vessels.
Three navigation hubs — Madao, Qishi and Qingnian — are located from upstream to downstream, equipped with twin single-step 5,000-ton ship-locks with a designed annual one-way capacity of 89 million tons. Construction began in August 2022, with a total budgeted cost of 72.719 billion yuan ($10.78 billion), according to Nanning Evening News.
Once in operation, the canal will let ships from the middle and upper reaches of the Xijiang River sail directly to the Beibu Gulf. The canal will cut roughly 560 kilometers from the current inland waterway route to the sea via Guangzhou Port, shortening delivery time and lowering logistics costs, said Xinhua.
The first full‑route patrol of the Pinglu Canal was completed on August 8. During the patrol, maritime authorities conducted on‑site inspections of key navigation conditions, including channel dimensions, curved sections of the waterway, navigational clearance beneath bridges, ship‑lock approach channels and more, the Guangxi Daily reported.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, celebrated for his craft as a director and fresh off the mammoth success of Coolie headlined by Rajinikanth, steps into a full-fledged lead role for the first time. The film takes its title from its principal characters Devadas and Chandra. Wamiqa Gabbi plays Chandra, marking her return to Tamil films in a performance that is already being touted as a stylish pivot for the actor.The project is backed by Sun Pictures who collaborate with Lokesh for the second time following Coolie. With the banner ramping up its slate with star driven spectacles, DC arrives as an intriguing mix of new territory for its leads and a continuation of Arun's increasingly ambitious directorial trajectory.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Arun Matheswaran (@thatswatitis)                         A striking star cast with a seasoned technical crewThe film's world is being shaped by a strong technical lineup. Mukesh G serves as director of photography and is expected to bring the brooding tonal palette he has become known for. GK Prasanna steps in as editor while S Kannan handles production design that is likely to give DC its textured, lived in aesthetic. The stunt choreography is helmed by PC Stunts who have consistently delivered high impact action blocks for some of the biggest titles in the South.Arun Matheswaran last directed Captain Miller starring Dhanush, which hit theatres in 2024 and cemented his position as a filmmaker who blends scale with sharp narrative edges. His move to DC signals a creative continuation, though this time with the added spotlight of guiding Lokesh Kanagaraj in his first major acting outing.                                         Wamiqa Gabbi, who has swiftly become a pan Indian presence, was most recently seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf. She is currently awaiting the release of multiple Hindi projects including Pati Patna Aur Woh Do, Bhooth Bangla, Tiki Taka, and Genie. With DC, she adds yet another varied character to her growing roster of performances.Lokesh, meanwhile, carries only minimal on-screen experience despite his formidable directorial fame. Apart from a cameo in Vijay's Master and a brief appearance in Shruti Haasan's music video Inimel, he has remained largely behind the camera. DC is set to change that narrative entirely and industry watchers are keen to see how he translates his creative energy into a leading role.With filming now wrapped, anticipation shifts to the next wave of updates. For fans of Arun, Lokesh, and Wamiqa, DC is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases on the horizon.Also Read: Sonu Sood, Wamiqa Gabbi and More Lend Support to IndiGo Ground Staff Amid Chaos。
