In the past three years, Hunan Iron and Steel Group has continued to transfer steel and ore at the Changsha Xingang Wharf.

"After the signing of the agreement, it will be used through the" Iron Water Gong "of Changsha Xingang to reduce intermediate transshipment links and save logistics costs for Hunan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd.," said Xin Hua, general manager of Hunan Changsha Xingang Co., Ltd.

How to save?

Generally speaking, the logistics method needs to optimize the cost on the basis of ensuring the safety of supply. The "Iron Water Gong" provided by Changsha New Port is to shorten the railway transportation process and expand the water transport transportation process.

The proportion of water transportation, railways, and highways is about 1: 1.5: 8.6; according to the price of logistics, it is about 1: 5: 10. In this way, the price of railway transportation is 5 times that of water transportation.

"Our" Iron Water Gong "transportation has walked about 160 kilometers of Xiangjiang Waterway." Xin Hua said that the railway is shorter, the waterway is longer, and the ring is calculated, saving the logistics cost "proper".

Not only that, Changsha New Port will also provide logistics services for Hunan Iron and Steel Group to provide raw material ore and finished steel, forming a "two -way" logistics channel at the port. If the customer transports raw materials to Changsha Xingang to all parts of the country, you can load steel back in the port, saving costs, safe and environmentally friendly.

Someone wants to ask, what is good for Changsha Xingang to sign a strategic cooperation agreement?

In fact, for ports, only if a large amount is done can we further amortary operating costs. After the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement, the Hunan Iron and Steel Group will organize more sources of supply to the Changsha Port to load, unload, storage and transportation, and effectively promote the reduction of costs and efficiency of Changsha New Port.

According to statistics released by Changsha Customs on the 13th, the first May, water transportation was the main trade method, accounting for over 70 %. From January to May, the import and export of Hunan Waterway was 172.94 billion yuan, an increase of 20.6%year -on -year, accounting for 72.3%of the total import and export value.

The transportation cost is low, the transportation volume is large, and the water transportation becomes "fragrant".

From January to May this year, Changsha New Port completed a total of 5.556 million tons of cargo throughput, an increase of 20.2%year -on -year.

From "stacking" to "shopping mall"

Increasing the income in 2021 280 million yuan

The time returned to the Spring Festival in 2020. At that time, more than 70 ships were parked at the Changsha Xingang Port and nearby anchors, and a large number of goods were to be unloaded. Among them, the steel inventory was recorded at a record high since the establishment of the port, reaching 170,000 tons.

Later, Changsha resumed production and resumption of production, and the demand for steel increased significantly. Changsha Xingang has started the steel sales business in April, and the "port+commerce" began.

"We are both cargo loading and unloading workers, inventory administrators, or sales salespersons." Xin Hua said, the upgrade of "port+commerce" has bid farewell to the traditional history of port loading and unloading orders and do not business. It also meets the demand for steel for the construction of the Changsha project, and further reduces the cost of logistics and sales.

Since its launching steel sales business, Changsha New Port has changed from traditional "stacking" to "shopping malls".

Steel merchants do not need to come to the port in person, and only need to complete transactions through the Internet, and ports use the operation model of logistics and commerce and trade to achieve integration of supply, sales, and port integration.

Xin Hua told Kan Caijun that in 2021, relying on the new operating model of the sales of steel, Changsha New Port achieved an increase of 280 million yuan. This new model has brought new economic growth points to the port, increasing the port service project, and extending the function and role of the port to both ends of the logistics chain.

Kancaijun was informed that in the future, the iron ore imported by Hunan Iron and Steel Group is transported to the steel plant through the "iron water" of Changsha Xingang. After processing, finished steel is formed, and the finished steel is shipped to the port. The port provides storage and trade services. After leaving, send it to all parts of the country through the port.

"This is the full supply chain service from raw materials, products to steel trade, and warehousing provided by Changsha New Port for enterprises, that is, one -stop service." Xinhua said.

In the future, will Hunan Iron and Steel Group also do business through Changsha Xingang?

"It has begun." Xin Hua said that at present Changsha New Port has promoted Hunan Iron and Steel Group's steel sales in the north of Changsha City.

In 2022, it had traffic operation conditions."After opening to traffic, Changsha New Port will truly realize the" water -rail public 'seamless connection multi -function hub that integrates the port of the past, the port, and the port of the port, and become the function of Changsha.The most complete inland river port. "Xin Hua said.

Hardware equipment is continuously improved. What convenience and benefits will it be provided for enterprises in the future?It is worth looking forward to.
