Railway freight transportation: highlight the backbone and guard the blue sky
More and more blue sky, better and better air, this is a real feeling of many people, but also confirmed by the data. In a blue sky defense report card issued by the Ministry of ecological environment at the end of April, it is gratifying to see that the "2 + 26" cities in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Fenwei plain have substantially exceeded the air quality improvement targets, with the average concentration of PM2.5 down 14.9% year on year and the number of heavy pollution days down 39% year on year. Between blue water and blue sky, people enjoy the beauty of nature, life and life.
The construction of ecological civilization is a millennium plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and pollution prevention and control is one of the three key battles to win in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions on adjusting transportation structure and increasing railway freight volume at important meetings of the Central Committee. In 2018, the State Council issued the three-year action plan to win the blue sky defense war. The railway resolutely implements the spirit of the important instructions and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the decision-making and deployment of the central government, plays a key role in the comprehensive transportation system, actively adjusts the transportation structure, develops the green transportation system, and substantially improves the proportion of railway freight transportation.
This year is the end of the three-year action plan to win the blue sky defense war. On the road of building a beautiful China and realizing green and low-carbon development, the iron and Steel Dragon accelerated its running and contributed to winning the blue sky defense war.
Three consecutive increases in traffic volume, leading the way in serving the national strategy
At the dialogue meeting on increasing freight transport and revenue of the whole railway on May 16, the head of freight transport of each railway bureau group company highlighted the achievements, discussed problems and put forward suggestions, so as to provide suggestions for promoting freight increment. Such a TV dialogue meeting is held once a week in the whole railway, which has become a normalization system for the railway freight system to effectively promote the increase of transportation and income.
The railway has the comparative advantages of large transportation volume, low energy consumption, less emission and less pollution. Adjusting the transportation structure and increasing the railway transportation volume are of great significance to serve the high-quality development of the economy, to fight well against pollution, especially to win the blue sky defense war. In 2018, the railway implemented the 2018-2020 freight increment action plan, formulated a detailed timetable, roadmap and supporting measures, further improved transportation capacity, reduced logistics costs, optimized product supply, and ensured that the freight increment and transportation structure adjustment goals were achieved on schedule.
Traffic volume shows responsibility and performance boosts confidence. In 2019, China's railway freight volume reached 3.44 billion tons, up 7.8% year on year. For three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, it has achieved an annual growth of over 200 million tons, with a cumulative increase of 788 million tons and 29.7% in the national railway freight volume, of which 520 million tons will be added in 2018 and 2019, exceeding 71.46 million tons compared with the 450 million tons phase increase target set in the three-year action plan for freight increase.
Adjust the transportation structure, promote the increase of freight transportation and income, and make the railway fast and steady.
In the second quarter of 2019, the whole road carried out the key activities of increasing freight transportation, and achieved a substantial increase in freight transportation in the off-season. In the fourth quarter of that year, in order to complete the "six stability" work and ensure the completion of the annual transportation operation goal, the Party group of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. deployed to carry out the "Three Guarantees and three increases" battle, issued a series of potential tapping measures and incentive policies, the average daily loading of the whole road exceeded 160000 vehicles for the first time, and the single day loading exceeded 170000 vehicles for the first time, setting off a new climax of freight incremental action.
Since this year, the railway has actively overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic, and while fully focusing on the prevention and control of the epidemic, it has vigorously promoted the work of increasing freight transport and income, and helped the enterprises return to work in an orderly manner. Focusing on the target task of "five guarantees and five actual results", the railway implemented the policy of stabilizing goods and replenishing customers, strengthening freight organization, optimizing product supply, implementing the policy of tax reduction and fee reduction, unblocking the logistics supply chain, and made a positive contribution to the solid work of "six stability" and the full implementation of the task of "six guarantees".
According to the data, in the first quarter of this year, 823.96 million tons of goods were sent by the state railway, an increase of 3.1% year on year. In April, the main ports along the coast dredged ore and China Europe train transportation volume showed outstanding performance, and the national railway cargo delivery volume increased steadily, with a year-on-year increase of 540000 tons or 0.2%.
Carry out the "public to railway" strategy, and strengthen the determination and confidence to win the blue sky defense war
On the morning of March 14, a special train of 50 vehicles, full of 100 containers and 3200 tons of aggregate slowly drove into Beijing dahongmen freight yard, marking the opening of the "public to rail" special train for Tailings Resources in Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province. Yang Xianjun, Fengning County mayor, said happily: "the opening of the green channel of" public to railway "is another important practice of the coordinated development strategy of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. It not only makes Fengning idle high-quality sand and stone materials have a place of use, ensures the demand of Beijing construction market, but also promotes the economic development and poverty alleviation of the whole county."
The implementation of "public to rail" transportation is an important measure for the railway to actively adjust the transportation structure, promote the implementation of freight increment and help win the blue sky defense war. Strive for "iron to iron" for electric coal, "iron to iron" for non electric coal goods such as metallurgy, chemical industry, cement, building materials, etc., guide "iron to iron" for smelting materials, strive for the implementation of "iron to iron" policy for sand and stone materials as soon as possible, and guide "iron to iron" for import and export goods - in order to make the sky bluer and water clearer, the railway people do their best.
At the beginning of April, through one-to-one marketing, Jining Zhonglian Cement Co., Ltd. transferred all the sand and stone materials originally transported by road to Dingtao area to railway transportation. China Railway Jinan Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has actively allocated box sources, implemented the shift operation to ensure the timeliness of transportation. The head of the cement company gratefully said: "the railway service is considerate, which is really for the sake of our enterprise. Affected by the epidemic in the early stage, our transportation performance is not ideal. But since April, we have increased the traffic volume of sand and stone railway, not only making up for the contract debts before March, but also exceeding the contract plan by 21%. "
Since this year, the railway has consolidated and adhered to the normalized communication and consultation mechanism with local governments and key enterprises for the adjustment of transportation structure. The goal and task of "transfer of public railway" in 2020 in this province has been broken down to all regions and enterprises. A joint meeting has been held every month to summarize the work progress, report the existing problems, formulate solutions, and form a strong joint force for "transfer of public railway" transportation.
On April 17, the general office of the Ministry of transport forwarded a notice of the financial department of the Department of transport of Jiangsu Province on printing and distributing the subsidy scheme for the adjustment of transport structure of Jiangsu Province. All railway bureaus and groups seize the favorable opportunity to take the initiative in docking, and coordinate with local governments to increase the subsidy of "public to rail".
Strive for local policy support, flexibly use price strategy, accurately implement the terminal marketing, "one enterprise, one policy" to formulate transportation plan, reduce the whole logistics cost, and accelerate the construction of special railway lines Many carriages are running hand in hand, which has won the increment of "transit railway". Behind this increment is the railway's firm determination to bear in mind its political responsibility and win the blue sky defense war. From 2018 to the end of 2019, compared with the same freight volume completed by highway, the increased freight volume of railway freight will save 3.8 million tons of standard coal and 9.34 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Promoting multimodal transport and promoting high quality development of railway container transport
A few days ago, tens of thousands of open top boxes covered the bulk cargo handling stations in South, North and Hami, and the freight consolidation proportion of China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd. increased from 36% to 51%. We will deepen the implementation of the project of "bulk to integrated", so that they will take the lead in freight increment.
In recent two years, with the continuous change of railway cargo source structure, the container transportation mainly composed of 35 ton open top containers has developed rapidly, which effectively meets the market demand of "public to rail" and "bulk to aggregate". The railway gives full play to the unique advantages of open top containers, accurately grasps the principle of "suitable for cars, suitable for boxes, two-way development and complementary advantages", and actively develops new markets through containers while ensuring the basic goods source and railway benefits. In 2019, the open top box achieved an increase of 61 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 69%, and contributed 26% to the increase of the whole road.
At about 11:00 on April 15, with the "first box of railway through mountain port station" lifted and unloaded steadily from Huzhou Ningbo Zhoushan port sea rail combined transport train, the through mountain port became the third port area with sea rail combined transport operation capacity in Ningbo Zhoushan port. Zhoushan port of Ningbo, located on the coast of the East China Sea, ranks first in the world in terms of cargo throughput for 10 consecutive years. At present, Ningbo Zhoushan port has opened 17 sea rail intermodal routes, covering 15 provinces, regions and 49 prefecture level cities.
The railway fully understands the objective trend of future freight transportation to containerization, actively adapts to the economic transformation and upgrading, while stabilizing the bulk cargo transportation, pays more attention to the development of container transportation, and speeds up the integration and development with other transportation modes. Public rail transportation, sea rail transportation, river rail transportation and international transportation have become important engines for the railway to improve the development quality of container transportation 。 In the first four months of this year, the China Europe train, the new passage train and the riverside train totaled 3833, up 11% year on year.
China Railway Group formulates "on vigorously developing railway container transportation" Fully integrate into the implementation opinions of the multimodal transport system, and further promote the development of multimodal transport. Since this year, we have organized the purchase of 10000 dual-purpose flat cars and 100000 containers, added 208 container handling stations, developed container handling machinery and new energy lithium battery cold storage containers for small and medium-sized freight yards, and built "railway container + self-contained container", "general container + special container", "international container + inland container" A complete equipment system.
More than that, there are still many key points of the railway - actively improving the product system, promoting the open top box "scattered to integrated" transportation, and developing green logistics; implementing yard mutual use, organizing the construction of 63 trackless stations, and building inland dry port together with the port; through the implementation of market-oriented stacking fees, signing a stacking agreement with the shipping company, setting up a shipping box returning point; promoting the joint use of container sources Actively attract self provided containers to go on the road, vigorously develop the outbound and launching business of railway containers, and build 86 container return points in 18 countries; organize the construction of automatic container stations, promote the pilot of sharing trailers to land in Yiwu west station; build a multimodal transport data exchange platform, which has achieved EDI data exchange with 26 ports.
As of May 14, this year, 135 million tons of national railway containers have been delivered, up 27.3% year on year, of which 75.33 million tons of open top containers have been delivered, up 72.1% year on year.
Stable coal transportation and heavy load passage are worthy of people's expectation
Since April, the liaison officer of China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group Co., Ltd. in Shaanxi coal industry and Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. has regularly reported the resumption of production and the consumption of coal storage in the downstream business power plant of Shaanxi coal group every day, providing the first-hand information for the railway to reasonably adjust the transportation strategy. Members of the group led a team to visit the freight owners of Inner Mongolia Mengtai coal and Power Group Co., Ltd. and State Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd. to investigate the freight rate and the short-term reverse price of automobile transportation, and strive to make good use of the advantages of Haoji's traffic flow and billing path to promote the freight volume of Haoji railway.
On September 28 last year, a new energy transport corridor, the Haoji railway, was added to the railway map of China. More than half a year has passed, and this large North coal South transportation channel connecting multiple coal collection and distribution lines and iron water combined transportation has met the expectations of the public. With its strength, it has proved its important role in expanding the coal "public to rail" transportation volume, helping to fight the key battle of pollution prevention and control, winning the blue sky defense war, and promoting the coordinated development of regional economy and society. As of April, the accumulated traffic volume of Haoji railway is 9.96 million tons.
In order to stabilize the coal transportation, at the beginning of this year, the railway started to organize all railway bureaus and group companies to connect with the main coal supply and demand enterprises in charge in a timely manner, signed the annual medium and long-term coal contracts and transportation volume mutual insurance agreements, established and improved the standing book, followed the enterprise by enterprise, and organized the implementation according to the schedule. At the same time, the railway deploys and optimizes the coal transportation system, makes full use of the new channel capacity of Haoji railway, reconstructs the collection and distribution system of the west east coal transportation and the North South coal transportation, and optimizes the coal transportation pattern of the whole road: stabilize the water transportation volume of the west east coal transportation of Daqin, Tanghu and Wari lines; the Haoji railway focuses on the Jingshen, Xinshang and Dongwu lines and the newly opened collection and distribution projects, and comprehensively uses the transportation capacity and transportation Price measures should be taken to improve efficiency, innovate mechanism and ensure the realization of increment; focus on the demand of Shaanxi coal transportation, Xinjiang coal transportation and "public to railway" to do a good job of direct coal transportation.
Compared with the vigorous Haoji railway, the Datong Qinhuangdao railway, as the "big brother" of the west to east coal transportation, is more profound and introverted. From internal potential tapping and efficiency improving to capacity expansion and reconstruction construction, from fighting against rain and snow freezing disaster to rush to transport electricity and coal for peak summer, from incremental freight operations to win the blue sky defense war, Daqin Railway always takes serving national strategy and national economy and people's livelihood as its own duty. Over the past 30 years of operation, the coal transportation volume of Daqin Railway has continued to expand. By compressing the interval time of trains and opening 10000 tons and 20000 tons of heavy-duty trains, the daily average transportation volume has been kept at 1.3 million tons, which is equivalent to reducing the air pollution caused by about 43000 30 tons coal trucks every day.
In recent years, adhering to the concept of green development, the railway has set up 74 dust suppression stations on the Daqin Railway to carry out comprehensive dust suppression operations, effectively curb air pollution, and ensure that the Daqin Railway is moving towards the ecological line and environmental protection line while the traffic volume is increasing.
Good ecological environment has become the growth point of people's happy life and the support point of sustainable and healthy economic and social development. Railway Freight shows the backbone responsibility and makes continuous contribution to the construction of a beautiful China.
