China News Service, Zhengzhou, October 28 (Liu Peng, Yang Zhen) Every September and October are critical periods for the intensive harvesting and external transportation of autumn grain in Henan, a major agricultural province. In order to seize the important period of autumn grain transportation, the railway department actively allocates transportation capacity, opens up the autumn grain transportation logistics chain, allows grain to travel smoothly and quickly, and makes every effort to ensure smooth grain transportation.
Stations such as Xinxiang, Qiliying and Yanjin in Henan are key stations for autumn grain shipments. In order to ensure the demand for autumn grain transportation, the Zhengzhou Railway Logistics Center organized personnel to visit grain depots, grain processing, feed, and brewing enterprises, establish a dynamic transportation ledger, keep a close eye on the total shipment volume, transportation rhythm, and cargo flow, study and judge market trends, and strengthen the transportation capacity allocation organization.
"Faced with the fact that autumn grains are shipped intensively and have high timeliness requirements, we use the 'two-day loading plan' to optimize the transportation capacity organization, connect with key grain processing enterprises within the management, grasp the company's production, inventory, and shipping plans, and implement 'one-on-one' coordination services to ensure the smooth connection of loading operations." Li Fang, manager of the marketing department of Zhengzhou Railway Logistics Center, said.
In order to open up the terminal link of transportation, the sales departments of Zhengzhou Railway Logistics Center, including Xinxiang and Shangqiu Dongming, went deep into the grain purchasing points to find out the customer base, implemented "one enterprise, one form, one report", and promptly opened a green channel for autumn grain transportation for key enterprises and cargo owners in need to ensure adequate supply of transportation capacity. At the same time, a daily statistics and daily analysis mechanism is implemented to sort out unloaded orders in a timely manner, strengthen the allocation of empty trucks, open up all links of loading and external transportation, and help the efficient connection of local grain production and marketing.
"The railway transportation volume is large and stable. Relying on the railway channel, the efficiency of our autumn grain transportation has been significantly improved compared with previous years, and the inventory turnover speed has been greatly accelerated." said the person in charge of Zhengzhou Chengjun Cargo Transportation Co., Ltd.
Autumn grain must not only be "packable and transportable", but also "run fast and walk steadily". In the dispatching hall of Zhengzhou North Railway Station, the frequency of corn, wheat flour, soybeans and other grain product names appearing on the dispatching screen has increased significantly.
"There are 30,043 northbound trains, and there are 20 corn and wheat flour vehicles on board. Please dispatch the downbound station dispatchers to prioritize dismantling and marshalling operations and reserve stock lanes." In the dispatch command center of Zhengzhou North Station, joint control instructions to prioritize grain trucks are continuously issued.
It is understood that since September, the number of grain vehicles at Zhengzhou North Railway Station has increased by 20% compared to normal. The station receives an average of 2,500 grain trucks per day, organized into 45 trains, and more than 160,000 tons of grain are transferred and transported here every day.
Pei Hao, director of the dispatching workshop of Zhengzhou North Railway Station, said that the station dynamically adjusts its operation organization to closely follow the rhythm of the farming season, and quickly connects, dispatches, and dispatches key trains such as autumn grain transportation to minimize transfer time and ensure rapid departure of trains.
From the loading line of the freight yard to the dispatching desk of the marshalling hub, Zhengzhou Railway Department's front and rear departments are closely linked, link by link, to build an efficient autumn grain railway transportation network. According to statistics, since September this year, Zhengzhou Railway Logistics Center has shipped a total of 12,056 vehicles and 760,800 tons of autumn grain, a year-on-year increase of 58.3% and 62.6% respectively. The autumn grain transportation volume has increased significantly.
