On December 27, the No.48618 container train loaded with 1440 tonnes of milk slowly departed from Honghe Logistics Park. It traveled from Erdaohe Station of Xinshuo Railway to Datong East Station of China Railway, where the cargo will finally reach more than 40 cities and regions across China, marking that Xinshuo Railway has explored a new cargo category to its non-coal transportation business, further serving the development of the local economy and continue to promote the pilot project of the “One-container System” (the same container all way through the transportation) quality transportation route.
The milk transportation task marked the first time that Xinshuo Railway has transported fresh agricultural and seafood products. To complete this transportation task, Xinshuo Railway strictly implemented the standardized transportation requirements of CHN Energy, formulated the “Special Train for Milk Transportation” logistics plan, strengthened the supervision of the key links of “loading, transporting, and unloading”, and strictly controlled the food hygiene and safety standards. The Company took the lead in carrying out multi-provincial and cross-departmental multimodal milk transportation business with Datong Logistics Center of Taiyuan Railway Bureau, and formed logistics connectivity with six railway bureaus, including Shanghai Railway Bureau, Kunming Railway Bureau and Urumqi Railway Bureau, opening a “green lane” for milk transportation business. Furthermore, the Company shortened the operating time of key links including train technical inspection, commercial inspection, overloading and eccentric load control and loading organization, and ensured efficient train scheduling and operational planning, thus enabling efficient, seamless and orderly operations across all links.
The successful operation of the “Special Train for Milk Transportation” is the Company’s important initiative in responding to the call of logistics cost reduction for the society, in creating a large logistics corridor featuring multi-route, multi-station, strong connectivity, and high coverage, which is of great significance to constructing a large multimodal transportation logistic system, promoting the connectivity of goods of different locations, facilitating the coordinated development of the regional economies.
