In the early morning of July 7, a "Golden Thai 999" rotation with 14,900 tons of iron ore arrived in Fujian Wharf. As of the reporter's telephone interview at 2 pm, the round was unloading directly at Fujian Pier. "It's too timely, this ship iron ore powder resolves the risk of the shortage of raw materials for our steel plant." Said the relevant person in charge of the owner CITIC Metal Co., Ltd.

Just a few days ago, with the first hook cargo on the front hook of Qingdao Qianwan Port Pier to enter the belt smoothly, the "Sea Lion" wheel and the "Jintai 999" wheel officially "held hands" to achieve "direct ship transfer", In just one day, it helped the company to complete the transshipment of the second boat.

Imported iron ore transferred directly from one ship to another without uninstalled to the yard. Through this "ship transfer", the loading and unloading cycle of at least 6 days was needed. Now it only takes a day to only one day. Completed, for enterprises, it means a significant reduction in costs. More importantly, it has won valuable "grabbing" time to solve the problem of raw materials shortage.

Affected by the domestic and foreign epidemics, it can ensure the smooth flow of logistics channels. Whether imported iron ore raw materials can be transferred quickly and whether the shortage of raw materials can be overcome is the prerequisite for steel companies to ensure continuous and stable production.

Against this background, the new model of imported mineral products "shipping directly" came out. It is understood that this is an important institutional innovation content of the Qingdao area of ​​China (Shandong) Free Trade Zone. It is an important measure for Qingdao Customs to help Qingdao Port to build a commodity distribution base in Northeast Asia, enhance the function of ports, and give full play to the cluster effect.

"Help" iron ore powder

Affected by the recent fog weather, CITIC Metal Co., Ltd. has a "sea lion" wheel with a 90,000 -ton iron ore powder. "Fujian's steel factory has faced the risk of discontinued production and discontinuation due to the tight iron ore powder inventory. Arrive at Qianwan Port in Qingdao, and plan to load 14,900 tons of iron ore powder to Fujian to solve the urgent need of our Fujian Steel Factory. "The person in charge of CITIC Metal Co., Ltd. said that if the progress of the ship is checked by normal shiplinks, the two -way ship is waiting for After the ship is loaded, a large stagnation fee will be incurred. At present, the company's steel sales profits are in a state of losing money, and the large amount of stagnation fee will have an additional burden on the company's production and operation. On July 1, CITIC Metal Co., Ltd. explained the difficulties facing the company's current facing with a helping application.

Zhang Cheng, deputy chief of the three deputy sections of Huangdao Customs Investigation and Inspection, introduced that after receiving the help of the enterprise, Huangdao Customs immediately took action to jointly study how to run with time with Qingdao Port. After in -depth sorting out cargo declaration, inspection and inspection, and Hong Kong operating processes, etc., after repeated communication and demonstration, it tailored the "ship direct transfer" operation model for the enterprise.

Zhang Cheng, deputy department chief of the three departments of Huangdao Customs Investigation and Inspection,

"As we all know, the steelmaking plant is easy to stop working. The normal production temperature required for steelmaking is above 1000 ° C. Because the cost of the furnace of the blast furnace is very high, only the furnace fails or the market conditions are very poor. Therefore, steel mills are very concerned about the continuity of raw materials. "Zhang Cheng said.

"In the past, the cargo started from the shiplift, and then it took at least 6 days after inspection, customs clearance, preparation, ship loading, and departure." Zhang Cheng introduced that traditional transit operations need to be transported through the belt process to temporarily store the yard to temporarily store the field. The customs first completed the inspection operation, and after the loading ship came, the cargo was loaded through the belt process. And "ship transfer" can be installed directly from unloading ships to loading ships. There is no need to pass the stacking or mechanical transfer in the middle. The entire process can be compressed to 1 day. Greatly reduce the stacking cycle of the goods. On July 2nd, in just one day, the "Sea Lion" round completed the cargo moving with the "Jindai 999" wheel.

"Thanks to Huangdao Customs for solving difficulties for the company. For our enterprise, time is money, reducing loading and unloading time, which directly improves our operating efficiency, and has solved the difficulty of raw materials for our steel plant." The relevant person in charge of CITIC Metal Co., Ltd. said.

"Put it first and then check" to "Direct Transfer of the Boat"

The connection of production and consumption in the logistics industry plays a pivotal role in promoting the circulation of factors and stabilizing the market economy. In response to the poor logistics transportation under the epidemic, Huangdao Customs actively cooperated with the comprehensive insurance area management committee to unite Qingdao Port's innovative cargo transportation model for enterprises. For difficulties. This time the imported mineral product "Boat Direct Transfer" operating model is one of the institutional innovations.

In addition to the "direct rotation of the boat", in order to further deepen the reform of trade and optimize the business environment of the port. In the past two years, under the premise of ensuring the inspection and inspection work, Huangdao Customs refined the application scene of "putting on the first inspection", and also explored many model innovation.

"'First check and then inspection' refers to allowing imported mineral products to be radioactive inspection in advance, foreign mixed quarantine, number of weight appraisal, appearance inspection, and no abnormal screening of solid waste risks After the sampling ', the goods can be left away from the customs supervision workplace. "Zhang Cheng introduced that in addition to the" direct transfer of the ship ", there are also new models such as" ship iron direct transfer ". Applicable scenarios have improved the traditional transportation mode and greatly saved the efficiency of the pier stove space and the operational efficiency of the enterprise. "When our ship chooses to stop at the Qingdao port, we can fully feel the convenience of picking up the goods picking in Qingdao Port." Zhang Tao, assistant general manager of Shandong Taishan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., said that these models of Qingdao are quite innovative in the country. Essence

It is understood that as early as September last year, at the 200,000 -ton ore pier of the former Hong Kong company, Qingdao Free Trade Zone, Huangdao Customs, and Qingdao Port Shandong Port jointly launched the establishment of the district Guangang Joint Innovation Laboratory. At the ceremony, a new model of operations such as "Ship Rotation" debuted for the first time.

In addition, the Qingdao Free Trade Zone, Huangdao Customs, and Qingdao Gangtong, Gangkou, Shandong, have promoted new formats such as crude oil blending and crude oil futures delivery. The innovative achievements of customs supervision, full -time inspection, and "water transfer intelligence management system" have been promoted to continuously improve the degree of convenience of port clearance, which has provided great help for the deepening reform of the Qingdao area, expanding opening up, and promoting regional economic development.

The innovation driving force behind the first growth rate

According to reports, Huangdao Port is an important national bulk goods distribution center in the country. Under the epidemic, on the basis of strictly doing the prevention and control of the port epidemic, Huangdao Customs has continuously promoted various reforms and innovations, allowing enterprises to enjoy more reform and innovation dividends, and promote the stability of foreign trade.

"Standing from the perspective of an enterprise, the problem is that Huangdao Customs promotes the innovation environment to a deeper level, promotes reform and innovation in depth, optimizes the business environment of the port, and better serves Qingdao to build a global marine central city." Zhang Cheng introduce.

For enterprises, the most direct is to greatly reduce costs, and this also directly enhances the competitiveness of ports. Taking a "ship iron direct transfer" model of a 200,000 -ton -level imported mineral product, a single ship can save 10,000 square meters of yard for ports, reduce the car loading operation of 2 days, and save more than 800,000 yuan. It is expected to save more than 1,400 million yuan in comprehensive costs for Qingdao Port each year; if you calculate in the "ship iron direct" model, you can load the car during the unloading process of imported mineral products, which will greatly save the cost and wait time for imported ore companies. At the same time The improvement of loading and unloading efficiency has reduced problems such as ship closing periods. It is expected to save more than RMB 24 million for imported ore companies each year.

It can be said that as the new model refines the scope of business scenarios, it has opened up the isolation barrier between shipping and land transportation, shipping, and sea transportation, and attracts the cargo along the yellow basin and the "Belt and Road". The industry competitiveness of the port; at the same time, the new model effectively improves the efficiency of freight logistics in the section and land transportation links, saves the waiting time for downstream manufacturing companies, and avoids the capacity of production capacity caused by the supply chain problem caused by the impact of the epidemic. Improve the overall utilization efficiency of production capacity.

According to statistics from Qingdao Customs, from 1st to May in 2022, the foreign trade import and export of Shandong Province was 1.27 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.3%year-on-year. Among them, Shandong's exports were 757.25 billion yuan, an increase of 26.8%; imports were 512.78 billion yuan, an increase of 5.6%. It is worth mentioning that in the export growth rate of major foreign trade provinces and cities in my country, Shandong ranks first.

"In the next step, we will continue to promote the upgrade of the model in conjunction with the actual port of the port, and refine specific operation and promotion measures to form operating specifications. And promote promotion at more docks to better serve steel production enterprises." Zhang Cheng said.
