After 10 months of hard work, as of April 21, 2022, the eight batches of the 8 batches of the city railway project on the 10th city railway project of Egypt have all arrived at the Cairo project vehicle section and successfully landed. This task was from China Railway Two The Logistics bidding section (hereinafter referred to as the "logistics bidding section") jointly established by the construction and development limited liability company and the international personnel of AVIC was implemented.

By April 21, 2022, all the 22 urban railway trains for the 10th of Ramadan Railway Project in Egypt were transported to the construction site of the rolling stock section in eight batches and put on tracks in Cairo. The whole task took 10 months of hard work in total and was undertaken by the logistics bid section team of the 10th of Ramadan Railway Project in Egypt co-organized by China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (CREEC) (Chengdu) Construction and Development Co., Ltd. and Avic International Holding Corporation (Avic Intl).

The time for the manufacturing, transportation, and arrival of locomotives and vehicles has always attracted the attention of the owners and the consortium project department. In view of the complexity of the project's supplies, the large volume, and the various transportation methods, the logistics bidding team has continuously enhanced the staffing of personnel since the second half of 2020 has received the task, sorting out the operation specifications and processes of the import and export reporting and clearing the customs. Features, ensure that single consistency, document consistency, and unit consistency.

The production, transportation, and arrival time of the trains got a lot of attention from the project owner and the Project Department of the consortium. The materials for the project were characterized by various types, large volumes, and diverse modes of transportation. Since the task was assigned to the logistics bid section team in the second half of 2020, it had increased staffing levels, sorted out specifications and procedures for import and export customs declaration and clearance operations, and learned about the physical properties of the project's electromechanical equipment. By Doing so, it managed to entSure that documents complied with element, bills complied with documents, and documents complied with cargoes.

In just one and a half years, the logistics bid section team completed 226 votes and 71 batches of maritime supplies, with more than 40,000 cubic cubic cubic cubic meters of loose groceries; more than 80 batches of air transportation.

Within only one year and a half, 226 bills of materials in 71 shipments and more than 40,000 cubic meters of bulk cargoes were transported by sea, and more than 80 shipments of materials were transported by air.面对埃铁项目紧张的工期和The unprecedented densely shipped batches, and the logistics bidding team was upright and calm. Before the first batch of materials of the project, the logistics bid section team repeatedly confirmed the manufacturer's delivery list.

Despite the tight construction schedule of the project and the unprecedentedly intensive delivery batches, the team worked closely and steadily. Before the first batch of materials was transported, it confirmed the shipping lists with the manufacturers again and again. In the meanwhile, it sent four Groups of Personnel to Inspect Factories and Choose Suitable Containers and Cargo Spaces According to the Materials and the Lists.

During the domestic transportation stage, the division of labor in various links is clear. The logistics bidding team strictly controls the manufacturer's material sea transportation packaging, port time, basic parameter capture, customs declaration document production and review. In the face of cross -professional material types, on the one hand, the professional engineers of China Railway Second Hospital are required to conduct "popular science", especially during the teaching of weak electricity engineers to grasp the important information required for the reporting elements;

During the domestic transportation stage, the team ensured that manufacturers carried out active and rigorous work related to packaging, time of cargo concentration in port, getting basic parameters, and producing and reviewing customs declaration documents for materials to be transported by sea. For the types of materials that involved disciplines its people didn't know, it consulted specialist engineers of CREEC and obtained the important information needed for declaration elements when the engineers, especially those on weak current, gave lectures; it also looked for export information on similar materials from Multiple Sources.

The first batch of materials arrived at the site warehouse

In response to the physical characteristics of the first batch of weak electricity equipment and strong professionalism in the project, while consulting the relevant professional engineers of the China Railway Second Hospital, the logistics bidding section team carefully studied the policy and regulations of the State Customs Administration, and found the entry point. On December 24, 2020, the first batch of materials finally cleared in Shanghai Yangshanguan District.

For the problems that involved expertise about the weak current equipment in the first batch of materials, for example, complicated physical properties and working principles, it consulted related specialist engineers of CREEC and also studied the policies and regulations issued by the General Administration of Customs of The people's republic of China. On December 24, 2020, The First Batch of Materials SUCCESSFULESFULLLLLLED at the Yangshan Port In Shanghai. From the arrival of supplies to the scene, the logistics bid section team understands the cases of the Egyptian logistics industry and the import and export case of similar materials, and combined with the characteristics of the project itself and the characteristics of the project, quickly determine the value -added tax required by the customs clearance process, the efficiency of the owner's work, the inland inland work efficiency, the inland work efficiency, and the inland customs clearance process. Transport time, on -site unloading capacity, storage conditions and security information.

The domestic transportation stage was followed by the customs clearance work in Egypt. When the materials arrived at Egypt, the logistics bid section team started to collect information about the regulations of Egypt's logistics industry and the export and import cases for similar materials from multiple sources. In the meanwhile, based on the project's structure and model characteristics, it also managed to obtain information in a short time about tariff and VAT needed to pay for customs clearance, work efficiency of the project owner, overland transportation time, on-site unloading abilities , Warehouseing Conditions, and Security.

For the 5 container's weak electricity professional materials worth renminbi with a value of RMB 200 million, the logistics bid section team arranges a special car for escorting to ensure that the supplies are safely transported to the warehouse, and the owners of related professional materials are actively cooperating with the acceptance of relevant professional materials.

As the five containers of special materials for week current were valued at 200 million yuan, it had them transported under the escort of the designated persons to ensure their safe arrival in the warehouse and cooperated closely with the project owner to complete the acceptance of these materials Then, then, then
