Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Railway") announced on the 5th that in November, the national railway system transported a total of 184 million tons of coal, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%, of which 128 million tons were for power generation, maintaining a high level and effectively guaranteeing the coal demand for heating and power generation in various regions during the winter.
As of the end of November, the national railway-powered power plants had 88.23 million tons of coal in stock, enough for 35.8 days of consumption, an increase of 1 day year-on-year. Power plants with less than 15 days of coal stock have achieved dynamic zeroing.
In November, some regions experienced cold waves, strong winds, and temperature drops, leading to a continued increase in coal consumption. China Railway made good use of the main railway corridors for transporting coal from north to south and from west to east, such as the Daqin, Tangbao, Wari, and Haoji lines, and vigorously operated 10,000-ton heavy-haul trains and cross-railway group company direct coal freight trains. In November, the Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway transported 37.22 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.8%; the Tangshan-Baotou Railway transported 11.49 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 22.7%; the Wari Railway transported 13.4 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.5%; and the Haoji Railway transported 10.43 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%.
To achieve precise point-to-point supply, the railway department promptly grasped the coal consumption and inventory situation of key regions and major power plants. Targeting the coal transportation needs of some power plants in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Shandong, and Henan, 37 supply guarantee dispatch orders were issued. In addition, the railway department leveraged its role in coordinating production, transportation, and demand, ensuring the fulfillment of signed medium- and long-term coal contracts and further improving the level of fulfillment of these contracts.
