Carry out logistics general contracting to ensure smooth transportation of goods; Pilot the "one order system" to improve the efficiency of goods turnover; Promoting freight loan products and reducing enterprise financing costs... Since the beginning of this year, the market-oriented reform of railway freight transportation has continued to deepen, and the construction of modern railway logistics system has been accelerated, reducing social logistics costs by more than 48 billion yuan. Railway freight transportation has shown a good trend of both quantity and quality improvement. Railway transportation has the characteristics of large capacity, low cost, and green and low-carbon. Since the beginning of this year, China Railway Group has continued to deepen the market-oriented reform of railway freight transportation, accelerate the construction of modern railway logistics system, establish 40 railway logistics centers, and establish a more sensitive and efficient pricing mechanism for the market. The volume of transportation with market-oriented floating prices accounts for 57.8% of the total transportation volume of China Railway... With the implementation of multiple measures, railway freight transportation has shown a good trend of both quantity and quality improvement. From January to October this year, the national railway freight volume reached 3.28 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.3%, setting a new historical high for the same period. Among them, container transportation volume increased by 12.9% year-on-year, and container intermodal transportation volume increased by 18.4% year-on-year, reducing social logistics costs by more than 48 billion yuan. Carrying out logistics general contracting, the railway department has transformed from a carrier to an enterprise logistics "planner". Carrying out logistics general contracting means that the railway department has transformed from a simple carrier to an enterprise logistics "planner", providing comprehensive services such as logistics, warehousing, finance, settlement, and information. This year, Baosteel Group signed a 31.5 million ton full logistics general contract with China Railway Hohhot Bureau Group Co., Ltd., entrusting the railway department to transport special steel materials such as coil steel and wire rods. After signing the logistics general contract, enterprises do not need to worry about all transportation links after the goods leave the factory, "said Zhang Bin, director of the marketing department of Baotou Railway Logistics Center. On October 1st, it is planned to send 318 tons of coil steel to North Tangxi As soon as they received the information, the customer service representative of Baotou Railway Logistics Center immediately contacted China Railway Express Company and dispatched a truck fleet to pick up the goods from the enterprise; At the same time, coordinate with the freight yard and make arrangements for shifts, vehicle inventory, and loading and unloading. At 9:00 on September 30th, the convoy arrived; At 14:00 on September 30th, the loading was completed; Arrived at the freight yard at 17:00 on September 30th; At 17:00 on October 2nd, the train departed... With the intelligent and efficient full-service system, the average dwell time of railway freight cars in Baosteel Group's factory has been reduced to 23.7 hours, which is significantly shorter than before. What benefits does the significant increase in workload from carriers to planners bring to the railway department? Signing a logistics general contract is beneficial for us to lock in the source of goods in advance and maintain smooth transportation Zhang Bin introduced that customers who sign logistics general contracts usually promise a certain monthly transportation volume, and the railway department will also provide corresponding price discounts to achieve a win-win situation. Data shows that since the project was launched, the railway department has shipped a total of 1.87 million tons of steel products, a year-on-year increase of 16%. Shanghai Bureau Group Company has tailored a logistics general contracting plan for Hefei photovoltaic glass manufacturing enterprises and customized the operation of "point-to-point" express trains; Urumqi Bureau Group Company implements "one-on-one" services with coal enterprises under its jurisdiction, signing logistics general contracts on a monthly basis to ensure the fulfillment of contracted transportation volume. This year, the completed transportation volume of coal from Xinjiang has exceeded 80 million tons... As of now, the railway department has signed a total of 530 million tons of logistics general contracts. In March of this year, a pilot "one document system" was launched, with one document, one settlement, and one container. The Tiehai Express train, loaded with 54 containers of starch goods, departed from Fujin Station in Heilongjiang, passed through Yingkou Port in Liaoning, and headed to Xinsha Port in Guangzhou. This is the first "one document system" Tiehai Express train to operate in the Northeast region. What is' one order system '? One order system "refers to the railway department coordinating the entire logistics process, achieving door-to-door transportation with one commission, one document, one settlement, and one box to the end. Previously, enterprises needed to contact railways, ports, shipping companies, and automobile transportation companies themselves to negotiate prices, hand over documents, change cargo loading, and short haul transportation. The procedures were cumbersome and inefficient Xu Junguo, director of Harbin Railway Logistics Center, introduced that the "one waybill system" is fully managed by the railway department, providing full chain services and achieving nationwide accessibility with one waybill. The implementation of 'one order system' cannot be separated from data sharing. To this end, Harbin Railway Logistics Center shares data with enterprises, connects data silos between different departments, and achieves seamless integration of train and liner scheduling. This measure has also been welcomed by ports and shipping companies Xu Junguo said that the large volume of railway freight trains has effectively shortened the collection time of shipping companies and reduced the storage time of goods at ports, resulting in a 40% increase in transportation efficiency. The shipper only needs to log in to the railway freight 95306 platform, and the entire transportation process can be tracked. At present, the "One Order System" Tiehai Express train in Heilongjiang Province operates at least one train per week, with goods mainly including starch, liquid sugar and other categories. The collection locations mainly include Harbin, Fujin, Suihua and other places, and are mainly transported to Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places through Yingkou Port. In Wuhan, Hubei, the "one unit system" iron and water intermodal train has become a good helper for the Three Gorges' "dam crossing" transportation. On September 29th, at Zhicheng Port in Hubei Province near the Three Gorges Dam, 5114 tons of loose copper tailings arrived by boat from Tongling Port in Anhui Province. After undergoing the "scattered to collected" operation, they took a train all the way west and headed towards Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei Province. This transportation is also a "one order system" service, provided by the railway department with full process control services, which solves the problems of cumbersome procedures for changing orders between different transportation modes and difficult sharing of transportation data. It only takes 3 days for water freight to bypass the Three Gorges by railway from here, and if queuing through the Three Gorges ship lock, the time will be longer Tan Yibing, the production director of Zhicheng Port, introduced that currently, the railway department is operating a two-way Yangtze River iron water intermodal train between Wuhan and Chengdu, helping to alleviate the problem of "difficult dam overturning" of goods downstream of the Yangtze River waterway, reducing the average transportation time by 7 days compared to waterway transportation and saving logistics costs by more than 30%. Since the beginning of this year, the Yangtze River rail sea intermodal trains running in both directions from Wuhan to Chengdu have completed over 800000 tons of dam crossing transportation, and are expected to transport nearly 1.2 million tons of various materials throughout the year. The Beijing Bureau Group Company has launched the "Port City Express" and built logistics fast channels from multiple inland cities to Tianjin Port. The steel transported from Shijiazhuang, Hebei to Tianjin Port has been shortened from 3 to 5 days to "half day delivery"; The Xi'an Bureau Group Company operates the "Silk Road E-commerce Express" from Xi'an, Shaanxi to Urumqi, Xinjiang on a daily basis, which improves the transportation efficiency of express e-commerce goods entering Xinjiang by about 12% and reduces the comprehensive logistics cost by about 10%... Currently, the "Express+Two end Highway" multi link express products have covered provincial capital cities, and the "Express+Shipping" rail sea express products have covered major ports. Promoting freight loans to alleviate financing difficulties and high financing costs for small and medium-sized enterprises is crucial for promoting railway freight transportation to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In response, the railway department has launched logistics financial services such as freight loans, letter of credit settlements, and railway document financing to help alleviate the financing difficulties and high costs of small and medium-sized enterprises. Fujian Mintie Logistics Co., Ltd. is a logistics company engaged in railway transportation agency, loading and unloading cooperation, pick-up and delivery, etc. The monthly transportation volume is about 300 TEUs, and the railway freight is about 200000 yuan. As a logistics company, we usually carry the goods first and then receive payment, but railway transportation requires payment first and then transportation Lin Huiming, the person in charge of Fujian Railway Logistics, said that this model of advance payment of funds and delayed return of profits has led to significant cash flow pressure for the company, making it difficult to expand its scale and seize the market. Starting from June 20th, China Railway Group will promote freight loan products and provide financial support for logistics enterprises. After learning the news, Fujian Railway Logistics immediately signed a railway freight loan agreement with Yong'an Branch of Fuzhou Railway Logistics Center and Sanming Branch of China Construction Bank. The whole process is handled online, from application, credit to loan disbursement, which only takes a few minutes, with high efficiency, few procedures, and is very convenient. "Lin Huiming said that the bank provided the company with a credit limit of 1.26 million yuan, with an annual interest rate much lower than traditional loans. The railway freight loan is provided with credit certificates by the railway department, without the need for enterprises to provide collateral, which can effectively solve the problems of difficult credit granting and complex approval processes for railway freight enterprises, and achieve a win-win situation for all parties Wei Zheng, the manager of Yong'an Business Department of Fuzhou Railway Logistics Center, said that banks have expanded new businesses, enterprises have improved their capital turnover efficiency, and railway departments can also attract freight enterprises through freight loans to boost railway freight volume. At present, freight loans have been promoted nationwide, with a total credit financing amount of 16.21 billion yuan. (New Society)
