First dry port set up in Inner Mongolia www.sxcoal.com
Northern China's leading coal base Inner Mongolia embraced its first dry port on September 7, local media reported, marking the inland region obtains a sea-rail intermodal transport channel from this time on.
A dry port (sometimes inland port) is an inland intermodal terminal directly connected by road or rail to a seaport and operating as a center for the transshipment of sea cargoes.
Located at Ordos Xinjuyuan Industry Chemical Company and co-built by China's large seaborne Tangshan port, the inland port can speed up customs clearance and reduce container handlings for coal cargoes from Inner Mongolia to the Bohai Rim port.
It's expected that Inner Mongolian coal cargoes can save three days to Tangshan port through the original route, and freight cost can be lowered by about 8 yuan/t.
Ordos Xinjuyuan Industry Chemical Company, invested by Inner Mongolia Tiexin Coal Chemical Group Co., Ltd. under Hohhot Railway Administration, is the largest coal transport company along Baoxi railway (Baotou-Xi'an), owing the biggest enclosed coal warehouse in Northwestern China, which can pile up 700,000 tonnes at most.
