📋 Tender Overview
On November 4, the X9660 container train fully loaded with high-quality ferrochrome departed from the Jiuyuan Logistics Park of Baotou Railway Logistics Center and bound for Tianjin Xingang. Since its launch on October 11, the train has transported a total of 11,000 tons of products, achieving normal operation of two trains per week, forming a win-win situation for road companies and laying a solid foundation for normalized and large-scale transportation of ferrochrome.
As a new channel connecting the ferrochrome production base in the central and western regions with the eastern seaport, the X9660/9659 train is a point-to-point direct train created by China Railway Hohhot Bureau Group Co., Ltd. to serve local economic and social development and optimize the logistics structure. This train adopts the five-fix model of fixed point, fixed route, fixed number of trains, fixed time, and fixed price to achieve precise control and efficient connection of cargo loading and unloading, injecting new impetus into the cost reduction and efficiency increase of the regional industrial chain and supply chain.
Ferrochromium is an important raw material for smelting stainless steel. In the past, such goods mostly relied on scattered transportation by road or railway, which caused problems such as high cost, slow aging, and poor stability. In order to solve this problem, Hohhot Bureau Group Company conducted market research to gain an in-depth understanding of the difficulties and pain points of local ferrochrome companies production capacity, inventory and transportation, studied the impact of changes in logistics methods on costs and efficiency, and worked with companies to formulate optimal solutions to provide customers with safe, efficient and economical full-chain services.
In order to give full play to the advantages of the train, Hohhot Bureau Group Corporation has built a high-quality two-way re-entry and return line of ore powder import + finished product export to improve the utilization rate and operational efficiency of the main channel while realizing modular transportation of bulk goods; the freight department provides full-process services from plan submission, empty truck deployment, loading organization to in-transit tracking, ensuring that the train has priority in emptying, priority in loading, and priority in shipment, continuously compressing the time in transit, and significantly reducing the companys comprehensive logistics costs.
