23 forklifts shuttled back and forth, and the crane arms rose and fell at a certain degree, continuously loading bags of white fertilizer-grade potassium chloride weighing 2 tons into the railway boxcars.
Every year, the potash fertilizer materials transported through the Sky Road account for about 1/5 of the total transportation volume of China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group Co., Ltd.
At noon on June 13, a strong wind blew in the Qarhan Salt Lake mining area. In the dedicated railway freight yard of China Salt Lake Industry Group Co., Ltd., the potash fertilizer freight operation was operating efficiently. On average, a full wagon is ready in less than 40 minutes.
For many years, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been the basis for our company to stabilize production, expand markets, and seek development. It is the most solid basis and the strongest support for the companys high-quality development! Looking at the orderly operation scene in front of him, La Haibin, the safety director of Qinghai Salt Lake Zhiyun Logistics Co., Ltd., spoke with certainty.
Potassium fertilizer is known as the grain of grain and is an important agricultural input to ensure agricultural production and stabilize food security.
Today we plan to ship 120 trucks of fertilizer-grade potassium chloride, with a total transportation volume of more than 7,000 tons, all of which will be sent to Shanghai, Henan and other places to fully ensure the summer agricultural supplies reserves and agricultural production supply in various places. Zhang Junlin, deputy director of the potassium product freight workshop of Yanhu Zhiyun Logistics, said as he glanced at the busy operation site.
More than 7,000 tons, what is the concept? Zhang Junlin said: If it is pulled by a truck with a load of 30 tons, it will take more than 230 trucks to line up and stretch for several kilometers. However, relying on railway transportation, only 120 wagons can be grouped together and integrated to complete the batch transportation efficiently.
As the freight sales department with the largest volume of potassium fertilizer shipments along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Chaerhan Railway Logistics Sales Department has been deeply involved in road-enterprise collaboration for many years, and has worked hand in hand with Yanhu Zhiyun Logistics to achieve win-win cooperation.
Li Zenggang, manager of the Qarhan Railway Logistics Sales Department, said: Since the opening of the Gela section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the empty car body resources for the return trip to Lhasa have been maximized and utilized. While ensuring the eastward transportation of potash fertilizer, it has also built a convenient and efficient transportation channel for living materials, cement, steel and other materials entering Tibet.
In recent years, in order to accurately adapt to the companys production and sales rhythm, break up logistics and transportation congestion, and solve freight service problems, the Qarhan Railway Logistics Sales Department has proactively transformed its service model and customized a full-process, one-stop door-to-door freight and considerate service.
The sales department regularly arranges 8 professional railway staff to be on duty on site, taking root in the front line of operations, following up and guiding cargo loading and unloading, standardizing operating procedures, controlling transportation safety, and ensuring the standardization and standardization of freight operations from the source.
After the full opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the transportation capacity is more guaranteed. At present, more than 90% of the products of Qinghai Salt Lake Industrial Co., Ltd., which China Salt Lake belongs to, are transported by rail. This line is our lifeline! Wu Lifeng, director of the Salt Lake Smart Logistics Dispatching Command Center, said that in 2025, they will ship more than 4 million tons of goods through the railway, with the highest number of departures in a single day reaching 350 vehicles.
With the opening of Dungege Railway and Geku Railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railways transportation capacity has been further released. The improvement and upgrading of the railway network has solved many problems for enterprises to develop remote markets.
Previously, potassium chloride products sent from China Salt Lake to the Xinjiang market relied on road transportation, which was costly and took a long time. Now we rely on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to connect the Geku Railway to open up a new transportation channel and successfully open up the Xinjiang market. La Haibin said in a brisk and confident tone.
From a single line to a road network, the Plateau Railway has been iteratively upgraded, constantly breaking geographical limitations and paving a wider thoroughfare for the export of corporate products.
The gaze extends to the thousands of miles of snow-covered Tianlu. Along the Golmud, Nagqu, Lhasa West and other lines, the rails of the freight yards stretch, the wheels roll, and vigorous development vitality is surging everywhere.
