The article reports the important progress of Panjin Port's successful opening of the whole chain logistics channel of "Mengdong lignite-Railway-Panjin Port-Shipping. On April 12, this year's first "Mengmei launched" coal train successfully arrived in Hong Kong, marking the official completion of the channel. There are abundant lignite resources in eastern Mongolia, but there are some problems in the past, such as single channel, high cost and efficiency to be improved. Panjin Port took the initiative to start the project by virtue of its location advantage with the shortest land route from eastern Mongolia and the multimodal transport capacity of "public iron and water" to respond to the demand for north-south coal transportation and regional energy supply. In order to ensure the efficient operation of the project, Panjin Port has taken a number of measures: including sending special personnel to the source of goods in eastern Mongolia to connect with the railway hub in the whole process; In-depth coordination with the railway department on capacity guarantee and route planning; Make preparations for port storage, loading and unloading, transshipment and other supporting facilities in advance, optimize the operation process, and ensure efficient loading, unloading and transportation after coal arrives at the port. This breakthrough is of strategic significance for Panjin Port to undertake high-quality coal resources in eastern Mongolia and build a new channel for northeast energy to the sea.
