On the first day of National Day, the dawn was just breaking. At the wharf of the Fourth Port of Tianjin Port Co., LTD., a bustling scene unfolds - 120 dump trucks manufactured by Sany Heavy Industry have successfully completed their loading operations and are now on board the "Pyrenees" to head for countries along the Belt and Road. This cross-ocean vehicle transportation is not only a festive gift presented by "Made in China" and Chinese ports to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also a vivid practice of Tianjin Port's in-depth service to the "Belt and Road Initiative" and its promotion of deepened practical cooperation with Central American countries.
This batch of dump trucks will accelerate the construction of municipal engineering projects in relevant Central American countries. To ensure the timely dispatch of this batch of goods, the Fourth Company of Tianjin Port has provided us with three dispatch plans. By using general cargo ships for transportation, it has saved our company over 20% of the entire logistics cost. In terms of port services, it offers priority berthing, with the cargo ships arriving at the port three days in advance. "Completing the loading and unloading operations one day in advance enables our products to be delivered to customers more quickly." Li Xiang, the overseas product manager of the Engineering Vehicles Division of Sany Heavy Industry, introduced.
As the terminal company undertaking this loading and unloading task, Tianjin Port Fourth Port Co., Ltd. on the one hand organized relevant units to hold a pre-ship meeting in advance, and formulated exclusive plans for key links such as the characteristics and transportation requirements of the cargo, the division of the terminal operation area, and the customs clearance and inspection process. Focus on mastering key information such as the vessel type, cargo hold structure, layout of fixed points inside the hold and on the deck of the "Belgian Bull", and sort out the loading and unloading processes. By scientifically coordinating the existing berths and optimizing the vessel's entry process, especially with the strong support of the group company, border inspection, customs and other departments, the vessel finally entered the port and berthed three days ahead of schedule, thus saving precious time for subsequent loading and unloading operations. Li Jinyong, deputy manager of the operation department of Tianjin Port Fourth Port Co., LTD., introduced: "We have arranged dedicated personnel to establish a '24-hour connection mechanism' with freight forwarders, closely tracking the transportation progress of dump trucks to the terminal in real time, opening a 'green channel' for the arrival of goods at the port, and achieving the optimal operation state of 'goods waiting for ships'." "
Meanwhile, during the operation process, the Fourth Company adopted an operation plan of "zoned operation and seamless connection". Considering the large volume of dump trucks and the difficulty in unified dispatching, it specially designated independent operation areas, reserved sufficient vehicle turnover space, arranged experienced mechanical drivers and selected suitable anti-slip MATS, lifting brackets and other tools and accessories to ensure that the loading and unloading tools and accessories were precisely matched with the demand for goods Ultimately, through the unremitting efforts of all the company's employees, this assignment was completed safely and efficiently, earning high praise from the client.
This efficient service guarantee operation is a vivid portrayal of Tianjin Port's in-depth service for jointly building the "Belt and Road Initiative". As an important international shipping hub in northern China, Tianjin Port has stably operated 69 routes along the Belt and Road Initiative. Over 60% of its foreign trade goods come from countries and regions along the routes, providing a more stable and convenient maritime logistics channel for economic and trade exchanges between inland areas such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative. At present, Sany Group has developed into the largest construction machinery manufacturer in China and the fifth largest in the world. Tianjin Port Group is an important strategic partner of Sany Group and a key port for Sany Heavy Industry's overseas exports. It undertakes the shipment of equipment and vehicles to many important markets in North America, South America and Oceania.
The National Day of port workers lies in their hard work and sense of responsibility. The journey of the Belt and Road Initiative lies in cooperation and win-win results. From the efficient logistics support of Tianjin Port to the high-quality equipment output of Sany Heavy Industry, Chinese enterprises are working together to inject impetus into the development of countries along the Belt and Road. In the future, Tianjin Port Group will continue to optimize service processes to a higher standard and write more new chapters of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation on the broad stage of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative.
