On October 11, the first logistics contracting purchased coal business from Datongkou of Xinshuo Railway was dispatched, marking a solid step forward in the Company’s market-oriented reform through the logistics contracting model and injecting new momentum into volume growth.

The shipment was loaded at Hailesihao South Station and transported to Qinhuangdao East, comprising one full train of 105 cars with a total weight of 8,400 tonnes. This represents a new routing for purchased coal under Xinshuo Railway’s logistics general contracting policy—the first shipment via the Datongkou route transported to the port via the Daqin Line. To ensure smooth execution, all transportation matrix units of Xinshuo Railway overcame challenges from holidays and continuous rainfall. Leveraging the advantages of purchased coal sourcing and the “l(fā)ogistics general contracting + tiered pricing” policy, coordinated with dedicated line fee reductions, they precisely adjusted train flow direction, reduced internal turnaround time, and optimized wagon allocation. These efforts enabled efficient coordination across coal sourcing, capacity allocation, and dispatch command, ensuring seamless integration of coal preparation and loading and the successful completion of the transport task.

This shipment fully utilized the integrated transport advantages of China Shenhua and the end-to-end integration capabilities of the logistics general contracting model. Compared with traditional transport, it further simplifies customers’ logistics processes, reduces logistics costs, and improves operational efficiency. This move represents a key step for Xinshuo Railway in strategically addressing energy transport security needs and transitioning from traditional transport to modern integrated logistics services. It also provides strong support for building core competitiveness, enhancing customer loyalty and supply chain resilience, and opening up new business channels.
