Steel port terminal, as an important hub of land and water transportation network, plays an important role in loading and unloading, transportation and storage, and is a strategic resource and an important platform for stabilizing the steel production chain. MCC Baosteel earnestly implements the goal of "One create two Top five" and the three-year action plan of basic management of MCC Group, starting from improving the performance of project, adhering to the concept of "fine operation of each bucket, accurate control of each ship, and careful cultivation of each person", and provides integrated port and terminal operation solutions for steel enterprises such as Baoshan Base and Zhanjiang Iron and Steel. It fully guarantees the efficient operation of the production chain and supply chain of the steel industry.

The picture shows that the Zhanjiang steel finished product terminal operated and served by MCC Baosteel is carrying out the "double machine" loading operation.

Fine operation to stabilize Zhanjiang steel production chain

The logistics status of raw materials terminal is the key to ensure the orderly production of steel mills. With the production needs of steel mills as the center, MCC Baosteel develops detailed operation plans according to the characteristics of different raw materials to improve the fine operation ability.

The production capacity of continuous ship unloader has a crucial influence on the efficiency of ore entering the plant. In February 2023, in order to solve the unloading problems of Zhanjiang Iron and Steel's cargo ship, such as deep berth and multiple dead angles, the operation team of MCC Baosteel Raw Material Terminal adjusted the jib Angle of the ship unloader and the positioning of the retainer head, optimized the stripping plan, quickly completed the disposal of the remaining materials in the tank, ensured the high-frequency operation of the continuous ship unloader, and completed the unloading operation on schedule.

The unloading operation of powder with high moisture content is easy to cause equipment failure, spreading along the belt, chute blockage and other problems, which hinder the downstream process operation in serious cases. In May 2023, two card-powder transport ships arrived at the port one after another. MCC Baosteel matches the opening and closing amplitude of hopper door and the power of vibration feeder according to the characteristics of mineral powder. The operator gives the operation instructions, and the command hands are stationed at the hatch to monitor the water content of each bucket of mineral powder in real time; The driver of the ship unloader dynamically controls the opening and closing degree of the grab according to the water content of the mineral powder, and accurately adjusts the parameters of the vibration feeder. The inner worker adjusts the opening and closing range of the hopper door, pays close attention to the operating state of the belt conveyor, and works together with the "three parties" to maintain the stable transmission of the powder with small flow and provide stable raw material input for the blast furnace ironmaking.

Precise control of smooth steel logistics arteries

Ship is the main body of cargo transportation in port and wharf. In order to improve the efficiency of the delivery of finished products, MCC Baosteel develops the loading procedures and organizes operators according to the ship characteristics and stowage information of the ships arriving at the port, and carries out research on the needs of the changes in product structure, the increase in specifications and types, the concentration of foreign ships to the port, the full export tasks, and the large amount of concentrated operations, and formulates countermeasures item by item, so as to achieve "one ship and one policy".

August 25, in order to efficiently rush the export of 20,000 tons of cold-rolled steel coil task, MCC Baosteel first time set up a foreign ship rush transport coordination service commandos, coordinate the synchronous allocation of dock warehouse, railway warehouse and terminal warehouse, achieve the "three warehouse" linkage, achieve continuous cargo, operation handover without stopping, coordinate the three port machinery to implement "three operations", and the conversion rate of workers increased significantly. With the joint efforts of the team, the rush transport task was successfully completed 7 hours ahead of schedule, and the real efficiency and calculation efficiency of a single ship were respectively increased by 42.7% and 50.1% compared with the previous voyage, creating the fastest logistics delivery record.

Carefully cultivate and build the vanguard of terminal operation

MCC Baosteel has always adhered to the people-oriented, carefully cultivated the operation service team with strong management ability, high skill level and specialized business, and built a solid foundation for the operation of the terminal.

MCC Baosteel reserves terminal operation personnel in advance through the combination of internal training and social recruitment. Summarize the practical experience of port operation, collect classic cases, combine the geographical environment and cargo characteristics, prepare operation instructions and practical training materials around ship management, cargo loading and unloading, transportation warehousing and other key links, to ensure that the training is in place, the service process is smooth, and the port operation is efficient.

According to the actual development of the "job skills training" plan, invite professional spot inspection personnel, belt conveyor operation management personnel, ship unloader drivers, and set up a highly skilled and experienced team of high-level teachers. Up to now, MCC Baosteel has trained more than 200 "beginners" to become "old docks", the operation efficiency of raw materials into the factory has been improved by nearly 40%, and the ore calculation efficiency has been stable at a high level, ensuring the supply of raw materials and ores. In July 2023, the raw material ship achieved full caliber dispatch, setting a new operating record.

It's time for the middle stream to hit the water. MCC Baosteel earnestly studies and implements the spirit of the Party's 20 Major Congress, fully implements the work deployment of China Minmetals and MCC Group, strengthens the main responsibility and the main business, constantly improves the performance capacity and professional service level, provides systematic, professional and efficient integrated solutions for steel mills, and strives to create benchmarking projects, model projects and demonstration projects for port and terminal operation services.
