Grain General Terminal actively engaged with major end-users to gain deeper insights into customer needs and collaborated with railways to carry out containerization operations in an organized way. Additionally, the company enhanced business promotion efforts, attracting customers to the port for containerized shipping and strongly advancing containerized shipments in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. These initiatives yielded significant results this year in Sichuan where business was conducted for the first time, and achieved double container volumes in Yunnan and Guizhou. From January to October, the company's sea-rail transport operations grew by 18.3% on a year-on-year basis, with October marking the best performance for the same period in history.

To handle the rapid growth in business volume and effectively address challenges such as conflicts between container and silo positions, as well as the dispatching of empty and loaded containers, Grain General Terminal has adopted refined management practices. The company pays close attention to the needs of terminal factories, enhances communication and collaboration with logistics companies, and arranges cargo warehousing and containerization services efficiently. It proactively plans yard layouts during peak periods, clears transportation routes, and streamlines processes for handling multiple shipments simultaneously, enabling highly efficient "multi-line concurrent" operations. By leveraging the advantages of mobile conveyor belts and reach stackers, along with continuous improvements in operating methods and equipment upgrades, the company ensures that containerization efficiency remains uncompromised.

To address the unique characteristics of "bulk-to-container" operations, Grain General Terminal developed an auxiliary system specifically for this business segment. This system enables real-time monitoring and intelligent scheduling of the entire transportation process, ensuring seamless integration across operational stages and maintaining the continuity and stability of containerization and transshipment operations. Additionally, the system supervises the entire workflow of external vehicles entering the port, weighing, collecting containers and departing, while responding swiftly to on-site situations and adjusting instructions promptly. This approach maximizes the utilization of production resources. (By Su Dongxu and Cheng Siqi)
