China's railway transport coal demand pressure

As the temperature increased gradually throughout China on the increasing demand for coal transport, coupled with many uncertainties and external, lead to rail coal transport pressure.

21 Ministry of Railways officials said this year's situation is very complicated summer peaks in electricity, railway departments will adopt a series of effective measures to fully protect the summer coal transport.

Officials pointed out that the process of economic recovery there are many problems and difficulties, some of the new circumstances and new issues are also highlighted, which are a greater impact on electricity demand. In particular, the current severe situation of energy conservation, electricity supply and demand put forward new demands.

In addition, coal, hydrological, meteorological and other external environment, there are also many uncertainties. To this end, this year during the summer peaks, the local power supply and demand in China is expected tight, northwest, northeast, supply and demand situation is more relaxed, the basic balance central, north, east and south balance the tight, limited power may peak there.

Officials stressed that the background of strong demand for rail transport, the railway sector will further increase to the northwest region of empty rows to send efforts to ensure the transportation of materials Yushu post-disaster reconstruction while further expanding capacity of the Northwest Coal Trans.

Shanghai World Expo involving coal transport requirements, priority will be to protect the railway sector.

Ministry of Railways said it would further strengthen the transportation organization, to ensure that key areas, focusing on the supply of coal power plants. Coal resources will strengthen the various railway organizations to focus on coal and bulk cargo through train contract basis, focus on power plants to ensure supply of coal; on Beijing, Tianjin, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and southwestern coal and other key areas will be closely concern, support of the power company before the coming peak in the summer peak load of coal coal storage equipment, choose the nearest coal supply mine, and make plans for the railway rush to transport coal preparation, coal transportation efforts to ensure that summer.

As of June 12 this year, average daily loading of 40 227 Chinese railway coal cars, an increase of 43.5%; National 349 direct supply power plant coal storage 31.477 million tons, can consume days to 17.8 days. Complete
