On June 20, Beihai Terminal of CHN Energy Zhuhai Port successfully completed its first full-process heavy-load operation, covering unloading, loading and departure in a single continuous cycle.
Following the discharge of 76,000 tons of bituminous coal from the vessel Guodian 19, the ship immediately loaded 56,000 tons of quartz sand for its return voyage. This innovative approach eliminates the traditional empty return leg common in shipping.
As a crucial node in CHN Energy's optimized supply chain, Beihai Terminal continues expanding its non-coal cargo business. It has added five new non-coal commodities including sea sand, quartz sand and dissolved pulp. This establishes a dual-pendulum transport model featuring northbound coal shipments and southbound mineral returns, significantly enhancing port operational efficiency.
