In May, the Second Company of Qinhuangdao Port Co.,Ltd. (QHD PORT) handled a throughput of 2.834 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 29% and a month-on-month growth of 13%. The monthly production target was achieved seven days ahead of schedule, marking the highest single-month throughput in eight years.

During the month, the company concentrated on key areas including cargo source assurance, yard scheduling, and production organization. Multiple measures were implemented to address challenges such as high yard occupancy and concentrated vehicle arrivals, accelerating production efficiency and quality improvements.

On one front, efforts were intensified to optimize the cargo mix. The company deepened engagements with upstream and downstream clients, established a routine mechanism for collecting market cargo information, and closely monitored market changes. This enabled proactive coordination to dispatch high-quality, in-demand coal types, actively secure premium cargo shipments, and enhance the overall quality and turnover of cargo handled at the port.

On another front, refined management empowered yard operations. Based on actual on-site conditions, a "menu-style" management model was adopted. Core data such as yard inventory levels and client turnover rates were monitored in real-time. Yard resources were allocated differentially according to the urgency of client shipments and turnover efficiency, with customized operational plans developed to comprehensively boost overall yard utilization.

Simultaneously, the company conducted a thorough review and optimization of the entire operational chain, including loading, unloading, and dispatching. By coordinating operational planning, redundant handling processes were streamlined, vehicle waiting times were reduced, and on-site operational efficiency was elevated.

In May, the company's comprehensive unloading efficiency improved by 9.7% year-on-year, and berth utilization increased by 15.2% year-on-year, laying a solid foundation for achieving the record-high production performance.
