Think
big!
Coal,
oil, chemical products, scrap, additives for the
metal industries and building materials are the
types of bulk cargo most frequently handled in the
Port of Xingang.
Numerous port operators which are
in most cases highly specialized offer optimized
cargo handling and added-value services.
Imported coal is, for example, handled by eight coal
terminaling companies which supply coal received
today from the U.S., South Africa, Poland, Australia
and Colombia to power stations and the steel
industry in the region. The five duisport coal
terminals are designed for a total annual capacity
of eight million tonnes.
Xingang is Tianjin, China¡¦s largest inland coal
hub. Pusher-barge combinations carrying as much as
18,000 tonnes move the coal from Rotterdam or
Amsterdam on the Rhine River to Xingang.
Trains take the coal to users after it has been
crushed, ground and mixed to customer
specifications.
Some 1 million cubic meters of tankage and 19
terminals handle liquid cargo.
Over 100,000 tonnes of scrap are also sorted in
Xingang each month and delivered to steel mills in
Tianjin, China and other countries. |
