Water transportation is the best choice, but there are many private enterprises in cement enterprises, and the information interaction with ports and other enterprises is not smooth, which needs the support of the government.

In the afternoon of February 15, Zhao Hongbo, Vice President of Shanshui Group and General Manager of Northeast Operation Zone, Li Xiang, Director of the Building Materials Department of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, and others came to Huludao Port for exchange and inspection.

Cement is an essential raw material for infrastructure construction.

“At present, there have been many southern cement dealers docking with Liaoning enterprises, and the cooperation enthusiasm between enterprises is very high.

The overall annual capacity of cement is about 100 million tons, which is an important part of industries above designated size.

“The local market is shrinking year by year, so we must find new ways to spread the cost.

“It is not easy to enter the new market.

“Liaoning cement quality industry is leading.” Zhao Hongbo, president of the Provincial Building Materials Industry Association, said with confidence.

The theme of the meeting is to study how to reduce the transportation cost of cement enterprises and start the local and southern transportation market demand.

From Liaoning’s “cross sea” transportation of cement to the south to seize the market, how does Liaoning cement enterprise calculate this account? Find the right price difference and expand the new market.

Although the products are qualified, the government has to overcome many difficulties in the transportation process.

Therefore, every year in the coldest winter, Liaoning cement enterprises will carry out equipment maintenance and upgrading, which makes the maintenance and upgrading frequency of Liaoning cement higher than that of southern enterprises, and the product quality has an objective guarantee.

There is room for price, and the quality of Liaoning cement is also guaranteed.

“In the past few years, the cement sold in the southern market reached 600 or 700 yuan per ton, hundreds of yuan higher than ours,” said the relevant head of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology.

Transportation of cement to the south is a slightly strange word.

This gives Liaoning Cement an opportunity to expand its new market.

Liaoning has a large temperature difference, and has a congenital climate advantage in the process of cement production, which will make the quality of cement solidification better.

On February 15, the weather at Huludao Port Bulk Cargo Terminal was sunny, accompanied by the roaring siren, the propeller of the cargo ship “Bixiang” loaded with 17000 tons of cement accelerated, and gradually left the terminal for Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, opening the prelude to the search for business opportunities in the Liaoning Cement South Market this year.

Relevant departments have expressed their strong support for cement enterprises at the meeting, and have established contacts with enterprises one by one to facilitate future docking and realize the sale of cement to the south as soon as possible.

On February 8 this year, a coordination meeting on the production and transportation needs of the cement industry was held under the organization of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology.

I hope the government can help us to bridge with port enterprises, reduce logistics costs, and squeeze out profit space.” Li Zhongmin’s words are also the common voice of the heads of cement enterprises.

Infrastructure construction, quality is the guarantee, and simple price advantage can not get the order.” Li Zhongmin said, referring to the hearts of many heads of cement enterprises.

“Price determines everything.” Li Zhongmin, the sales manager of the northeast operation area of the cement production enterprise Shanshui Group, was outspoken.

At the same time, due to the high kiln temperature required for cement production, the high production cost in winter, and the few construction projects in the north in winter, the demand for cement is also small.

To broaden this new road, we need to help.

It is expected that this year’s cement transportation to the south in our province will be better than last year,” said the relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology.
.

It was at that time that Liaoning Cement started the attempt to transport the cement to the south.

The appeal of enterprises received the government’s feedback at the first time.

Four provincial departments including the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Department of Transportation, three port enterprises including Liaogang Port, Jinzhou Port and Huludao Port, and five key enterprises including the Provincial Building Materials Association and the Northeast Operation Zone of Shanshui Group, Liaoning Daying Group, Liaoning Hengwei Group, Dalian Cement Group and Dalian Tianrui Cement attended the meeting.

Port enterprises have also figured out many ways to reduce the cost of capital and time for cement transportation to the south.

At the same time, Liaoning has a number of national first-class universities and scientific research institutions to provide intellectual support for enterprises, so that the technical indicators of the cement industry continue to be upgraded.

“Due to the quality improvement of our cement products, many downstream customers’ production indicators have risen with the tide, requiring them to match better specifications of ingredients and construction quality,” said Li Zhongmin.

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the infrastructure construction market in the south, the demand for cement has risen, and the local cement enterprises have been in short supply, and the price of cement has risen all the way.

2019 is the period when the cement price is the highest in recent years.

Previously, Liaoning cement was mainly supplied to local and surrounding provinces, but in recent years, the cement industry has been impacted and the market share has gradually decreased.

There are 144 enterprises in the cement industry in Liaoning Province.

In the impression of most people, the logistics cost of bulk commodities such as cement is high, so most users will choose suppliers with a short procurement radius to save costs.
