The　author　recently　learned　from　Lianyungang　Port　Co.,　Ltd　that　since　this　year,　in　the　face　of　the　increasing　downward　pressure　of　the　domestic　economy,　Lianyungang　Port　has　actively　taken　measures　to　deal　with　new　situations　and　problems　arising　under　the　new　normal　economy.　The　security　situation　has　remained　stable,　the　production　has　been　started　well,　and　the　profits　have　seen　steady　growth.　From　January　to　May,　the　throughput　of　goods　completed　at　Lianyungang　Port　was　102　million　tons,　an　increase　of　3.7%　over　the　same　period　last　year,　of　which　foreign　trade　throughput　reached　50.239　million　tons,　an　increase　of　0.02%　over　the　same　period　last　year.　2.09　million　TEUs　was　shipped,　an　increase　of　1%　over　the　same　period　last　year,　laying　a　solid　foundation　for　the　realization　of　"double　goals".
At　10:30　a.m.　that　day,　the　author　came　to　the　Coal　Terminal　of　Lianyungang　Port　and　saw　the　large　portal　crane　unloading　the　coal　shipped　to　the　port.　Chen　Xiaogang,　deputy　manager　of　marketing　center　of　the　Oriental　Company,　introduced,　"While　we　do　well　in　production,　we　should　strengthen　dust　control　and　spray　the　site　regularly　every　day　to　achieve　full　coverage　of　the　entire　cargo　yard.　In　the　process　of　unloading,　fog　guns　are　used　at　all　operation　sites　to　achieve　dust　reduction　through　fog　spraying.”
Since　this　year,　the　port　has　overcome　multiple　difficulties.　In　view　of　the　concentrated　arrival　of　cargo　sources,　it　has　made　every　effort　to　optimize　production　organization,　exert　overall　planning　ability,　reduce　berthing　time,　rationally　integrate　internal　sites　and　transfer　cargo,　and　alleviate　storage　pressure.　In　order　to　further　expand　the　coal　market,　the　port　group　leaders　have　intensified　their　visits　to　large　state-owned　coal　enterprises,　conducted　trade　with　coal-using　enterprises　in　Xuzhou　and　Anhui,　and　facilitated　upstream　traders　to　agree　to　transfer　coal　from　Lianyungang　Port　to　form　cargo　throughput.　At　the　same　time,　they　optimize　the　work　flow,　promote　the　"no-landing"　technology　of　bulk　cargo　handling,　continuously　improve　the　efficiency　of　direct　access　of　coal　trucks　and　ships,　and　strictly　implement　the　environmental　protection　policy　while　promoting　cargo　loading.　In　the　first　five　months　of　this　year,　the　port　completed　6.95　million　tons　of　coal　handling,　an　increase　of　34.9%　compared　with　the　same　period　last　year.
In　addition　to　the　increase　in　imports　of　bulk　commodities　such　as　coal,　laterite,　nickel　ore　and　bauxite,　the　roll-on　business　has　also　seen　agglomeration　effects.　On　the　basis　of　the　excellent　"report　card"　handed　in　the　first　quarter,　the　port　continued　to　open　up　the　European　routes　of　Wallenius　Wilhelmsen,　the　Australian　routes　of　Merchant　Ship　Mitsui　and　the　Southeast　Asia,　South　America　and　West　routes　of　Anji　Logistics　in　the　second　quarter.　The　trend　for　exports　of　vehicles　in　Lianyungang　remained　strong.　Thanks　to　reasonable　route　layout　and　high-quality　services,　vehicle　exports　of　Lianyungang　Port　continue　to　maintain　a　strong　growth　momentum.　It　is　expected　that　more　than　22,000　vehicles　will　be　exported　in　the　first　half　of　the　year,　which　will　exceed　the　total　export　volume　in　2018.
