From: Lianyungang Updated: 2019-11-22 11:10

Recently,　another　train　full　of　ferrochrome　from　Kazakhstan　has　entered　Lianyungang　Sino-Kazakhstan　logistics　base.　This　is　the　11000th　TEU　of　ferrochromium　alloy　in　transit　from　Kazakhstan　to　Lianyungang　in　2019,　representing　the　best　level　in　the　same　period　of　history.　"We　are　quite　satisfied　with　the　services　provided　by　Lianyungang.　We　hope　that　under　the　guidance　of　the　"Belt　and　Road"　Initiative,　the　port　will　give　us　more　concessional　terms　and　better　services　in　the　future.　Dunnis　Alchukov,　chairman　of　the　board　of　directors　of　Eurasian　Resources　Group　(Yunkang　Co.,　Ltd.),　said　happily　yesterday　when　investigating　Lianyungang　Port.

It　is　reported　that　Yunkang　Co.,　Ltd.　belongs　to　Eurasian　Resources　Group　of　Kazakhstan,　one　of　the　largest　mining　and　metallurgical　groups　in　the　world.　Yunkang’s　annual　traffic　volume　exceeds　58　million　tons,　accounting　for　20%　of　the　total　traffic　volume　of　Kazakhstan's　railway　network.　As　early　as　2009,　Yunkang　Co.,　Ltd.　and　Lianyungang　began　to　transit　ferrochrome　through　Lianyungang,　with　a　total　volume　of　more　than　3.5　million　tons.　Under　the　market　environment　of　changing　global　economy　and　product　price　fluctuation,　in　the　past　three　years,　the　transit　business　of　ferrochromium　alloy　which　is　the　largest　commodity　of　Lianyungang　Sino-European　train,　has　been　growing　steadily,　basically　maintaining　over　400000　tons　per　year.

Lianyungang　Port　has　always　been　the　most　convenient　port　of　export　for　Central　Asia.　In　recent　years,　the　land-sea　intermodal　transport　channel　from　Horgos　to　Lianyungang　has　been　further　unblocked　by　means　of　building　logistics　hub　nodes,　opening　Sino-Europe　trains　and　increasing　flight　routes,　providing　more　convenient　and　quality　warehousing　and　logistics　services　for　agricultural　products　and　mineral　resources　in　Central　Asia,　such　as　wheat,　cotton　yarn,　potassium　fertilizer,　ferrochrome　and　etc.　On　June　28　this　year,　in　order　to　ensure　the　standardized　operation　and　high-quality　service　after　the　increase　of　the　transit　ferrochrome　business　in　Lianyungang,　and　to　enable　more　eastbound　cargo　sources　to　enjoy　the　latest　policy　"dividend"　in　the　port　block　of　Lianyungang　Free　Trade　Zone,　with　the　help　of　Lianyungang　customs,　the　ferrochrome　business　in　Central　Asia　entirely　moved　into　the　Sino-Kazakhstan　logistics　base　of　Lianyungang.
