四川省航务海事中心推进大件运输“公转水”
To continuously optimize the business environment, streamline logistics and transportation chains, and help enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency, the Sichuan Provincial Navigation and Maritime Center recently collaborated with the Provincial Government Affairs Center to organize two shipping companies in the jurisdiction to visit the Operation Support Company of PetroChina Sichuan Petroleum Administration Drilling Engineering Company. They conducted "door-to-door, face-to-face" precise supply-demand matching services to effectively address the challenges of oversized cargo transportation for enterprises.
During the matching activity, the staff visited the enterprise's production and operation site to gain a detailed understanding of the entire process of transporting, loading, unloading, and transferring oversized cargo such as drilling rigs and derrick equipment. They directly observed the actual transportation operations of the enterprise. Subsequently, a special symposium was held between the government and the enterprise to deeply discuss the actual needs of the enterprise for external transportation of oversized cargo and to meticulously identify issues such as high costs and restricted access in road transportation.
To address the pain points in enterprise transportation, the working group focused on promoting the layout of high-grade waterways, navigational capacity, and the advantages of waterway transportation resources across the province. They provided a detailed explanation of the special cost-reduction plan for shifting oversized cargo transportation from road to water. They engaged in in-depth communication on key aspects such as transportation route planning, capacity allocation, and comprehensive support. Additionally, they precisely recommended value-added logistics services to customize safe, efficient, and economical waterway transportation solutions for enterprises, guiding them to optimize their transportation structure.
In the next step, the Sichuan Provincial Navigation and Maritime Center will continue to deepen the normalized matching mechanism of "unblocking a river, serving the entire chain," closely focusing on enterprise needs, and guiding shipping companies to refine and improve exclusive "road-to-water" transportation plans. They will accelerate the implementation of these plans, fully leverage the comparative advantages of water transportation, such as large capacity, low cost, and high safety, and continuously address bottlenecks in oversized cargo waterway transportation services. This will comprehensively reduce logistics and transportation costs for enterprises and provide solid waterway logistics support for the high-quality development of regional industries.
