On April 22nd, with a long whistle sound, a break bulk carrier loaded with Dawn's 9,740 tons of exported plastic raw materials slowly sailed out of the Longkou Port Area of Yantai Port, Shandong Port. It was reported that this export business had achieved a new breakthrough in single shipment volume, and it was also the first time that Longkou City had exported nearly 10,000 tons of break bulk plastic raw materials in a single transaction.
"In late February, we received the order of mainly polypropylene and polyethylene from our customer in North America." According to what the salesman of Dawn Chemical's import and export department said, when they began the stocking in early March, it was a critical period for a new round of domestic epidemic prevention and control, and procurement and transportation were affected, making it more difficult to receive and deliver goods.
What should we do if we face difficulty? Dawn people worked together and collaborated. In the past few days, Dawn Chemicals has actively communicated with large petrochemical and coal chemical companies such as Sinopec and China Datang to organize the supply of goods and strive to maintain the progress of the goods. Xu Congren, manager of PP department II in Dawn Chemicals Co., Ltd, said, "After hearing that this batch of goods was an export product, Datang Duolun Coal Chemical Company opened up a green channel for us. And the daily shipment volume reached 25 to 30 vehicles, which has doubled from normal."
With the concept of "customer-first" in mind, the hard-working Dawn benefactors worked day and night to meet the delivery time. The staff of Dawn Chemical's various product departments stuck to expressway intersections, went through the procedures according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, and ensured the timely passage of trucks. Warehousing staff worked overtime to ensure that the goods could be unloaded and packed into the warehouse at the first time. "During that time, we didn’t have any concept of holidays. It was common to work overtime after work. They came to the scene in the middle of the night or in the early morning. All was for stocking, and all was for customers." Manager Xu Congren said.
On April 16th, before the ship arrived at the port, all the goods were ready. Rongchang Logistics Company and International Logistics Company worked together to coordinate and promote the logistics, warehousing, and port collection. Subsequently, after 5 days and 5 nights of continuous intensive work, the loading task was successfully completed. "The process of stocking shows the spirit of 'three things to do and three things to be ', and condenses the powerful driving force of 'creating the value for customers." Yu Xiangyu, Director of Dawn International Trading Co., Ltd, commented.
Under the severe epidemic situation, many ports in China were closed. Director Yu Xiangyu said that the normal sending and receiving operations at Longkou Port benefited from the continuous and stable local epidemic prevention and control environment in Longkou city. "Due to the high requirements for environmental safety and hygiene of plastic raw material products, Longkou Port has raised the standard from transportation to storage yard, and made an exception adjustment from the break bulk cargo terminal to the container terminal to ensure the clean stacking, safe transportation and efficient loading of goods. "
