The Bulk Cargo Distribution Center (BCDC) of the northeastern Chinese port of Tianjin has stated that it has resolved some previous problems regarding unloading and distribution of iron ores and has thus ensured a steady increase in iron ore discharge volumes. Accordingly, on March 21, the BCDC registered a record daily discharge volume of 141,200 mt of iron ore, 23,200 mt higher than the previous all-time peak volume.
The BCDC at Tianjin port also stated that it has been making great efforts to improve its discharge and distribution capacities through, on the one hand, increased cooperation with the local railway authorities, and, on the other, by improving its operating efficiency and expanding storage capacity.
