East China’s Jiangsu province has made unremitting efforts to rev up financial support and ease the transportation bottlenecks to help with the resumption of work and production amid the epidemic prevention and control.
Lianyungang-based Jiangsu Lianrui New Materials Co., Ltd. has insisted on inspecting and disinfecting freight vehicles to ensure smooth logistics and normal production.
The company ships 500-600 tons of products to Shanghai every month. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the company has suffered a significant increase in logistics and transportation costs, and the cost of freight per ton has risen to nearly 500 yuan.
Bo Lin, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Jiangsu Lianrui New Materials Co., Ltd.
The Municipal Development and Reform Commission coordinated with the relevant departments to help us book transportation vehicles, and also shipped the company's LTL goods together with other enterprises. The freight per ton was reduced by more than 100 yuan, which saved us a lot of costs.
Since the end of last month, Lianyungang has established a Lianyungang-Shanghai logistics and transportation responsibility team composed of officials from development and reform, industry and information, and commerce departments by selecting a number of logistics companies to ensure the transportation of provisions and supplies between Lianyungang and cities in the Yangtze River Delta.
The responsibility team has also assisted enterprises to get through traffic bottlenecks inside and outside the city, obtain passes, and provide enterprises with product sales information.
Zhou Zhongqing, Director of Industrial Division of Lianyungang Development and Reform Commission
At present, we have assisted enterprises in sending more than 1,000 tons of materials, solved difficulties in product transportation for many companies, and coordinated the transportation of construction equipment for nuclear power plant units 7 and 8 to Lianyungang, which has facilitated the resumption of production and work.
