Under the warm winter sun, the distant sound of steam whistles cuts across the sea and sky. Giant ships arrive one after another at the docks in Liaoning Port. Vehicles shuttle back and forth. There is a busy production scene everywhere. On December 4, the "Hetai Tong 13" ship carrying 18,000 tons of coke slowly docked at the Yingkou Port Coal Terminal. "This cargo is a guaranteed coal supply for Anshan Iron and Steel Headquarters. With the berths operating at full capacity, we are actively opening up a 'green channel' and fully ensuring the supply of energy materials to key enterprises in the hinterland." Responsible for the business department of Yingkou Port No. 2 Company of China Merchants Liaoning Port Group people say.
Since the beginning of winter, the demand for heating and power generation in the Northeast has increased significantly.
