Recently, Shenma Group Co., Ltd. first conducted a public tender for maritime transportation business on a quarterly basis. After the selection of bidding prices and delivery methods, four freight companies were finally selected to represent Shenma Group's fourth-quarter maritime transportation business and tendering. Compared to the previous one, the freight can be saved by 1,071,000 yuan.
Shenma Group's export products are generally represented by cargo transportation companies and shipping companies. The freight company transports the goods to the port by means of direct towing (transporting the goods directly to the port) or intermodal transport (moving the goods to the train station and then to the port by rail), and then the shipping company transports the goods to the destination. Over the years, the Group’s marine transportation business has been adopting a 'one single move' approach, that is, when a customer purchases a product that needs to be tendered at the time of sea transport, the tender is due to the small volume of cargo, lack of attractiveness to the transport company, and relative transportation costs. Higher, and frequent replacement of transport companies, also brings inconvenience to customers receiving goods. Since the beginning of this year, as the volume of export business has grown significantly, the tendering efforts have been continuously strengthened. To ensure that the transportation costs are reduced on the basis of timely delivery to users, the group company decided to explore a new bidding model.
Since April, the deputy general managers of the group company Guxin Mine and related personnel of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Enterprise Investment Management, and International Trade Business Department have visited Qingdao, Zhengzhou, and other places in Shandong Province to carry out extensive contacts with freight transport companies and shipping companies. The situation of freight transportation costs and transportation limitations. After an in-depth investigation, it was decided to adopt a 'one-vote system' approach to tendering, that is, the group company only tendered for the freight transport company, and then the freight transport company chose the shipping company, taking into account the fact that the freight rates of the shipping companies were adjusted quarterly. Set the tender period as a quarter.
Due to the fact that the direct trailers are shorter than the intermodal transit time, during the tendering process, the company strictly followed the principle of direct dragging in strict accordance with the same price. After the selection of the bid price and delivery method, the company was finally determined by Henan Shitong International Logistics Co., Ltd., etc. Four freight companies represented the group company’s fourth-quarter maritime transportation business. After open tendering, the freight rates of 23 lines of the Group's company's maritime transport have declined to varying degrees before the tender.
