Research On The Logistics Chain And Integrated Logistics Cost Of The Iron Ore Imports Of A Steel Group

Through researching the background of the situation of the steel industry, this thesis focuses on the northeast region of the large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises imported iron ore and the northeast the main port for the logistics nodes. This thesis analyses and calculates the results of the ports iron ore import statistics in order to planning Reasonable import iron ore international logistics selection scheme for iron and steel enterprises.By citing the logistics cost theory and international logistics optimization theory, this thesis analyses the change trends of the cost which happened on the iron and steel enterprises of imported iron ore in recent years, including the international market price of iron ore, shipping price, comprehensive production cost and steel product market price situation. The thesis summarizes that the iron and steel enterprises are facing a serious cost control problems and have to pay attention to the import of iron ore international logistics cost selection and control.Dalian Port and Bayuquan Port are the most important iron ore import port in northeast area, which undertake more than90%of the annual iron ore imports of the northeastern region of the large and medium-sized steel mills. This thesis analyses Dalian Port and Bayuquan Port imported iron ore logistics statistics data, and calculates the import price of iron ore imports, the costs of shipping, port charges, customs and inspection fees as well as the domestic railway transportation cost. Through analyzing the results of the data, this thesis will choose a more reasonable imports iron ore logistics chain. At the same time, according to the international and domestic situations and the future market changes, the thesis will forecast the future changes of cost of the import iron ore, and show the outstanding advantages of the port.By using the real data and rational analysis, this thesis wants to change existing concept that logistics transport only focuses on the price when the market of the steel industry is relatively fatigued and weak, the international iron ore imports decreased year by year and the iron and steel enterprises have to strictly control the logistics cost. At the same time this thesis will prove that Dalian Port has advantages to control the cost of integrated logistics, further highlighting the competitive advantages of import iron ore agent amount of Dalian Port.
