The Research On Efficiency Improvement Tactics Of Tianjin Coal Terminal

Influenced by the Financial Turmoil, the European Debt Crisis and earthquakes, world economy gradually turn better after years’ depression, many countries in the world are facing the new opportunities and challenges. As the important material basis for national economy, the demand for energy is bound to increase with the economy rapid development. China is rich in coal, but poor in oil and gas, because of the short of oil and long time for new energy research, coal is playing an important role in high-energy consumption industry, it is significant to the national development in the next few years.The supply and demand of coal are very inconsistent in terms of geographical distribution. The scale of the project to transport coal will become bigger as the rapid development in the east and south of China. Coal terminal is an important part of the logistics, so its production capacity and efficiency have a great relationship with coal transportation. Moreover, coal export trading are expanding, which means that efficiency is a key factor to the long and stable development of coal terminals.Tianjin Coal Terminal, one of important coal ports in north, has7professional berths, the length of quays is2060m, the maximum depth of quay is-19.6m, able to dock15-20ten thousand tons vessel. The area of yards is350000m2, with8.3million tons storage capacity. The terminal is equipped with modernized mechanical systems, single loading machine’s efficiency up to6500t/h. The other ports are Qinhuangdao Port、Huanghua Port、Tangshan Port、Qindao Port、Rizhao Port and Lianyungang Port.Efficiency is a persuaded index for competitiveness, so the paper bases on the newest data of the seven ports, uses DEA-CCR model to evaluate the efficiency of Tianjin Coal Terminal, then analysis the impact of factors on the efficiency. Finally, put forward advice for efficiency improvement.
