Railway transportation volume of dangerous chemicals increased slightly

According to the data of the dangerous chemicals logistics branch of China Federation of things,the railway transportation volume of dangerous chemicals in China is increasing.In 2020,the railway transportation volume of dangerous chemicals reached 130 million tons,an increase of 3.2%compared with 126 million tons in 2018.

The scale of railway transportation of dangerous chemicals is about 90billion yuan

By the end of 2021,China's railway business mileage has exceeded 150000 kilometers,including more than 40000 kilometers of high-speed rail.Before the large-scale construction of pipelines,crude oil and most petroleum and petrochemical products in the mainland of China were basically transported by railway.The railway department has been strengthening the transportation of key materials such as petroleum and petrochemical products,and has adopted the"five fixed"trains and Dazong direct trains to ensure transportation.

According to the data released by the State Railway Administration,China's total railway freight volume in 2021 reached 4.774 billion tons,an increase of 222million tons over the previous year,an increase of 4.9%year-on-year.China's total railway freight turnover reached 3323.8 billion ton kilometers,an increase of 8.9%year-on-year.

Advantages and disadvantages of railway logistics development of dangerous chemicals

The advantages of railway transportation of dangerous chemicals lie in that it not only has a large cargo carrying capacity, can operate continuously, has a faster driving speed, but also has the advantages of low freight, safety and reliability, low pollution and low energy consumption, and the railway transportation is not easily affected by natural factors such as weather and terrain, which is suitable for medium and long-distance transportation. But at the same time, there are also restrictions such as large differences in transportation capacity, difficulty in realizing real-time tracking, and high project cost.
