Transportation And Port Container Loading Of MGO Boards in Multiple Regions

During the 2026 Spring Festival holiday, which coincided with the peak Spring Festival travel rush and a critical period for material supply guarantee, all links in China's MGO (magnesium oxide) board transportation industry chain worked together to overcome multiple challenges such as low-temperature rain and snow, tight transportation capacity, and busy port operations. They efficiently completed the whole-process guarantee of inland trunk line transportation and port container loading, laying a solid logistics foundation for the supply of domestic and foreign building materials markets after the holiday. According to data from the Ministry of Transport, since the start of the Spring Festival travel rush (from February 2 to the present), the container loading volume of building materials such as MGO boards at major national ports has steadily increased, and the smooth rate of inland transportation has remained above 95%.

As a new type of environmentally friendly building material, MGO boards are widely used in architectural decoration, industrial fire protection and other fields. The period before and after the Spring Festival is not only a peak season for stocking demand of downstream domestic enterprises, but also a window period for concentrated shipment of export orders. Affected by the record-high cross-regional personnel flow during the 2026 Spring Festival travel rush and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, MGO board transportation is facing prominent problems such as "difficulty in inland transportation capacity dispatching, port container entry congestion, and tight operation connection during holidays". To this end, eight ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Transport issued the "Overall Plan for Work Safety and Service Guarantee of Comprehensive Transportation During the 2026 Spring Festival Travel Rush" in advance, clearly requiring strengthening the guarantee of key material transportation and opening up green transportation channels for building materials such as MGO boards.

Inland Transportation: Breaking the Dilemma through Multi-Dimensional Linkage and Consolidating the "Door-to-Port" Transportation Chain

During the Spring Festival holiday, logistics enterprises in various regions and MGO board manufacturers established a "point-to-point" coordination mechanism, accurately allocated transportation capacity resources, and made every effort to ensure the smooth flow of inland transportation. In response to the characteristics of MGO boards being susceptible to moisture and needing to prevent damage, transportation enterprises specially upgraded protective measures, adopted moisture-proof sealed packaging, customized transport carriages, equipped with real-time temperature and humidity monitoring equipment, and avoided the impact of rain, snow and low-temperature weather on the quality of goods throughout the process.

In major MGO board producing areas such as Hubei and Henan, logistics enterprises implemented a "staggered vacation and shift duty" system, reserved more than 30% of emergency transportation capacity, and focused on ensuring the trunk line transportation from hub cities such as Wuhan and Zhengzhou to coastal ports. "We have advanced docking with 12 MGO board manufacturers, sorted out 28 key transportation routes, and invested an average of more than 120 freight vehicles per day during the Spring Festival to ensure that goods are directly transported from the production workshop to the port yard," said a person in charge of Spring Festival travel rush guarantee of a logistics group. In response to low-temperature rain and snow weather, the enterprise has prepared anti-skid chains, snow-melting agents and other materials for transport vehicles in advance, established an early warning response mechanism in conjunction with meteorological departments, and dynamically adjusted transportation routes to ensure transportation timeliness.

At the same time, transportation departments in various regions have actively implemented Spring Festival travel rush guarantee policies, implemented "priority passage and priority inspection" for transport vehicles carrying key materials such as MGO boards, simplified the approval process for over-limit transportation, set up convenient service points in expressway service areas, provided truck drivers with warm services such as catering, rest and vehicle maintenance, and effectively protected the legitimate rights and interests and transportation enthusiasm of employees.

Port Container Loading: Improving Efficiency through Efficient Operations and Opening Up the "Last Mile" for Export

Faced with problems such as the surge in port goods before the Spring Festival and "difficulty in container dropping", major coastal ports such as Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and Xiamen Port have introduced targeted measures to ensure smooth flow and provide exclusive guarantees for MGO board container loading. By flexibly adjusting ship calling terminals, optimizing yard stacking layout, and improving gantry crane operation efficiency, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port ensures that the daily loading and unloading volume is not less than 40,000 TEUs. It implements "separate stacking of pre-stored containers and dynamic container entry control" for containers of building materials such as MGO boards, which greatly shortens the stay time of goods in the port.

At Xiamen Port, logistics enterprises and port departments have advanced docking of booking and container loading plans, and strictly operated in accordance with the process of "preparation before container pickup - gate entry inspection - efficient container loading - exit from the gate". By reserving special operation positions and simplifying customs declaration and inspection procedures, MGO board container loading has achieved "completion in half an hour and zero delay". "We stuck to our posts during the Spring Festival and arranged special personnel to connect with MGO board container loading business every day. We opened up a green channel for export orders to ensure timely shipment of goods by ship," introduced a person in charge of terminal operations at Xiamen Port. The port also synchronizes shipping space information and container loading progress in real time through an online system to facilitate enterprises to track the status of goods throughout the process.

In addition, regulatory authorities such as Zhejiang Maritime Safety Administration have established a multi-party consultation mechanism of "government-enterprise-port", providing "priority berthing, priority anchoring and priority inspection" services for MGO board transport ships, and the overall ship navigation efficiency has increased by more than 30%; at the same time, they have strictly implemented 24-hour emergency duty, responded to severe weather such as cold waves and strong winds in advance, and ensured the safe and orderly port container loading and maritime transportation.

As of February 4, during the Spring Festival holiday, major national ports have completed the loading and shipment of nearly 1,000 TEUs of MGO boards, and inland transportation has covered more than 20 provinces and cities, effectively guaranteeing the emergency and regular supply of MGO boards in domestic and foreign markets. Insiders said that the efficient promotion of MGO board transportation guarantee work during this Spring Festival holiday not only demonstrates the resilience and vitality of China's comprehensive logistics system, but also lays a solid foundation for the resumption of work and production of the building materials industry and the stable start of foreign trade exports after the holiday.
