The coastal development of China’s steel industry has become a major trend
As a major steel province in Jiangsu Province, the contribution of the coastal city of Yancheng is obvious to all. In 2020, the scale of the city’s iron and steel industry will reach a level of 100 billion, with a completed crude steel production capacity of 4.62 million tons, a crude steel production capacity of 1.35 million tons under construction, and a locked crude steel production capacity of 1.1 million tons. Two major varieties of stainless steel and plain carbon steel have been initially formed. , The output of 300 series stainless steel ranks third in the country, and it has built the largest food-grade stainless steel production base in China.
According to the “14th Five-Year Plan for High-Quality Development of the Iron and Steel Industry in Yancheng City”, Yancheng City will be guided by the overall pattern of “one main and one auxiliary”, focusing on three major directions of high-quality steel, stainless steel and excellent special steel, and focusing on major project construction. The starting point is to actively build the industrial chain, enhance the value chain, deploy the innovation chain, configure the supply chain, plan to build a green high-quality steel base in the eastern coastal area, and make every effort to build a new landmark of the national high-quality stainless steel industry and a high-quality development demonstration highland of the iron and steel industry in Jiangsu Province.
At present, my country has formed six major coastal steel bases including Bayuquan Steel Base, Caofeidian Steel Base, Rizhao Steel Base, Baoshan Steel Base, Zhanjiang Steel Base, Fangchenggang Steel Base, among which the rising Fangchenggang Steel Base has produced more than 20 million tons of crude steel. , and the head enterprises of each coastal steel base are large steel enterprises such as Anshan Iron and Steel, Shougang Jingtang, Baosteel, etc., and the radiation market has spread all over the country.
The construction of coastal steel bases will improve the operating efficiency of enterprises. The outstanding advantage of large coastal iron and steel bases is that they can build factories based on ports, which have the advantage of logistics cost and reduce the transportation cost of raw materials and finished products. It will improve the level of my country’s iron and steel enterprises, meet the needs of domestic high-end varieties, and play a certain role in import substitution. The coastal iron and steel bases have superior terrain, rich coastlines and wide radiation range, which will help to adjust the layout of the iron and steel industry, correct the imbalance of the regional distribution of the iron and steel industry, and promote the transformation and upgrading of China’s iron and steel industry.
