As an important gateway for China's northward opening-up, the Ganqimaodu Port is interpreting the strategic value of energy channels with strong data. As of April 15, 2026, the port has completed a cumulative import and export freight volume of 15.6762 million tons, of which 14.9369 million tons are imported coal, accounting for 95.3% of the total. Combined with the import volume of 599900 tons of copper concentrate powder and 1400 tons of manganese ore, energy and resource materials constitute the absolute trading subject, and the export goods are 137900 tons. The port transportation is busy and orderly.

In terms of trading mode, Mengmei Electronic Auction has become a market indicator. Data shows that the auction transaction rate reached 96.28% in late March, and in early April, as the number of auction sessions increased to 46, although the transaction volume remained at a high level of 1.5616 million tons, the transaction rate dropped to 69.91%, reflecting the dynamic game of market supply and demand operating at a high level. At present, the price of raw coal for Mongolia 5 # is 1067 yuan/ton, and the prices of clean coal for Mongolia 3 # and Mongolia 5 # are 1130 yuan/ton and 1220 yuan/ton, respectively. The premium ability of clean coal varieties is significant, indicating the urgent demand for high-quality energy downstream. Keywords: coal import

Faced with volatile market conditions, the Ganqimaodu Port Management Committee is establishing a normalized price monitoring mechanism to closely monitor changes in the Mongolian coal index. This measure not only aims to stabilize the border trade order, but also provides accurate data support for national energy security, helping ports to leap from cargo channels to energy hubs.Editor/Cheng Liting
