What Qinhuangdao Port does

Operator of Qinhuangdao Port, China's largest coal-export port, plus other bulk cargo terminals.

Is paid per tonne for unloading, storing and loading coal, so income follows volumes shipped through the port rather than coal prices. Coal arrives by rail from northern mines and leaves by sea for coastal power plants. The Hebei provincial port group controls it.
