In view of the present situation and development demand planning of coal transportation in Hunan Province,in order to give full play to the capacity of Haoji Railway,effectively enhance the energy security capacity of Hunan Province,and establish ways to reduce the cost of coal logistics and improve efficiency in Hunan Province,this paper studies the layout of coal rail-water intermodal storage and distribution base in Hunan Province with the functional goal of realizing coal emergency reserve and efficient operation.By analyzing the coal production,supply,storage and transportation system,coal supply-demand balance,and the construction of coal transportation channels in Hunan Province,this paper summarizes the influencing factors of base logistics volume,calculates the transportation cost of different transportation modes,and predicts the base logistics volume in combination with the logistics operation organization mode.Following the principles of optimal base function,minimum resource occupation,minimum environmental impact,best operation benefit and most scientific use of the Yangtze River coastline,this paper demonstrates the function,scale,site selection and construction scheme of the base,and obtains the construction recommendation scheme of arranging Huarong Base (supporting Hongshantou Coal Terminal) and Yueyang Base (supporting Nanyang Island Coal Terminal) at the same time,which provides decision-making basis for promoting the construction of Hunan Province’s coal rail-water intermodal transport reserve base.
