For open-pit production units such as Deo Nai - Coc Sau Coal Joint Stock Company - TKV, immediately after the storm passed on September 8, they quickly overcame the consequences of the storm, focusing on pumping out water from the mines with 16 pumping systems at Deo Nai and Coc Sau mines. Cao Son Coal Company resumed production on September 8, overcoming the consequences of the storm and producing immediately; on September 11, the company produced 2,240 tons of coal.
Coal warehouse, screening, processing and trading units also maintained the stability of the entire production system, promptly overcame the consequences of the storm and quickly resumed production.
Since the morning of September 11, Cua Ong Coal Selection Company - TKV has organized coal hauling from units in the Cam Pha area and exported the first tons of coal after storm No. 3. Cam Pha Port and Logistics Company, Cam Pha Coal Trading Company inspected and reviewed coal warehouses, both to overcome the consequences of the storm and to prepare coal resources to be ready to supply to power production and customers.
Up to this point, basically, the units in Cam Pha coal area have been supplied with electricity again to organize 3-shift production; the work to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 and heavy rain has also been urgently deployed to return production and business to normal operations, stabilizing jobs and lives for workers.
In the Western and Ha Long (Quang Ninh) units, including: Mao Khe Coal Company, Uong Bi, Nam Mau, Vang Danh, Hon Gai, Ha Lam, Ha Tu, Nui Beo. These are the main underground and open-pit production units with large mining output of TKV. The restoration of production is a bit slower due to the impact of grid power supply.
To maintain the operation of pumping stations, mines that have not been supplied with electricity or have unstable power supply such as Mao Khe, Uong Bi, Vang Danh, Hon Gai, Nui Beo, and Ha Lam Coal Companies all use large capacity generator systems.
Currently, TKV and its member units are making maximum efforts to gradually overcome all difficulties to soon stabilize production again.
