China, the world's largest coal consumer, is seeing a surge in coal imports amid rising domestic demand.
Customs data shows in the first quarter of this year, the country imported over 100 million tons of coal and lignite, up 96 percent from a year ago.
China will continue its zero-tariff policy on coal imports until the end of the year, which is expected to increase imports even further.
At a port in east China's Fujian Province, a cargo ship unloads over 70,000 tons of coal.
Due to the zero-tariff policy, Chinese coal importers can save nearly 580,000 U.S. dollars in taxes.
Meanwhile, domestic coal mines are taking measures to improve coal output and supplies.
According to the China National Coal Association, the country's raw coal output hit roughly 1 billion tons in Q1, up 5.5 percent year on year.
