"Along the way" continues forward, how to deal with the port business?

Although China's coastal port throughput ranked first in the world, but still in the first generation of shipping center development stage to production factors, the main shipping base, lack of soft power, weak sustainability. With the country "along the way" initiative progresses, corporate restructuring and upgrading port usher in a huge development opportunities. So, port enterprises how to seize the opportunity, innovation and development?

      At present, China has become the world's manufacturing center, the world's first port throughput, but the overall economy is still in the investment-driven stage, in the first generation of port and shipping center development stage to production factors, mainly based shipping, remains soft power lack of sustainability is weak, insufficient convergence coastal inland, city interaction is weak, a single port operating mode and other issues.

     Like city interaction is weak, a single port operating mode

     Port of soft power shortage

     China's port cargo handling in business-oriented, trade-dependent hinterland strength and competitiveness of local industries, port throughput easily with the transfer of production and manufacturing center of the transfer, sustainable development is weak.

     China's port compared with elements of the world shipping center, shipping services, finance, legal, insurance and other industrial chain, there are still a wide gap. In Shanghai, for example, although container throughput in the world's first, but according to "Xinhua - Baltic and International Maritime Centers Development Index (2016)," Shanghai international shipping center in the world top ten ranked sixth.

     China's port still widespread and disorderly competition, the construction of relative surplus overlapping hinterland, cargo single economic structure homogeneity, mutual cooperation and coordination and less problems. 2015 national port cargo throughput ranked in the top ten, Tangshan Port, Tianjin Port, Yantai, Qingdao Port, Rizhao port transport coal and ore are basic products and other bulk materials based.

     Coastal and inland Cohesion enough

     "Along the way" initiative to strengthen the East and West open two-way pattern, but because of the existing port location, industry, foreign trade advantages in the future for a long period of time, the eastern coastal areas will remain an important position in China's opening up, its Cohesion and inland areas will obviously not enough.

     Mainly as follows: the eastern coastal port of iron, the proportion of low-water-water transit, collection and distribution rely mainly on roads, which greatly limits the scope of the hinterland. For example, 67% of Tianjin Port bulk cargo, containers 98% rely on road transport, rail transportation serious shortage, port hinterland narrow range, about 70% of the bulk, more than 80% of the container supply from the region of Beijing, Tianjin, the port Northwest lack of drive; Shanghai Railway Container Delivery amount only 1%, the use of transhipment cargo Yangtze River only 8%, Jianghai transport advantages not effectively play, resulting in Shanghai more than 90% are concentrated in containerized cargo Yangtze River Delta region. USA and Hong Kong Los Angeles Railway Container as high as 43 percent, Hamburg, Germany, Hong Kong also has 30% of the container dependent on rail transport. Coupled with the country, the export-oriented traffic restricted the western region, the opening is not high, lower international trade, uneven regional development.

     Port operations is narrow

     At present, most of our business focus on the port port-related areas to cargo handling, logistics, warehousing, shipbuilding based, single mode operation, narrow business side, clients are mostly based in the country in the region. Hong Kong and Hutchison Whampoa owns 29 marina in the world, 162 berths in mainland China, Hong Kong and the proportion of the global shipping trade were 50%, 25% and 14%. The group by establishing a global network port operators, dominant position in the container business. This model is worth learning.

     "Along the way" initiative will boost the bi-coastal inland open. This can not only enhance the level of opening up the eastern, western turn accelerate the pace of opening up, strengthen interoperability, build inland, coastal and border fully open pattern. Among them, the market regulation play a decisive role in the allocation of resources, it is China's port development need to focus on solving problems.

     opportunity

     Accelerate the pace of global operations to promote bi-coastal inland open

     "Along the way" initiative is China's participation in economic globalization and regional economic integration of the inevitable choice. Under the background of economic globalization, the maritime economic development plays an important supporting role. The current international trade volume of more than 2/3 of the total paid by marine transport, more than 80 percent of global economic output is concentrated in the coastal hinterland range of 200 kilometers. 2013 China has become the world's first trading power cargo, seaborne cargo trade volume accounted for about 65% of China's total foreign trade, and more than 90% of foreign trade cargo by sea to complete.

     Therefore, global Perspective, "along the way" initiative will promote the advantages of resources of foreign export of capital to accelerate our participation in the global focus of the port go out port construction pace of operations; national Perspective, which will open a two-way along the coast inland, optimization urbanization the overall pattern, speed up industrial restructuring and upgrading, promote the central and western complementary and coordinated development, through the development of marine economy, port development to service-oriented, knowledge-port mode transition, to further enhance the level of opening up the east.

     Meanwhile, the new urbanization strategy for port development opportunities to upgrade. Over the past 30 years, China's use of low labor costs, low environmental costs, low land cost to gain a competitive advantage in the international industrial transfer. However, due to the high cost of logistics, high transaction costs, high production costs of the services, resulting in a competitive advantage of Chinese enterprises getting smaller and smaller, especially the cost of logistics enterprises in a percentage of sales up to 20% -40% in developed countries only 9.5% -10%. Today, the state proposed new urbanization strategy is required as the main form of urban population in large cities to optimize the structure of the internal space, and promote compact urban development, building a "two vertical and three horizontal" strategic pattern of urbanization, promote urbanization pattern more optimized. This requires the port to further develop international shipping capabilities, support national open, while driving in central and western inland areas and Hong Kong City Transformation.

     In this process, the port development to keep pace with changing the relationship between the government market. Both to create a market economy era government assume power list, the list of responsibilities, the negative list of enterprises to bear the pattern, while the use of economic instruments to guide the market, the redistribution of resources according to market demand and supply changes caused by price changes, the formation of structurally diverse port development mode, ordered through inter-port competition, to improve port services.

     Port overall layout and function of major national economic industrial layout, the urban spatial patterns combine to promote shipping center to a service-oriented, knowledge-based change and improve the collection and distribution system, and expand the economic hinterland port, port to play an effective support to national urbanization strategy . The ports and other major transport infrastructure and industrial distribution, spatial structure of three highly synergistic, interactive integration of the city to Hong Kong Hing, Hing Hong Kong as the city; analyze the industrial chain in the global organization, spatial agglomeration processes such as the basic rules of market economy, the promotion of port industries along the information technology, high value-added direction; play a decisive role of the market in allocating resources to develop a diversified cross-border operations.

     Way out

     Multiple cross-border co-operation Sunshine City Development

     And "along the way" initiative combined shipping promotion centers, and promoting the port of "going out" pace

Under the background of new urbanization, port development to grasp the shipping service industry chain, stronger port services, shipping and other shipping industry, shipping industry aids the integration, expanding shipping services derived from the transfer to a higher value-added smiling curve at both ends; enhance the proportion of international transit, strengthening international shipping flow, improve navigation policy environment to enhance the attractiveness; accelerate the development of high-end transport services, to promote the free trade area, expand the shipping finance, gathering representatives nurture globally competitive levels of shipping high-end talent.

     - Promote Port Group functional class, complementary advantages. Overall domestic ports development, focusing on overall functional class coastal port, near the port and the Asia-Pacific dislocation competition, while focusing on a reasonable division of labor within the port group, dislocation development, complementary advantages.

     - In the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, into the global shipping system. Encourage port go abroad to participate in the focus of the port construction, operation, and actively integrate into the global shipping system to meet the import and export trade and import demand of energy resources, eliminate safety hazards of ocean passage, provided the fulcrum of logistics for international trade.
Combined with the new national urbanization strategy, improve the collection and distribution system, and promote joint development of Hong Kong City

     - Improve the collection and distribution system, and promote water-water transit, hot metal transfer. With the state "along the way" initiative, along the Yangtze River Economic Belt region should give full play to support the role of inland water transport, rail transport to port transport, expanding the port hinterland, central and western development drive.

     - "City to Hong Kong Hing, with Hong Kong as the city." Exploration and innovation, "Hong Kong - City" Space orderly opening, effective management model, relying on the global industrial chain, port organizations, represented by the global transport network, the whole value chain of industrial division network, urban agglomeration spatial network formed port city agglomeration effect, achieve Lingang industrial land and urban spaces livable and harmonious development. Promote the use of the port city development, improve the attractiveness of the city to promote the concentration of talent, service port and port industry, competition in the global shipping.

     - Lingang industrial transformation and upgrading. Traditional port industries only create manufacturing clusters, expanding the port hinterland is insufficient to support the sustainable development of the port. Future development should rely on the port container terminal and port processing zones, the use of modern logistics and distribution chain ports formed in the process, using modern concepts and information processing tools, construction of logistics parks, established distribution capabilities, to build an international logistics center. Information technology as a platform, financial, business, design, information, intermediary and other modern service industry and port industry (shipping and logistics) network-based interaction, expand service areas of the port, enhance the added value services. Promoting industrial innovation, optimize the industrial environment, support the development needs of high-end services.

     Combined with the market allocation of resources, and promote cross-border Diversified Business

     Learn from the advanced mode of developed countries on the management, port administration and public infrastructure by the government responsible for the development and operation of infrastructure, port handling operations and pilotage, towing and other port operations assisted by the enterprise management, expand investment and financing channels, the introduction of competition, Improve efficiency. At the same time, through innovative management system and business strategy, opening up the field of Diversified Business, widening the port function.

     In "along the way" initiative and the national new urbanization background, use of port transportation services to create new applications, the new value of the enterprise is the future port operators winner. Implement transportation, industry, joint development of the three elements of the concept of space and achieve complementarity between functional infrastructure, build a diversified capital structure is "along the way" important initiative under way in the future development of the port industry.
