"Notes must mention their needs, and rumors must hook their mystery."

          The method of reading Han Yu’s “Hot Xuan Xuan” is also applicable to port research! In 2017, the port industry in China has six major port events that should be watched and waiting to be explored.

          Container ship enlargement

          In recent years, the trend of large-scale and even large-scale container ships is very obvious. It can be seen that the biggest advantage of large-scale container ships is the economies of scale. However, the water depth, loading and unloading efficiency, and collection and distribution conditions of many ports in the world do not meet the requirements for large-scale container ships, which is not only not conducive to large-scale The economies of scale of container ships have also presented severe challenges to the port. In this regard, the port can not respond passively, should be based on its own operating environment, development goals and optimization calculations, in accordance with the principle of moderate advancement, review the situation to develop a port response strategy.

          Decommissioning

          2016 is the first year for China to promote structural reforms on the supply side. In this year, as one of the five key tasks of “three to one, one reduction and one supplement”, the de-capacity has already begun to bear fruit. In 2017, the capacity will be expanded in addition to steel and coal. Some areas with low capacity utilization and serious excess capacity will be included in the scope of capacity reduction. China’s port industry’s de-capacity battle has begun, and although the results are somewhat heavy, it is gestating hope.

          Port resource integration

          The integration of port resources has been further deepened, especially the release of new resource integration plans in Jiangsu, Liaoning and Hainan. With the advancement of port resources integration, it is necessary to further rationalize the relevant management system and clarify the responsibilities of various departments. Clean up and abolish various regulations and practices that hinder the unified market and fair competition of national ports, and stop regional protection and corporate monopoly behavior that may be brought about by the integration of port resources. How to make a good "resource integration" game has a long way to go.

          Port charge reform

          Since the beginning of 2014, the port charging policy reform has been carried out in a series of heavy-duty, involving a wide range of subjects such as port and shipping enterprises, cargo owners, tugboat companies, and piloting agencies. So far, the industry still holds different opinions on port charges: Some people think that although the port charge reform has lowered the fees for some projects, the actual port charges have not decreased, and China’s terminal loading and unloading fees far exceed those of other countries. There is a view that the port charges are numerous and the fees for the port are not high. Facts speak louder than words, and in the end, this issue will give an answer this year.

          Port transformation and upgrading

          The transformation and upgrading of the port is a long-term and sustainable topic. Although all ports in China are actively undergoing transformation and upgrading, it can be seen that the transformation and upgrading of China's ports is still on the way.

          Port regional cooperation

          One of the themes of the “Belt and Road” strategy is to expand the space for regional cooperation. With the integration of port logistics in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the formation of regional port integration trends, the “Belt and Road” construction of the northern ports is also showing a pattern of regional cooperation. how to cooperate? How to develop? Let us wait and see!
