On March 3, the Shandong provincial Party committee and the Shandong provincial government issued the action plan for the construction of a strong marine province (hereinafter referred to as the action plan), with nine action outlines, and strongly launched a new round of the construction of a strong marine province in Shandong. After combing through the whole article, it is not difficult to find that “port” has been mentioned more than 20 places in the action plan, and “action to promote world-class port construction” has been listed as one of the nine actions, showing an unusual weight.
Those with big boats have heavy responsibilities, while those with horses gallop far away. Facing the new opportunities, how should Shandong Port, which has ranked among the forefront of the world’s port clusters, follow the trend, take advantage of the trend, find the right Hangzhou Xzb Tech Co.Ltd(603040) , and hand in the new answer sheet?
land sea linkage – give play to the effectiveness of “chess eye” and “platform”
The action plan points out that it is necessary to “improve the comprehensive service function of port shipping, improve the port collection and distribution system, promote the extension of port distribution railway to storage yard and wharf”, and “promote the” four port linkage “of seaport and airport between Weihai and Incheon, South Korea”.
Wang Ming, director of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the national development and Reform Commission, believes that the port is not only the connection point of export, but also the connection point of import. We should build close industrial chain links along large channels and hubs, provide supply chain services, and finally create new value of the port and enter a new stage of port layout and development.
It goes without saying that the natural port of one belt, one road, Shandong port, is located in the sea and land. After more than two years of integrated reform, Shandong Port has gradually formed an integrated and coordinated development pattern of “taking Qingdao Port International Co.Ltd(601298) as the leader, Rizhao Port Co.Ltd(600017) , Yantai port as the two wings, Bohai Bay Port as the extension, various sector groups as the support and many inland ports as the support” around the world’s first-class marine port goal of “connecting ports to the four seas, connecting land and all sides, and reflecting the world”, The energy level of the port has been continuously improved. In 2021, the cargo throughput of Shandong Port exceeded 1.5 billion tons and the container volume exceeded 34 million TEUs, ranking first and third in the world year-on-year; The total number of routes exceeds 310, and the number and density rank first among ports in northern China; 26 inland ports have been developed and constructed, 76 sea rail intermodal trains have been opened, and the sea rail intermodal volume has exceeded 2.56 million TEUs, leading the coastal ports in China.
It is worth noting that, in addition to the accumulation of traditional main industries, Shandong Port has also established 12 professional sector groups such as finance and shipping with Hong Kong as the medium to promote the progressive upgrading from the industrial chain to the industrial ecological circle, improve the comprehensive service function of shipping, and attract more cargo flow, business flow, capital flow, information flow and the agglomeration of advantageous resources of port and shipping with the “siphon effect”. In 2021, the revenue and profit of emerging business of Shandong Port increased by 96.6% and 19.7% respectively year-on-year, showing vigorous vitality.
Relying on its strong strength, Shandong Port, as an important “bridgehead” of Shandong Province’s opening to the outside world, will continue to enlarge its functional advantages, highlight its pivotal role, and play a more important role in the new development pattern of “large cycle and double cycle”. Shandong Province, with a solid industrial foundation and a GDP of more than 8 trillion yuan, has chosen to further strengthen, optimize and expand Shandong ports, which has become the due meaning of promoting the high-quality development of Shandong economy.
deep integration – symbiosis and common prosperity of Hong Kong, industry and city
The action plan points out that it is necessary to “promote the in-depth integrated development of port, industry and city”, specifically “implement a new round of port infrastructure improvement projects, accelerate the construction of specialized wharfs, and promote the renewal and transformation of old port areas”.
Since its establishment, Shandong Port has taken the initiative to put forward “three more” and “three satisfaction”, inject the advantages of the port into the urban economy, and be a “gold partner” of urban economic development. Its performance is commendable. For example, with the support of the project, carry out strategic cooperation with 16 cities in Shandong Province; Actively integrate and actively connect with the starting area for the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in Jinan, the pilot area for the comprehensive reform of regional state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, and the RCEP Qingdao pilot innovation base for economic and trade cooperation, and accelerate the construction of Shandong international shipping center and Qingdao cruise home port start-up area; We accelerated the construction of distribution centers for consumer goods in northern China. China Norinco International Cooperation Ltd(000065) oil and gas center, Shandong Gangxin Futures Co., Ltd. and Shandong Gangyun Digital Technology Co., Ltd. were successfully unveiled. The import and export volume of foreign trade exceeded 2 trillion yuan, the cumulative tax payment was 3.986 billion yuan, and 1481 people were employed.
Recently, Shandong Port has launched a 10 billion investment port industry city integration project in Qingdao and Rizhao, indicating that Shandong port is making continuous efforts around port industry city integration in the new year. It is understood that in the next step, Shandong port also plans to actively integrate into the starting area of the transformation of new and old kinetic energy in Jinan, Shandong free trade zone and other functional areas, and continue to build a high-end development platform; Increase investment attraction and promote development with projects; Actively implement the transformation and upgrading of old port areas such as Qingdao Port International Co.Ltd(601298) Dagang Port Area, Yantai port zhifuwan port area and Rizhao Port Co.Ltd(600017) Shijiu port area east area, and accelerate the construction of Northeast Asia international container transportation hub and global important transfer and distribution base of energy and raw materials.
As Wu Zhiqiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, professor and doctoral supervisor of the school of architecture and urban planning of Tongji University, said, “ports and cities are linked, interactive and integrated. Cities are the strong support of ports and ports are the strong driving force of cities.” The close handshake between Shandong Port and cities in Shandong Province will inject blue economic momentum into more cities, from which Shandong port can also draw more resources and strength to move towards greater areas and deeper port city common prosperity.
technology empowerment – building an internationally leading smart green port
The plan points out that it is necessary to “deepen the pilot construction of smart ports, accelerate the construction of key projects such as automated terminals and smart management platforms”, “plan and implement the construction of offshore wind power in Shandong Province”, “establish a list of operational risks of dangerous goods in ports” and “build a smart, green and safe port”, It also draws a node line for Shandong Port standard to realize “specialization of dry bulk cargo above 50000 tons and basic automation of wharf operation”, “the proportion of clean energy and new energy in the port reaches 60%, and the throughput of port goods and containers reaches 2 billion tons and 40 million TEUs respectively” by 2025.
Zhang Baochen, executive vice president of the Chinese society of navigation, believes that “intelligent and digital ports are the inevitable trend of development. At present, there is still potential for port and shipping production efficiency. It will be difficult to participate in international market competition without reducing costs and improving efficiency through digitization and intellectualization.”
In fact, over the past two years, as the first “smart port construction pilot” unit of transportation power in China, Shandong Port has achieved remarkable results with innovation as the “key variable” and technology enabled port. For example, Shandong Port has deeply cooperated with high-tech leading enterprises such as Huawei, sap and Alibaba cloud to create the top-level design of “1 + n” smart port in the industry, Qingdao Port International Co.Ltd(601298) fully automated container terminal intelligent air rail (demonstration section) has been completed, and Rizhao Port Co.Ltd(600017) coastal open fully automated container terminal has been successfully put into operation, Yantai port’s “full system, full process and full automation”, the world’s first specialized terminal control technology for dry bulk cargo, was officially released, the world’s first automatic gantry crane of Bohai Bay Port was officially put into operation, the paperless container management system was popularized and applied in China’s brother ports, and the promotion of “scenery hydrogen storage”, “intelligent brain”, “cloud ecological platform” and “5g blockchain” was accelerated.
In today’s Shandong Port, technical transformation projects such as automated guided vehicle, unmanned pole, unmanned bridge slab head and intelligent tally are widely used, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of employees, and the separation of man and machine on the wharf makes the intrinsic safety more guaranteed. Especially during the epidemic prevention and control period, “intelligent washing box Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) “, intelligent ladder gate duty equipment and other epidemic prevention “black technologies” played an important role.
In the field of green, low-carbon and environmental protection, Shandong Port took the lead in breaking the top-level design of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutralization” of the port. Efficiently promote the application of clean energy, sign contracts with national energy and Guohua Energy to promote offshore wind power, and build Shandong offshore wind power home port, comprehensive smart energy industry demonstration port and “carbon peak” and “carbon neutralization” green demonstration port; Green environmental protection projects such as “hydrogen energy, hydrogen power”, oil and electricity tugs, power exchange heavy trucks, wharf shore power system and port charging pile construction continued to be promoted.
After more than two years of accumulation, Shandong port is building an internationally leading smart green port in the field of “achievements, experience and demonstration”. Its development direction and ideas are highly consistent with the action plan and have broad prospects.
The market takes advantage of the strong trend and opens a new situation. With the gradual implementation of the action plan for building a strong marine province, it can be predicted that Shandong Port will inevitably speed up the construction of world-class marine ports and provide a stronger blue driving force for a strong marine province and even a powerful marine country.
