The cargo throughput of national ports increased by 8.3% year on year
Recently, the Ministry of transport announced the cargo and container throughput of the port in November. From January to November, the cargo throughput of ports across the country reached 12717.08 million tons, up 8.3% year on year. The foreign trade cargo throughput is 3964.74 million tons, up 4.7% year on year, and the container throughput is 239.5 million TEU, up 4.5% year on year. In November, the container throughput of Shanghai Port exceeded 40 million TEU, a year-on-year increase of 4.1%. In 2018, the container throughput of Shanghai Port completed 42.01 million TEU. At present, it is not a big problem for Shanghai port to break its own record again in 2019, and it will continue to maintain its stable position as the world's largest container throughput port. In addition to steadily improving throughput, Shanghai port is also gradually increasing investment in "port + technology". On November 4, Shanghai port group and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will jointly explore the application and promotion of Internet of things, 5g communication technology, vehicle road collaboration (c-v2x), artificial intelligence, network security, big data and cloud computing and other high technologies in the port and shipping field, especially in the construction of smart ports. In the future, Shanghai port will also maintain a leading position in scientific and technological innovation, in addition to its superior throughput. On November 22, the container throughput of Ningbo Zhoushan port also exceeded 25 million TEU, nearly 20 days ahead of the breakthrough of "25 million TEU" in 2018. Since the beginning of this year, the port of Zhoushan in Ningbo has developed a number of routes along the "one belt and one way" area.
The total number of related routes has reached 88, and the total volume of containers is 10 million TEUs, accounting for 40% of the total container throughput. At the same time, Ningbo Zhoushan port has also actively built excellent routes for its internal branch lines, explored business potential such as scattered, transformed and integrated, and achieved steady growth in its internal branch lines and domestic trade lines. In the future, container business will still be one of the biggest competition points between Ningbo Zhoushan port and Shanghai port. In terms of container throughput data, Beibu Gulf port, with a year-on-year growth of 34.5%, ranked 14th nationwide with a throughput of 3.42 million TEU in November. Since the release of the master plan of the new land sea channel in the west, Beibu Gulf port has been fully developed in the new opportunities. On November 27, COSCO Shipping invested 800 million yuan to invest in Beibu Gulf port. In addition, the second phase of Qinzhou port east channel expansion project has also started construction. After completion, it will meet the conditions for 200000 ton large container ships to enter and leave Beibu Gulf port, and the core competitiveness of Beibu Gulf port will be further improved. In November, the cargo throughput of Guangzhou port reached 554.52 million tons, an increase of 11.4% year on year. On November 12, Guangzhou merchants roll on and roll off Transportation Co., Ltd. was unveiled; on November 20, the first batch of roll on and roll off export second-hand vehicles set sail in Guangzhou port, with the export volume and value of goods being the most since China started the pilot business of second-hand vehicle export. As the largest professional ro ro vehicle hub port in South China, Guangzhou port has mature ro ro business and relatively dense routes. Yingkou Port's throughput has not stopped falling.
In November, the cargo throughput reached 216.55 million tons, down 37.1% year on year. Since the integration of self operated port and port joined liaogang group, the decline of its throughput has not been effectively controlled. On November 13, liaogang group was considered by the CSRC to interfere with the operation of Yingkou port, and its business division system model was questioned. Under the pressure of improving throughput, liaogang group needs to adjust the integration mode reasonably according to the current situation. For liaogang group, integration will be a process of continuous exploration and experiment. In November, the cargo throughput of Zhenjiang port reached 296.53 million tons, an increase of 117.8% year on year, the seventh month in which the cargo throughput doubled continuously. The cargo throughput of Zhenjiang port has increased rapidly from obscurity to skyrocketing. From the perspective of goods varieties, bulk goods such as metal ore, coal, chemical raw materials and products have shown rapid growth, with large import and large export, fast import and fast export, which have laid wings for the development of foreign trade economy. From the perspective of port business environment, the upgrading and transformation of "single window" ship system, transport tool function and cargo declaration function have been completed, and the full coverage of business declaration has been achieved to promote the opening of port terminals. Near the end of the year, the national port throughput ranking changes little, but the growth difference between the north and South ports is gradually obvious. Yingkou port, Dalian port and other northern ports fell endlessly, Zhenjiang port, Beibu Gulf port and other southern ports soared to the sky. According to the port circle, the ports in the north and south of China have taken on the trend of business travel alienation. In the future, there may be significant differences between them in terms of organizational structure and operation mode.
