Suggestions on promoting the development of container transportation in China

in the 1950s, China officially launched the pilot transportation of containers. After more than half a century, container transportation as a means of transportation has swept the world. Container transportation has had a far-reaching impact on the development of the world economy. Since China's reform and opening up, container transportation has been favored by customers and businesses with its convenience, efficiency, safety and environmental protection, and has a rapid development momentum. According to relevant data, at present, China is one of the largest exporters of container goods in the world, which is expected to reach 18.6 million tons by the end of 2005, becoming a major container trading country accounting for nearly 1/4 of the world's container exports. However, under the impact of economic globalization and China's entry into WTO, it also faces many challenges. Therefore, how to understand the current situation of China's container transportation and analyze the future development direction of China's container transportation has become an important topic of great concern in China's economic circles

favorable factors for the development of container transportation in China

1. The development of market economy is the main driving force for the continuous development of container transportation in China. In the fourth quarter of the 20th century, the order volume of injection molding machines fell by nearly 5 percentage points compared with the same period in 2012. In the era, the sea small container transportation carried out on the Sino Japanese route is China's container transportation (1) with low density, low thermal conductivity and a wide range, usually only a few MV. Assuming that we directly stop measuring this signal and use temperature transportation, it is an important sign of the official start. From then on to today, looking at the development of container transportation in China, it is not difficult for us to draw such a conclusion: economy drives consumption; Economic development determines transportation development. This is a hard truth. In recent years, with the continuous in-depth development of China's market economy, the national economy has maintained a strong momentum of sustained, healthy and rapid growth. In 2004, China's GDP exceeded 13 trillion yuan. Experts predict that China's GDP will be close to 20 trillion yuan by 2010. In a country with a vast territory and uneven distribution of resources, we have reason to believe that economic development was the prerequisite and driving force for the development of container transportation in the past, and will continue to be the main driving force for the development of container transportation in the future

2. The development and expansion of China's foreign trade is the direct reason for the development of container transportation. With China's accession to the WTO and the acceleration of economic globalization, China's trade with countries and regions around the world has become increasingly frequent; The volume of trade business has increased year by year. In recent years, China's annual export growth rate to major trading partners has always remained above 20%. As a "light cavalry" in the marine and water transportation industry, container transportation plays an increasingly important role in promoting the growth of China's foreign trade business. In addition, China's vast geographical characteristics and natural environment have also provided material conditions for the development of container transportation, and in recent years, the development of China's shipping industry and highways has provided a huge demand market for container transportation

3. The construction of container ports in China is the reality and future guarantee for the development of container transportation. International experience shows that the development of container transportation cannot be separated from the construction of container ports, so port construction is a very important prerequisite for container transportation. For example, Hong Kong and Singapore have always been the world's largest container ports, which has laid the foundation for the rapid development of their container transportation. In recent years, the construction of container ports in China has become one of the countries with rapid development in the world. The hardware facilities of Ningbo, Shanghai, Tianjin and other ports have been greatly improved, which greatly improves the throughput of containers in China and provides a realistic and future guarantee for the rapid development of container transportation

4. The policy guidance of our government is an important condition to promote the development of container transportation. Since the 1960s, western developed countries have attached great importance to the development of container transportation, and the later export-oriented countries such as Japan and South Korea have taken the development of container transportation as the supporting condition for the development of foreign trade. Therefore, after the reform and opening up, China has learned and absorbed the experience of developed countries, actively planned infrastructure together, won the support and cooperation of international organizations, and given many preferential conditions in policy. Especially in the 1990s, the Chinese government began to participate in various international rules and conventions suitable for the development of containers, and formulated and improved a series of relevant policies and regulations, which effectively promoted the development of container transportation in China. Moreover, due to the development of container transportation, the prospect of port economy and port industry is very attractive, forming a benign interactive relationship, which has attracted the further attention of the Chinese government and overseas investment. According to the industrial policy guidelines, in the coming period, the Chinese government will still support and promote the development of container transportation in terms of policies, which is undoubtedly the greatest benefit to China's container transportation

factors affecting the development of container transportation in China

1. The development of container ports will become the first factor affecting the development of container transportation in China in the future. Port is an important node of modern logistics supply chain and logistics network. Under the background of global economic integration, the logistics volume of world trade through ports shows a geometric growth trend. Data shows that more than 90% of China's foreign trade logistics volume depends on ports. Although the construction of container transportation ports in China has made great achievements in recent years, it still can not meet the needs of economic development and foreign trade development. At present, China's coastal ports lack large-scale, deep-water and efficient specialized berths, the port container berthing capacity is insufficient, the water depth of the main ports and important sea ports is seriously insufficient, and the modern transportation equipment such as containers and refrigerators are also obviously insufficient. From the perspective of software, China's port restructuring is slow, and the phenomena of indiscriminate government and enterprise, excessive concentration, and excessive unification have not been completely eliminated. There is still a huge gap in the management capacity of container ports compared with Singapore port and Hong Kong port. Therefore, the attraction to container liners is not strong

2. The collection and distribution capacity of container trunk ports is the second factor affecting the development of container transportation in China in the future. As a hub, the port mainly plays a role of communication. The key factor affecting container transportation is the turnover speed in addition to the amount of resources. Therefore, we must pay attention to the construction of port hinterland, including the layout of port industry. Only in this way can the inland collection and distribution capacity be correspondingly improved. However, at present, the collection and distribution capacity of China's major ports is still very insufficient, and the development speed of container integrated transportation and multimodal transportation is far from meeting the needs of the market. The improvement of the collection and distribution capacity of container trunk ports requires close cooperation and optimization and integration of various transportation modes, but at present, the optimization and combination of various transportation modes in China is not ideal. It is generally believed that railway transportation should undertake the transportation of goods over 200 kilometers. However, according to the relevant statistical analysis this year, the completion of highway collection and distribution accounts for more than 80%, waterway accounts for about 10%, and railway accounts for only 2% - 3%. In addition, at present, the distribution of container collection and distribution transit stations in China as a whole is uneven, showing a pattern of "more in the East, less in the west, more along the coast and less inland". It can be seen that integrating the existing transportation resources, optimizing the container collection and distribution capacity, and accelerating the turnover speed and volume are an important way to promote the development of container transportation in China in the future

suggestions for promoting the development of container transportation in China

suggestion 1: government departments should start from the macro layout, according to the functional positioning of container transportation, make a reasonable layout, unify and coordinate, and promote the sustainable, stable and rapid development of container transportation in China. China is a country with a long coastline, on which dozens of ports are distributed. In recent years, China's ports have made great progress, but at the same time, many problems have been exposed. The most thorny problems are the inaccurate positioning of the port, small and comprehensive, blind comparison, pursuit of complete functions, indiscriminate investment, unsmooth management system, difficulty in coordinating the interests of all parties, slow action, and so on. The only way to solve these problems is for the government to make unified planning and coordinate solutions from both legal and policy aspects. As we all know, container transportation is a new type of freight transportation involving various modes of transportation, and the most important thing is integration. The components and improvement of container collection and distribution system are of great significance to the development of container transportation, because only by reducing ballast, port pressure, revitalizing circulation and reducing operating costs, can we improve the brand operation ability of container transportation and attract more ships to enter the port and dock. Therefore, government departments should strengthen management, fully exercise administrative means, focus on solving the overall problems in container transportation, completely break the port mode of "feudal economy, each acting in its own way", guide and help the container transportation market to price reasonably, and ensure and regulate the development of China's container transportation industry in the future through legal system and policies

suggestion 2: we should pay attention to and increase the construction of container ports and attract large tonnage and large transportation companies to join. At present, many container ports in China have insufficient channel water depth, which can not meet the requirements of large ships. In addition, China's container ports still have few professional berths, unreasonable wharf structure layout and other situations. In many container ports, there are also low international standardization, low operation capacity, many port pressure phenomena, serious waste of transport capacity and other phenomena. Port is the window of foreign trade business, an important hub of logistics, and also the base of container development in the ascendant. Its operation efficiency and handling capacity have a great impact on the future development of container transportation. At a time when the major ports in the world are moving towards function, efficiency and automation, China's port construction will fall behind if it does not advance. Only by actively accelerating the pace of construction, using various high and new technologies, and striving to realize the modernization of ports, can it be more conducive to the development of container transportation
