Experts expect that the construction of coal and iron ore wharf will be focused on in the next five years

Luo Ping, director of the Transportation Planning Research Office of the National Transportation Research Institute of the National Transportation Research Institute, recently said that in the next five years, the port layout of major cargo transportation systems such as coal, imported crude oil, imported iron ore, and containers will be improved. Construction of a class terminal.

At the International Dry Bulk Transportation Market Review Forum held in Shanghai, she pointed out that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period (2011-2015), China will focus on the construction of the Jinzhou Port, Tangshan Caofeidian, Tianjin Port, and Huanghua Port coal shipment terminals. The newly added northern coal shipment port coal terminal has a capacity of 310 million tons.

She also stated that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the planning capacity of the new large crude oil terminals and large iron ore wharfs was 100 million tons and 390 million tons, respectively, and the capacity for new container terminals through new construction and potential tapping reached 5, 8 million TEUs. In addition, China will also build seven new liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving stations in Dalian.

However, she also pointed out that the impact of the international financial crisis is still continuing, and that the Chinese economy is subject to structural adjustments due to factors such as resources and the environment. In the future, the high-growth era of the port shipping industry, especially the container port industry, has ended and will be quite long in the future. In time, the port industry will change its mode of development and maintain steady growth.

She predicts that, in the future, China's port cargo throughput will remain within 10% for quite a long period of time, and will be gradually driven by domestic and foreign trade before it is gradually shifted to domestic trade. Bulk bulk cargoes tend to grow slowly, and container growth will slow down significantly.

She said that because China still needs a large amount of imported raw materials, a new round of heavy industry will appear in the future to move eastward along the coast, and coastal ports will face development opportunities. Because the petroleum processing industry has not set a new point, the future crude oil terminal will basically expand in situ.
