It's only in China, but the delivery place of commodities is mostly in Singapore, especially the delivery place of commodities listed on China Futures Exchange is mostly in Singapore. The main reason is that the transit port is a logistics center with a large inflow and outflow, and the logistics center is a capital flow center. If funds can freely enter and exit for delivery transactions, free trade needs the support of free finance. However, China is not a city-state like Singapore, and there is no way to open it up because of the national financial risks. Therefore, foreign goods cannot or cannot be transshipped and delivered in Shanghai. Therefore, the focus of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone experiment is financial customs clearance.
In the shipping industry, the freight rate of big ships is much lower than that of small ships, and shippers want to use big ships; On the other hand, because the ship is too big, the destination of the goods on board is often not single. For example, when it comes to shipment, there are no buyers for some goods, and it is impossible to load 654.38 million tons below 200,000 tons, so the freight will go up. Then the shipowner must choose to transport the goods to Singapore for 300,000 tons, then transfer them to two different destination ports for 65,438+10,000 tons, and the rest will be traded in the Singapore trading market with free trade zone policy.
Since most of the goods passing through Malacca come from China, Japan and South Korea, and Shanghai Port is much closer to Japan and South Korea than Singapore, this not only means that transshipment in Shanghai is more economical, but also greatly reduces the transportation cost for domestic enterprises. Free trade zone policy is the premise of realization. The significance of Shanghai Free Trade Zone is not only logistics, but also a platform for goods trading. It also means pricing power and resource allocation power, and brings millions of high-quality jobs and huge business opportunities, especially for the current employment situation.
2. Zhoushan in Ningbo. Although Shanghai has the most ideal geographical location, as the leader of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, its radiation effect is also extremely obvious.
River-sea combined transport can cross the Yangtze River directly to Changsha, Wuhan and other central areas, with complete commercial facilities, which is very suitable for establishing a national shipping center. However, the port conditions of Shanghai Hekou Port are far from meeting the requirements of a shipping center, so Shanghai leased Yangshan Island from Zhejiang and built an artificial deep-water port in the open sea. As the best port in the Yangtze River Delta, Ningbo Beilun Port, backed by Zhejiang's developed economy, still achieved the third port throughput in Chinese mainland and the top four in the world in 20 13. Yangshan Port and Ningbo Beilun Port are located at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, less than 80 kilometers apart. In the future, how to coordinate the top-level design and how to make a big cake together will be the key to whether Shanghai Port can become an international shipping and financial center and how to win regional integration.
3. Quanzhou. Quanzhou lies between Shanghai and Hong Kong. To some extent, it is synonymous with the rise and fall of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. The political and economic legacy left by the Maritime Silk Road to Quanzhou is real and huge. As the first hometown of overseas Chinese in China, Quanzhou has more than 7 million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and more than 40% of Taiwan Province compatriots are from Quanzhou. Based on the support of the United front or the historical and cultural soft power needed at the national level, it is inevitable to integrate Quanzhou's rich and scattered historical heritage.
More importantly, Quanzhou has a super deep-water port. For Quanzhou and Fujian, which are located in the main shipping routes, ships going north to Japan and South Korea all pass through here, and it is possible to get transit port opportunities at the national level in the future. The two basic conditions of transit ports are free trade zone policy and port conditions. Because of the sea,
The trend of shipping industry is becoming more and more obvious, and the demand for super good ports is becoming more and more urgent. Meizhou Bay and Ningbo Beilun Port are the natural deep-water ports that are most suitable as transit ports in the whole southeast coast. Deep-water ports are the natural geographical advantages of Quanzhou and Fujian, and Fujian also has super ports such as Meizhou Bay and Sandu 'ao. Among the comprehensive comparative advantages of several deep-water ports in Fujian, such as deep-water coastline, location and land behind the port, Meizhou Bay is the best choice. The south bank of Meizhou Bay belongs to Quanzhou, the economic center of Fujian with economic hinterland, so Meizhou Bay was planned as a long-term international transit port by the Ministry of Communications as early as 1990.
As an international transit port, it needs many supporting systems, such as berth, storage and maintenance, and also needs to rely on the deep-water coastline to develop the port-facing industry to maximize the value of the port. Naturally, the more land it needs, the better. To develop an international transit port, Fujian must take Meizhou Bay as the main port with the best comprehensive conditions, integrate the north and south ports, and enhance Fujian's position and competitiveness in the coastal economic belt with a number of ports with division of labor, which can also solve the problem of uneven development between the north and the south of Fujian Province.
4. Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Pearl River Delta Economic Circle is one of the most developed areas in China and one of the three growth poles in China. Guangdong is the frontier of reform and opening up.
China has always been the largest province in economy, facing the historic task of industrial transformation and upgrading. In the transition stage, the 2 1 Century Maritime Silk Road strategy will greatly promote and upgrade the port coverage and industrial upgrading in the Pearl River Delta. At the same time, Guangdong is also a big province of overseas Chinese and has long-term cultural ties with countries and regions along the route. This advantage will promote the strategic integration of Guangdong and the 2 1 century Maritime Silk Road.
