The construction of the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone is a major strategic opportunity for Weihai, and the whole city has a high degree of consensus on this. How to take advantage of the general trend and gain the upper hand? Weihai quickly established a blue economic zone leadership group headed by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor. The Weihai Municipal Party Committee held on June 8 proposed a strategic plan to accelerate the construction of six major marine economic bases. In line with the province's plan and combined with Weihai's actual situation, Weihai will focus on promoting six marine economic industries involving traditional industries, emerging industries and high-tech industries, including seafood production and processing, port logistics, shipbuilding, coastal leisure tourism, new energy, and petrochemicals. develop. Currently, “blue economy” offices including the National Development and Reform Commission, Ocean and Fisheries Bureau, etc. are in the process of detailed preparations. Weihai, named after the sea, is famous for its coastline, which is nearly a thousand kilometers long, accounting for one-third of the province. The blue territory on the sea is almost twice that of the land. It is rich in offshore biological resources, has excellent port construction conditions, and has clean energy. It has huge development potential, beautiful natural scenery along the coast and obvious location advantages. With these unique advantages, the scientific development of marine resources in Weihai City has achieved initial results, and the marine economy has developed into a pillar industry of Weihai's national economy. The six major industries, including seafood production and processing, port logistics, shipbuilding, coastal leisure tourism, new energy, and petrochemicals, have a solid foundation and unlimited potential. Actively integrating into the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone, Weihai is poised for development... With outstanding advantages, the fishery economy is striving to climb towards high-end industries. "Weihai's long coastline is dotted with headlands and bays. The coastline is zigzag, intertwined with headlands and bays, with a depth of 15 meters, etc." The area of ??shallow seas and tidal flats within the deep line reaches more than 3 million acres. The adjacent sea area is located at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. It is the only place for many economic fish and shrimps in the two sea areas to spawn, overwinter, feed, and migrate. "In the city's ocean and fishery. In the eyes of Li Guojin, deputy director of the bureau, Weihai has resources, industrial and technological advantages that other coastal cities cannot match in developing its fishery economy. In 1991, Shandong Province proposed the cross-century development strategy of “developing half of the country and building maritime Shandong” and began the process of marching into the ocean to develop and build blue territories. The most significant achievements in more than ten years are undoubtedly the traditional fishery economy. Last year, the city achieved an output of 2.05 million tons of aquatic products. The main indicators of the fishery economy accounted for about one-third of the province's total, ranking first among domestic prefecture-level cities for many years. Weihai's special geographical location determines superior marine environmental conditions, and its remarkable climate characteristics breed rich marine biological resources. Sea cucumbers, kelp, and oysters produced in Weihai have all obtained geographical indication trademarks and agricultural product geographical indication certifications, and have a high reputation in the country. Weihai also has the province's largest offshore fishing fleet, the country's important mariculture base and the country's largest seafood processing base. The production of sea cucumbers and kelp ranks first in the country. By following the path of large-scale development and group operation, Weihai has emerged as a group of leading fishery enterprises. There are more than 40 fishery enterprises in the city with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan. "Over the years, these leading enterprises have actively explored and boldly developed, and accumulated certain experience in developing high-end fisheries, paving the way and building a platform for the next development. This is the most prominent advantage of Weihai in developing high-end fisheries." Li Guojin could not hide his inner pride and longing for the future. "The blue economic zone should be an ecological open economy. As a traditional industry of Weihai's marine economy, under the balance of the big lever of the market, Weihai's fishery industry should scientifically adjust to famous and high-quality breeding, ocean fishing and intensive processing of seafood. Weihai For the fishery industry to continue its glorious history of “dominating the province,” the key is to optimize the fishery structure and improve the industrial level and regional competitiveness.” While highlighting his advantages, Li Guojin also pointed out the “shortcomings” of Weihai’s fishery development. Opinion: Compared with the high-end fishery economy at home and abroad, Weihai fishery is generally at the end of the industrial chain, especially in terms of high efficiency and intensification, industrial competitiveness and ecology, there is still a certain gap. Integrating into the blue economic zone, the key to Weihai's fishery development is to transform from scale expansion to quality and efficiency. Only in this way will Weihai's fishery continue to make great achievements.

"Currently, Weihai is accelerating the transformation of marine aquaculture from traditional species to marine treasures, the fishing industry from offshore to offshore, and the processing of seafood from rough processing to intensive processing. Relying on various fishery economic zones, Weihai is actively adjusting its industrial structure. Focus on developing brand fisheries, guide various regions to register product quality certification marks, develop pelagic fisheries to establish the dominant position of pelagic fisheries, strive to increase the proportion of deep processing output value to more than 80% by 2012, and build a modern port logistics area with its own characteristics Weihai is located in the center of the Northeast Asia Economic Circle and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle. It is connected to the inland Beijing and Tianjin to the west, faces Japan and South Korea across the sea to the east, and reaches the Yangtze River Delta to the south. This unique land and sea area radiates. The location advantage shows a bright future for the vigorous development of Weihai's port logistics. More importantly, Weihai is rich in port resources, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the port headland is neither frozen nor silted, and the geological conditions of the coastline are stable, making it suitable for the construction of large-scale dedicated terminals. and 10,000-ton level. The development of the port logistics industry focuses on the land hinterland. Weihai’s past disadvantages of a small land hinterland and the bottleneck of “terminal transportation” that restricted port development are quietly changing with the rapid development of the export-oriented economy. , Weihai has gradually formed an industrial system with transportation equipment, electronic information and other industrial groups as its pillars, and has built the country's largest production base for fishing gear, tires, medical polymers, etc., all of which have developed a strong bearing for the development of port logistics System. "In the context of the development of global economic integration, Weihai's disadvantage as the end of the land route is gradually evolving into China's frontier advantage in facing the world. Weihai has great potential in building a global large-scale logistics pattern. "Tang Zongling, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Weihai Port Co., Ltd., is very positive about the role of Weihai Port Logistics in the construction of the "Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone". "The implementation of the 'Blue Economic Zone' strategy allows us to stand at a higher level and broader Let’s examine the development of Weihai port logistics industry from a perspective. Undoubtedly, due to the constraints of complex factors such as historical reasons and changes in the international environment, we still need to vigorously tap our potential in terms of construction of carrying facilities, development of supply markets and awareness of modern services. "Tang Zongling said that especially now, maritime logistics has gradually shown the trend of large-scale transportation ships and containerization, which has put forward higher requirements for the comprehensive development of port logistics and also provided Weihai with a rare historical opportunity. In the past few years, With the implementation of the strategy of "revitalizing the port and strengthening the city", Weihai's port construction has developed rapidly, and there are currently 17 commercial ports. Currently, Weihai is focusing on the construction of Weihai Port as the center, Shidao Port and Longyan Port as the two wings, and Wendeng Nanhai New Port. , Rushankou Port as a complementary port system. In the construction of each port, Weihai focuses on its own characteristics and strives to achieve dislocation competition. As a regional central port, Weihai Port will use containers, energy transportation, oil product transshipment, and passenger and cargo ro-ro. , vehicle logistics and other functions, Weihai has built a large-scale modern comprehensive port area with advanced facilities and complete functions. Relying on the port foundation, Weihai also gives full play to its advantages of being adjacent to South Korea and Japan and has opened 21 international and domestic routes, insisting on both passenger and freight transportation, and offshore. At present, Weihai is accelerating the pace of integrating port resources and is focusing on the construction of Weihai Port New Area, Shidao Port, and Longyan Port, striving to develop the port during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. The level has reached 300,000 tons, the cargo throughput has reached more than 100 million tons, and a modern shipping fleet mainly composed of large ocean-going ships has been strongly developed. There is a saying in the international shipbuilding industry that the shipbuilding and repairing industry has built an important ship base in Northeast Asia. It is recognized by everyone that the best shipbuilding area in the world is around 36° north latitude, and Weihai happens to be in this area. Not only that, in terms of geological conditions, Weihai has a long deep-water coastline, and there are mostly granite structures along the coast. These are Weihai's unique natural conditions for developing the shipbuilding industry, which has attracted domestic and foreign shipbuilding companies to invest. Looking around Weihai's coast, Zaobu Bay, Longyan Bay, Lidao Bay, Shidao Bay... have a coastline of nearly a thousand kilometers. At the same time, a vibrant shipbuilding belt has grown rapidly. At the same time, the shipbuilding supporting industry has followed suit and developed rapidly.

The construction of ship supporting industrial parks in Rongcheng, Wendeng Nanhai New District, Economic Zone and Industrial New District is booming. In the future, Weihai will focus on the development of ship sections, marine plates, wind turbines and other supporting equipment, and accelerate the development of high-tech products such as marine main power stations, engine room auxiliary machines, communication and navigation R&D. Guide shipbuilding and repairing enterprises with weak market competitiveness to transform into ship supporting industries and form a shipbuilding industry chain and supporting industry clusters. "After several years of rapid growth, Weihai's shipbuilding and shipbuilding industry has achieved considerable development, but the industrial supporting clusters need to be improved and market competitiveness is generally weak. Under the shadow of the international financial crisis, the breakthrough point of Weihai's shipbuilding and shipbuilding industry lies in independent innovation. Practice has proved that scientific and technological innovation is the vitality and driving force of the shipbuilding industry." Talking about the strategy of building a blue economic zone in Shandong Peninsula, Zhou Anchang, deputy chief economist of Huanghai Shipyard and deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Shipbuilding Industry Association, told reporters. Relying on the formed industrial foundation, Weihai plans to build three major shipbuilding industry clusters in Lidao Bay, Zaobu Bay and Shidao Bay, and build a cluster of shipbuilding industries along Zaobu Bay, Longyan Bay, Lidao Bay, Shidao Bay, Jinghai Bay and Buzhou Bay. The coastal shipbuilding industrial belt of Kokou Bay, Qiandao Bay and Rushankou Bay. Weihai will focus on technological innovation and mechanism innovation as the driving force, and rely on the provincial shipbuilding industry technology center to accelerate the establishment of a modern shipbuilding model with design as the forerunner, final assembly as the core, and intermediate products as the guide. Focus on developing a new shipbuilding industry system with reasonable layout, optimized structure, complete system, environmental protection and energy saving, and create an important shipbuilding and repairing base in China and even Northeast Asia. In this process, Weihai will focus on supporting the top ten shipbuilding companies such as New Shipbuilding Industry and Huanghai Shipbuilding, and highlight the development of five high value-added and high-tech ship types such as ro-ro passenger ship manufacturing and car transport ships. Among them, Huanghai Shipyard is the leader in building a national offshore fishing boat production base. Strive to achieve 40 billion yuan in shipbuilding sales revenue by 2012. The thousand-kilometer coastline is a God-given "source" for the development of tourism in Weihai. There are seas, islands, springs, mountains, and scenery everywhere. Weihai has unique tourism resources, including rich ancient culture and a unique modern seaside atmosphere. Along the thousand-kilometer coastline, there are both natural and cultural landscapes, and the "grand tourism" development pattern including Liugong Island Scenic Area, Chengshantou Tourist Area, Shidao Tourist Area, etc. has taken shape. The contribution rate of Weihai's tourism industry to the tertiary industry has been much higher than the provincial average for many years in a row. This industry has become an important and vital part of the economy. Weihai has also developed from a small coastal town to one with a certain reputation in the country. tourist city. In Gao Xuguang's mind, compared with these advantages, he feels that what is more precious is Weihai's good policies and social environment for tourism development. From party committees and governments at all levels to departments, developing the green industry of tourism has become "Weihai's national consciousness." Since 2007 alone, Weihai has launched 8 key municipal tourism projects including Darushan Leisure Resort. A few days ago, the signing ceremony of the first "Weihai Cup·International Sailing Invitational Tournament" was held to set the theme for the development of Weihai's high-end tourism project - the sailing leisure industry. "In general, Weihai tourism has explored a path of sustainable development through protection and inheritance, which is consistent with the 'blue' concept of the blue economic zone. With the rapid development of the tourism industry, we cannot ignore Weihai tourism There are problems in industrial development such as the lack of completeness of urban supporting facilities, small scale of leisure facilities, single variety of leisure and entertainment, and lack of local characteristics. This is also our focus in the future construction of blue economic zones," said Gao Xuguang. With the goal of becoming a leisure and vacation destination, Weihai will further improve key scenic spots such as Liugong Island and Chishan, and accelerate the construction of scenic spots such as Huaxia Ecological Park. Weihai will also upgrade the functions of four provincial-level tourist resorts, including Huancui and Silver Beach, and build six major tourism sectors, including central cities and coastal ecology. The connection between coastal tourism and industries along the line is very important. Gao Xuguang said that Weihai will create a coordinated development of tourism, industry, agriculture and other industries. At the same time, we should actively develop maritime tourism, develop high-end tourism projects such as sailing that are suitable for tourists to participate, and build an international beach sailing base that integrates economy, culture, branding, consumption, etc.

Relying on hot spring resources, Weihai is accelerating the construction of the Hot Spring World project based on Baoquan Road Hot Spring Street, actively promoting hot spring projects such as Tianmu and Tangbo, increasing the promotion of the "China Hot Spring Town" brand, and striving to create China's first-class hot spring leisure and health base. Weihai is an ideal city for the development of clean energy such as nuclear power and wind power. There are many bays here, the geology is stable, and the monsoon characteristics are remarkable. New energy projects represented by Shidaowan Nuclear Power Station, Guohua Ruifeng, and CNOOC Wind Power Offshore Engineering have a good momentum of development. In recent years, the state has increased its support for new energy, and the development of the new energy industry has entered the spring. Weihai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to the new energy industry. "The implementation of the 'Energy Revitalizing the City' strategy has created a good policy environment for Weihai to leverage its location and resource advantages and vigorously develop new energy sources such as wind power, nuclear power, hydropower, solar energy and tidal energy. Shidaowan Nuclear Power Station, Guohua Wind Power Project Waiting to be implemented in Weihai and promoted smoothly. At present, the development and utilization of green energy in Weihai is gradually on the right track, which puts forward requirements for related supporting facilities and services, and related industries need to be further developed," said Liu Shuwei, deputy director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. To build the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone, Weihai will focus on the planning and construction of nuclear power and wind power. Among them, a 200,000-kilowatt unit of the Shidaowan Nuclear Power Station will be completed and put into operation in 2013. We will make every effort to promote the preliminary work of the Wendeng pumped storage power station project and actively pursue wind power projects such as Guohua Ruifeng Phase II and III and Gamesa Wendeng. In areas where conditions permit, Weihai will promote the construction of a number of solar power generation and waste heat comprehensive utilization power generation projects according to local conditions, accelerate the development of geothermal energy, tidal energy, rural biogas and other renewable energy sources, and build a number of clean energy projects with demonstration and driving effects. project. The petrochemical industry not only has the advantage of providing energy, but also builds a fine chemical industry chain. Its radiating and driving role cannot be underestimated and plays a decisive role in economic development. The Weihai Island petrochemical base project planned and constructed in Weihai is a comprehensive chemical base. China National Petroleum Corporation has determined that the overall plan of the Rongdao Island petrochemical project will be constructed according to the standard of processing 20 million tons of Venezuelan heavy crude oil per year. At present, the supporting terminal projects have been included in the overall planning of Weihai and Shandong ports, and most of the supporting infrastructure construction has been completed. After the base is completed, it will form an industrial chain and superior product series from oil refining to synthetic materials, organic raw materials, and fine chemicals. The construction and commissioning of these projects will not only provide strong support and guarantee for the development of Weihai and the entire province, but will also become a new local economic growth sector. Based on this, Weihai will also vigorously introduce and develop high-end petrochemical products, focusing on the development of new synthetic materials, organic raw materials, fine chemicals and other petroleum deep processing products with high added value, strong industrial relevance and filling domestic gaps, striving to build Shandong Province and even the An important petrochemical production base in the country.
