in March this year, the Guangxi Beibu Gulf office led a team to Beihai city to investigate the impact of foreign trade container routes in Qinzhou port on local enterprises in Beihai. The Beihai trip of Guangxi Beibu Gulf office reflected the opinions of foreign trade enterprises in Beihai City on the significant increase in costs and the reduction in customs clearance efficiency caused by the collection of container business in Qinzhou port, which highlighted the business competition between Beihai and Qinzhou ports Further intensification of. Then, has the repositioning of the three major ports promoted by Guangxi Beibu Gulf port group since 2014 and the policy of integrating foreign trade container routes in Fangcheng and Beihai ports into Qinzhou Port been challenged? Let me give you an in-depth analysis of the great impact that the container integration of Beihai port into Qinzhou will have on Beihai, Nanning and Yulin. Welcome to discuss
1. Repositioning and integrating the three coastal ports is the next big chess game in Guangxi
as early as 2014, in order to expand and strengthen the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, Guangxi made a new functional positioning for the three coastal port areas and put forward" one axis and two wings"in the division of labor of each port Layout, that is to cultivate regional container hub with Qinzhou Port as the central axis; Bulk cargoes gather in Fangcheng port and Beihai Tieshan port. Fangcheng port serves the southwest region and Beihai Tieshan port serves the South China and Central South regions. This time, Qinzhou Port has been mentioned as the primary position of the whole Guangxi port in the planning. Qinzhou port is positioned as the main port of domestic and foreign trade containers in Guangxi, while Fangcheng port and Beihai port are used as feeding ports. At that time, Fangcheng Port was larger than Qinzhou Port in terms of cargo throughput, and Beihai port was better than Qinzhou Port in terms of high-tech industries and docking with ASEAN. In fact, Guangxi's practice of concentrating resources in Qinzhou Port was to weaken the homogeneous competition of the three port areas in Guangxi internally and strengthen the competitive advantage of Zhanjiang and Maoming ports externally. Taking advantage of Qinzhou's closest proximity to Nanning, the capital, to stimulate the development of the hinterland of Guangxi and provide an economic fulcrum for the construction of the Pinglu canal in the future is the next big chess game in Guangxi
2. Container collection in Qinzhou Port puts great pressure on the economy of Beihai and is also unfavorable to the construction of Yulin port
the dominance of Qinzhou Port has provided a very favorable situation for the development of the hinterland of Guangxi, especially Nanning city. However, there are always two sides to things. The integration of domestic and foreign trade container routes into Qinzhou Port in a one size fits all manner will inevitably have an impact on the economic development of the surrounding port cities, especially Beihai city. The slowdown of foreign trade in recent years has led to the outflow of local enterprises, coupled with the surrounding nuclear power plants The construction of, the rise of Yulin Longtan Industrial Park, and the unified collection of foreign trade containers in Qinzhou port this time have increased the cost of logistics and transportation and reduced the efficiency of customs clearance for many foreign trade processing enterprises in the North Sea. It will inevitably put pressure on the local economy of Beihai. For the Longtan Industrial Park in Yulin City and the east port terminal under construction, Qinzhou port, where containers will be collected further from Tieshan port, will undoubtedly cost more and consume more than Beihai port, which is also very unfavorable to the port construction and competitiveness of Yulin
3. Will the container route centralized in Qinzhou port face the situation that Guangxi goods do not go to Guangxi port?
the consolidation of container routes in the three coastal ports of Guangxi into Qinzhou is intended to expand and strengthen the competitive strength of Guangxi Beibu Gulf port area and attract more logistics goods to go to sea through Guangxi channel. This has been verified that the cargo throughput of Qinzhou Port has rapidly increased to the 14th place in China in the past two years. The consolidation of the three coastal ports in Guangxi can be said to have achieved initial results. However, it must also be noted that the consolidation of container routes into Qinzhou is a means of administrative intervention in the market economy Means, the expansion of Qinzhou port is not the result of its own competitive strength and energy efficiency improvement, but at the cost of relocating Fangcheng port and Beihai port business. It can be seen from the investigation of Beihai port by Guangxi Beibu Gulf office at the beginning of this year that many processing and export-oriented enterprises that originally invested in Beihai and Fangcheng have plans to move out of Guangxi due to the increase of container logistics costs, which is likely to aggravate the situation that Guangxi goods do not leave Guangxi port. This has resulted in the increase of freight transportation in Qinzhou Port in a short time and the loss of foreign trade container business in Guangxi to Zhanjiang, Maoming and Shenzhen in a long time. The ultimate damage is definitely not just the North Sea
