What Are The Conditions For The Development Of Container Transportation Along The Yangtze River?

　　 Container transportation along the Yangtze River The development depends on the following five conditions:

First, Changjiang Delta Become the leader of container transportation development along the Yangtze River

The Yangtze River Delta, which accounts for 2.2% of the country's land area and 10.4% of the population, has created 22.1% of the gross domestic product, 24.5% of the total fiscal revenue and 28.5% of the total import and export volume. The Yangtze River Delta has formed urban clusters, industrial clusters and port clusters, and has become an important contribution to the national economic growth.

The Yangtze River Delta is basically two out of doors, the import and export volume accounts for 28.5% of the country, and the utilization of foreign capital is US $150 billion. The expressway is 3251 kilometers, accounting for 12.9% of the whole country, and the inland waterway mileage is 36322 kilometers, accounting for 29.9% of the whole country. There are 12 main ports. Container throughput has reached 18 million mark in 2003, with an average annual growth rate of 14%. In order to facilitate further development, the Yangtze River Delta region has standardized the container transport market and realized regional integration.

The Yangtze River trunk line has been connected with the coastal north-south route, forming a "T" type container shipping channel.

Two, huge demand for container transport.

85% of the total volume of international trade is through Haikou and ports. The main modes are dry bulk transportation, tanker transportation and container liner shipping. In recent years, the world's maritime container transport has been developing at a high speed. It is expected to increase by 7.2% in early twenty-first Century. The container throughput of the port has increased from 36 million 350 thousand TEUs in 1980 to 244 million TEUs in 2003, and it is expected to reach 320 million TEUs in 2005.

Container transportation is an important product of the modernization of transportation. In the past more than 10 years, China's port container has been growing at an annual rate of more than 30%. In 2003, it reached nearly 48 million teas. The absolute volume exceeded the United States for the first time and ranked first in the world.

Three. The construction of a large transport corridor along the Yangtze River.

According to the plan of "fifteen" and "11th Five-Year", the state should strengthen the construction of large domestic transportation corridors, including the large transport corridor along the Yangtze River. It is composed of highways, railways and waterways, connecting the large passageways along the Yangtze River Delta and the Yangtze River. Along the Yangtze River Corridor, the role of the Yangtze River will be fully realized, but at the same time, the investment in land transport infrastructure should be strengthened.

Along the Yangtze River, Shanghai, Wuhan and Chongqing are major comprehensive transportation hub with overall significance, which is very important in the whole country. {page_break}

Four. Rapid development of Expressways

The expressway has large capacity and fast speed. It has both channel function and distribution function. It is an important part of the comprehensive transportation corridor. According to the forecast, the total road freight volume in China in 2010 was 150 million tons, and in 2020 it was 200 million tons. In 2010, the turnover volume of highway freight was 980 billion tons, and 2020 was 15000 billion tons. To this end, relevant departments are preparing the national highway network development plan. In 2003, China has 29 thousand and 700 kilometers of expressways, ranking second in the world. By 2010, it will reach 55 thousand km, and will reach 82 thousand km in 2020. After completion, the eastern region will have an average of 30 minutes, an average of 1 hours in the central region, and an average speed of 2 hours in the western region.

At present, the high speed kilometer is the main force of port container collection and transportation, and has undertaken 84% of the collection and distribution workload. By the end of 2003, the expressway in the Yangtze River Basin had developed rapidly, and Jiangsu had more than 2000 kilometers, and Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Sichuan and Yunnan exceeded 1000 kilometers.

Five. Development of container transport vehicles

In the world, semi trailers and container trailers have become the main equipment for road freight. The developed countries account for 90% of the highway freight volume. They have become an important symbol of the comprehensive transportation level of a country. The United States imports and exports 7 million teas every year, 2/3 of which are transported by steam cars, with an average haul distance of 800 km. This transport can increase efficiency by 30-50%, reduce cost by 30-40% and fuel consumption by 20-30%. China's container transport is currently mainly for foreign trade. But the "fifteen" plan calls for the development of van, container trailers, especially multi axle heavy trucks with over 8 tons. Not only for foreign trade, but also for domestic trade, especially door to door services in logistics activities.

But at present, the freight transport capacity of China is unreasonable, and the overall level of vehicles can not adapt to the development of highways, especially high-grade highways. Freight cars are mainly medium size open freight cars, and the proportion of heavy trucks, Van trucks, container trailers and all kinds of special purpose vehicles is low. By 2000, the total number of civil cars in the country was 16 million 90 thousand, of which 5 million 700 thousand were road vehicles, 4 million 300 thousand of ordinary trucks were in 4 million 400 thousand trucks, accounting for 98%, while 99 thousand for container trailers, LCL trucks, bulk trucks, tank cars and refrigerated trucks, only 2%.

Containers are attached to container transport vehicles. China is already a large container production country. Its existing production capacity and sales account for over 60% of the global production and sales volume. It is a strong foundation for China to develop container transportation both at home and abroad.
