Ningbo and Zhoushan ports to merge soon

The integration of Ningbo Zhoushan two ports, which has been brewing for two years, will soon be settled. On August 4, Ningbo port announced the suspension of trading, which triggered the reverie of Ningbo Zhoushan integration. According to the report of Shanghai Securities News, the suspension is indeed a plan to merge Ningbo port with Zhoushan port, which indicates that the integration of port resources in Zhejiang Province will take a substantial step.

According to the review of the expert group, Ningbo Zhoushan port should reduce competition, make rational positioning and complement each other. Ningbo City ports should pay attention to structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, and actively develop modern logistics and shipping service functions. Zhoushan City ports should actively develop port industry and bulk material processing trade functions to promote the interactive development of ports and industries.

Lu Jun, an economic expert, believes that the combination of Zhoushan's port resources and Ningbo's capital and port development technology is a perfect match. If the reorganization is completed, the new "Ningbo Zhoushan port" will be built into the world's largest modern port.

Lianyungang opens "one body, two wings" port capital integration

On July 31, it was learned that Lianyungang Municipal Party committee set up a port reform promotion group to plan the integration of "one body and two wings" port resources. At present, the group has been stationed in Lianyungang port group. In addition, Lianyungang Port holding group will be set up and will be listed in August.

This reform mainly integrates the port resources of "one body and two wings" (the "one body" refers to the main port area of Lianyungang and the "two wings" refer to Xuxu port area and Ganyu port area) to achieve integrated development and avoid homogeneous competition. At present, the curtain of Lianyungang's national reform has been lifted, and it is likely to gradually involve listed companies in the future. High quality asset injection is worth looking forward to.

East bridgehead or dagangkou group under construction

During the 12th Five Year Plan period, Lianyungang port and Rizhao Port will accelerate the integration, realize the planning and construction of large port resources combination, and form a "six points and one ring" combined port group of Shijiu port, Lanshan Port, taoluo port, zhewang port, Lianyungang port (including Xuxu) and the first three islands port surrounding Haizhou Bay and connecting the first three islands and Liandao.

Integrating the resources of Lianyungang and Rizhao, the two neighboring ports, can not only quell the unreasonable competition for the position of the east bridgehead, but also create the basic conditions for solving the mismatch between the East and West bridgeheads, build the Lianyungang combined port into an international shipping center and Trade Center comparable to Rotterdam as soon as possible, and promote the process of China's opening up.

Integration is difficult

Hubei port integration is difficult

In July last year, Hubei Province made a major decision to promote the integration of ports in the Hubei section of the Yangtze River. For this purpose, a mobilization meeting was held to study the promotion plan. However, up to now, the Hubei port group, which was originally planned to be established at the end of August last year, has not been listed yet. The port integration process is slow, and the reasons are very complex. The first thing is the integration of equity. Secondly, Wuhan port and waterway is a provincial enterprise, and the issue of cadre selection has been brewing for too long. Thirdly, the port integration also involves the competition for the right to speak of each city.

The effect of Dagang cooperation is not satisfactory

Under the background of the "the Belt and Road" strategy and the establishment of the China South Korea Free Trade Zone, the third China Central Asia cooperation forum to be held in Rizhao on June 16 brings many new expectations to Shandong Province, and the port integration in Shandong Province is booming. However, this integration is facing new challenges of competition and cooperation. The cooperation between Rizhao Port and Qingdao port, which once led the integration of Shandong ports, has recently officially ended.

Practice: there are many games in Port Integration

Port integration is like a complex game. At present, there are few smooth sailing in the integration. Whether it is the loose combination of Meizhou Bay port mode, the Liaoning layout of integrating small ports into Dalian port mode, and the Beibu Bay mode of relying on administrative means to achieve port integration, all involve the above-mentioned problems more or less. China's port integration is progressing slowly in difficulties.

How to solve the problem of competition and cooperation?

Foreign experience

An important sign of port resource integration is that the relationship between branch ports and hub ports in the same port group has changed from competition to "competition and cooperation", and from "zero sum" game to "positive sum" game. By supporting the hub port, the feeder port can improve the competitiveness of the hub port and further improve the cargo throughput of the feeder port itself.

However, due to the immature mechanism and lack of risk awareness, some port and shipping enterprises in China do not hesitate to adopt vicious competition in order to compete for the supply of goods, resulting in the loss of both sides. To make the port bigger and stronger, it is necessary for China to break the restriction of administrative division, coordinate the development with the natural attribute and economic law of the port group, integrate the resources of the port in the market competition, consolidate the leading position of the hub port, and give full play to the auxiliary role of the feeder port and feeder port.

Copenhagen Malmo port competition and cooperation experience

Copenhagen – many practices of Malmo port in the practice of misplaced competition, complementary advantages, combined development, coordinated development, green development, etc. are indeed refreshing and valuable for the economic development of domestic ports.

The business of the two ports has changed from vicious competition to hand-in-hand cooperation. The same team carries out combined development according to its resource endowment and location advantages, and cooperates with each other and complements each other. Recently, many local governments along the coast of China have competed to organize delegations to study. Hebei Port, Tianjin port, Shenzhen port, Lianyungang port and other ports have signed agreements with CMP to learn their advanced experience and practices in port management, share relevant resources and information, and cooperate in training and education, staff exchange, etc.
