[Financial and political energy] Water transport economy contains deep energy

"It is expected that the national water transport freight volume in the first half of this year will reach 115% of the same period in 2019." At the press conference of the National New Office on the 27th, Zhao Chongjiu, deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport, said that from January to May, my country's water transport in logistics insurance preservation and preparation It plays an important role in the work. The water transport economy is running smoothly and orderly, and the main indicators are steadily good.

According to the disclosure of the conference on the day of the conference, as of June 24, my country ’s key monitoring ports have completed 5.56 billion tons of cargo throughput this year and 124 million standard boxes of container throughput, which has increased by 0.9%and 2.3%year -on -year; For the Zaiba veneer this year, it has passed 141 million tons of goods, an increase of 8%year -on -year.

"From the perspective of the scattered port epidemic situation this year, the port showed a strong toughness." Zhao Chongjiu introduced that since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Transport has adopted a series of measures to ensure the operational efficiency of the port. On the one hand, strengthening the coordinated linkage and diversion adjustment of key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei and other key areas should effectively affect the local epidemic; The port area involved in the place of immune vigorously promotes "revolving water" and "public rotary iron" to ensure the improvement of port collection capacity during the immune -related period. The digitalization of the documents, the Beijing -Hangzhou Canal boat gate vigorously promotes the online declaration and "water ETC" and other gates modes. From January to May this year, the average loading and unloading time of major port foreign trade containers in my country was only 1.08 days.

In this regard, Xing Peixu, secretary of the Party Committee of the China Communications Water Transport Planning and Design Institute, said that the trend of "iron sea joint transportation", "regional collaboration" and "digital operations" are obvious. The current water transport economy is showing deep development potential in the development of the national economy. In particular, expanding the effective investment of water transportation can not only improve the modern comprehensive three -dimensional transportation network, but also activate the "multiplication effect" of the cross -regional and upstream and downstream development of water transportation to promote the industrial chain supply chain. overall benefit. It is estimated that the investment multiplication of coastal and inland water transportation is about 1: 6 and 1: 3, which has made positive contributions to economic and social development.

The reporter learned that since the beginning of the year, the "Notice on Actively Expanding Effective Investment in Transportation" and "Working Plan for the Implementation of the Implementation of the Implementation of the Implementation of Major Projects of the" Fourteenth Five -Year Plan "of the" Fourteenth Five -Year Plan " Investment, strengthen the guarantee of resource elements, and accelerate the implementation of a number of major water transportation projects such as the improvement of coastal ports, the canal connection, and the expansion of the golden water channel expansion. The eleventh meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee held on April 26 further tipped the title "Optimize and improve the National Water Transport Facilities Network", pointing out that "to strengthen the planning and construction of coastal and inland rivers' channels."

Under the combination of a number of policies, at present, the development trend of water transportation economy that continues to increase water transportation infrastructure in investment in many places in the country has continued to innovate in the format.

As a large province of water transportation, Zhejiang Province completed one -third of the annual water transport investment plan in the first quarter of the province, 5.84 billion yuan, and the current progress was 8.3%, an increase of 44.4%year -on -year; The investment scale of 16.26 billion yuan is set by the Hong Kong Airlines Project Construction. It is planned to complete the investment of 12.03 billion yuan in port construction and 4.23 billion yuan in channel construction investment. , Complete the third -level channel rectification of 60 kilometers and build 15 bridges.

Different from Jiangsu's efforts to accelerate the enhancement of the Port and Airlines Hub's energy level, Zhejiang extended the tentacles of water transportation to the inland shipping and laid out the hinterland of the Yangtze River.

It is understood that Huzhou and Jiaxing have released the first five -year plan for the development of the first local water transportation. Huzhou anchor the goal of a national first -class inland river Hong Kong, plans to build a thousand -ton channel network with the main branch, build a modern port of "Hong Kong production and city linkage", build a convenient and efficient transportation service system, and develop advanced and applicable green digital water transportation. Jiaxing proposed that by 2025, the long triangle Haihe Lianyong hub is basically built, and the Haihe Lianyong Hub will strive to create a national demonstration. In Hangzhou, the two channels of the Beijing -Hangzhou Grand Canal are expected to be tried on flights this year. The thousand -ton ships can pass through the Babao vessels into the Qiantang River. At that time, the channels of northern Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, and central Zhejiang are fully connected into high -level inland river water transport network ... Mowing

Aiming at the inland shipping province Jiangxi. "Revitalize the Millennium Golden Waterway, build a Century Water Transportation Engineering Zhejiang -Jiangxi Canal, and give full play to the advantages of the North -South Water Transport Channel." It is reported that the total length of the Zhejiang -Jiangxi and Guangdong Canal is about 1988 kilometers, which is 1168 kilometers in Jiangxi, accounting for about 60%. Ma Zhihui, director of the Institute of Economics of the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, believes that there are currently unbalanced structures in the transportation channel of Jiangxi Province, 80%to 90%of the railway, and the lowest proportion of water transportation, but the cost of water transportation is the lowest. Once the Zhejiang -Jiangxi Guangdong Canal is opened, it will greatly reduce the cost of exported goods in Jiangxi and promote the development of the open economy of Jiangxi Province. At the same time, it can also better attract corporate investment in Zhejiang and Guangdong, enter Jiangxi through "water transport drainage", and then form a "water transport+" industrial gathering effect.

According to the data released by the Ministry of Communications, "Investment in the Fixed Assets Investment in my country's Highway Waterway Transportation Fixed Assets" from January to May of 2022, from the perspective of total, the fixed production investment in my country's water transportation construction reached 56.32 billion yuan in the first May, of which the construction scale of the inland river reached 271.6 100 million yuan, a year -on -year growth rate of 6.1%; from the perspective of the region, 21 provinces and cities and autonomous regions invested water transportation.Xing Peixu said that with the acceleration of water transport infrastructure, a number of inland ports will rise in the future, together with the international hub port to build a logistics hub for two -way radiation in sea and land, and form a new channel economy along the river.(Text/Huang Hao) [Editor in charge: Huang Boyang]
