As the world's largest transportation and the busiest inland river channel, the Yangtze River is a large water transportation channel throughout the east and west in my country.

"Hunan Hubei belongs to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but the transportation volume of ports in the two provinces is far different." On June 19, Jiang Zuobin, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress, pointed out in the "Hunan Daily" publication. For various reasons, the waterway transportation has not been fully utilized for a long time, which objectively restricts the development of Changsha and even Hunan.

Data show that the mileage of Hunan Province is third in the country, but the mileage of more than 500 tons of channels accounted for only 11%, and the utilization rate is low. Reflected in capacity, in 2021, the cargo throughput of Hunan inland port was less than one -third of Hubei and Anhui, which was equivalent to about 60 % of Jiangxi throughput.

For a long time, there has been a "dislocation" between the Economic Center of Hunan Province and the Water Transport Hub -one of the earliest eight major ports in the earliest opening along the Yangtze River. Yueyang Port is an important foreign trade platform in Hunan. In the long (sand) strail (continent) (Xiang) Pond.

There is a shortage of transportation in Changsha, and Yueyang has the absence of good ports, which makes it difficult for both to make bigger and stronger. The previously released "Several Opinions on the Implementation of the Strategic Development of Changsha City" (hereinafter referred to as "several opinions") proposed that it is necessary to promote Changsha North to better integrate into the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

In Jiang Zuobin's view, the idea of ​​"Changsha to the north" is to learn from the practice of the three -point Chaohu Lake in Anhui 11 years ago, so that the main axis of the development of Hefei City "to the east", thereby greatly shortening its distance from the Yangtze River and becoming "quasi -along the river along the river along the river. City".

However, at the moment when the administrative division's policy adjustment policy is tightening, the original "copying" is obviously unrealistic. From the inland city to the along the river cities, how can Changsha "dream"?

With the advantages of the "Golden Waterway", but failed to play its due role, Hunan's bitter water transportation has not been strong for a long time.

Compared with Hubei Province, which belongs to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, there are 4 in the Yangtze River ports in the Yangtze River in Hubei Province mainly Wuhan, Jingzhou, Yichang, and Huangshi. There are two main Changsha and Yueyang Port in Hunan. According to data from the Ministry of Transport, in 2021, the cargo throughput of the inland port in Hubei reached 48.831 million tons, and Hunan was 14.094 million tons, which was less than 30 % of the former.

Among the 10 provinces on the Yangtze River Economic Belt (except Shanghai, which is mainly coastal ports), Hunan ranked 7th in the inland port cargo throughout last year, ranking the last in 6 provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Among them, Jiangsu throughput in the first ranking is more than 20 times that of Hunan, and the 6th ranking Chongqing throughput is more than 50 million tons more than Hunan.

Among the 6 provincial capital cities (Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Wuhan, Changsha, and Nanchang) in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the capacity of Changsha Port also ranked at the bottom.

Changsha's cargo throughput is still half of the Nanchang, which is equivalent to a zero head next door.

According to the latest statistics of the Ministry of Transport, from January to May this year, the total volume of cargo throughput of Changsha was 6.1 million tons, while Wuhan, Hefei, and Nanchang reached 53.74 million tons, 17.95 million tons, and 12.5 million tons. From the perspective of growth, Changsha increased by 12%year -on -year, slightly higher than the 11.6%of Hefei, and was less than 12.5%of Wuhan and Nanchang.

Even in Hunan Province, the cargo throughput of Changsha Port ranks only third, after Yueyang and Xiangtan. Among them, Yueyang, as the only city along the river in Hunan, reached 89.57 million tons last year, more than five times that of Changsha.

Hunan urgently needs a "gold port". As a node for water transportation and a conversion place for various transportation methods, the port plays an irreplaceable role in the entire transportation system.

Taking Hubei next door as an example, sitting in the largest inland river port in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan to Shanghai Yangshan Port ’s“ River and Sea Direct ”route has achieved a schedule of 7 voyages per week. The "Jianghai Direct Route" of Japan and South Korea has been opened one after another, and Jianghai Dizhong has reached four routes from Wuhan Yanggang Port.

At present, Hubei also relies on Yangxiagang to build a national logistics hub in Wuhan Port -type type, and connects the “Belt and Road” and the Yangtze River Economic Belt with multi -channel multi -type transportation to build a Wuhan hub that runs through east and west, radiates nationwide, and connects international.

Resolve

While chasing the gap, Hunan still has deeper plans.

On April 13 this year, in the "Several Opinions" issued by the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, one of the target tasks proposed was Changsha founding the national central city. This is not the first time to show the ambition to compete for the national central city. As early as 2017 and 2018, Changsha proposed to create a national central city.

Sort out the provincial capital of the country's central cities, all of which have implemented the hub strategy. For example, Guangzhou's planning and construction of a global transportation hub, Wuhan and Zhengzhou want to build an international comprehensive transportation hub, etc., are some of which means "the hub to win the world".

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Transport and the National Railway Administration jointly issued the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Development Plan for the Modern Comprehensive Transportation Hub System ". Work deployment. Among them, Changsha was selected as a national comprehensive transportation hub city construction list.

Specific measures to Changsha, to build the inland river port of Tongjiang Dahai is also an indispensable part -based on the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of the National Comprehensive Transportation Hub Center" published by Changsha, it will promote the construction of the first -level channel of the Xiangjiang River and explore Build Yu Gonggang together, strengthen the linkage of Xia Ninggang District, Tongguan Port District, Jinggang District and Chenglingji Port and Yu Gonggang;

The "Several Opinions" also clearly supports the vigorous development of the Hong Kong and mouth economy and advanced manufacturing industries in the Xianghei Pathum Area in Xiangjiang New District, rely on Yu Gonggang to build a Hong Kong -made Hong Kong production area in the Xiangjiang New District, enhance the ability of Tongjiang Dahai, and promote the better integration of Changsha North to better integrate into the Yangtze River Economic Belt Essence

Why is Yu Gonggang so important?

According to public information, Yu Gonggang is located in Santang Town, Xiangyin County, Yueyang City. It is located at the intersection of the "Four Water" of Xiangjiang Lake and Xiangzi Yi. Determine regional port and logistics base.

It is 59 kilometers away from Changsha Airlines' New York, 87 kilometers from the Sanjiangkou of Chenglingji, and more than 50 kilometers from the Changsha freight center. It is the best distance in the international port radiation city.

Another study has shown that Yu Gonggang is also the current port site of the Xiangjiang River without a large -scale channel rectification project. Under natural conditions, it has the advantages of building a 5,000 -ton terminal condition, which has the advantages of Changsha Port and Tongguan Port.

In other words, after the completion of Yu Gonggang, it is equivalent to extending the Yangtze River Golden Waterway to Hunan inland nearly 100 kilometers, directly becoming the most superior inland port of Hunan's geographical conditions.

Because of this, at the level of Hunan and Changsha Province, it has frequently visited Yu Gonggang for investigation and inspection in the past two years to explore related matters related to co -development and coordinated development.

From a local point of view, Yu Gonggang Wharf can make up for the shortcomings of Changsha water transportation, make up for the shortcomings of the Changlitan area far from Chenglingji Port, and promote the seamless docking of the Changzhutan urban agglomeration and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The important part of the provincial capital "strategic implementation.

On the basis of this, Jiang Zuobin's idea is further -to move the Changsha Port to 50 kilometers north to Hunan Yinhong Port, or to build Yu Gonggang into Changsha North Port. By vigorously supporting the "Changsha to the north", restructuring the development pattern, shortening the distance from the Yangtze River as much as possible, the "big channel" of the Tongjiang Dahai Sea, and creating a "quasi -Linyang city city".

Jiang Zuobin believes that the construction of a new Changsha Port allows Changsha City and Xiangjiang New District to have a large dock that directly Tongjiang Dahai. Changsha has expanded from a core city of Xiangjiang to the core city of Huandong Ting Lake and the Yangtze River. Function, enhance the status of Changsha city, completely change the status of Changsha in China's first -tier cities and the position of the domestic and international shipping community.

However, there are still many issues that need to be clarified from the idea to the real landing.

For Hunan, behind Yu Gonggang, it involves the issue of how to cooperate between the Changzhutan area and the provincial sub -center city Yueyang with the core of Changsha as the core.

As an inland provincial capital city, Changsha wants to stand out in a new round of competition, and it urgently needs to break through the prominent shortcomings of insufficient openness.

As the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has risen to the national strategy, the role of ports along the Yangtze River on the port of local economic development has become more and more prominent. Become the key to breaking the problem in Changsha.

Yu Yueyang, although the location of the Yangtze River and Hantong Ting is superior, but due to far from the hinterland and other reasons, it has long faced the embarrassment of "the absence of the good port".

"As far as the total amount and structure of Yueyang's economy is concerned, it is not enough to lead Hunan to the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt." Liu Xiaoying, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Yueyang Municipal People's Congress, pointed out that it is the dislocation of the economic and location advantages between Changsha and Yueyang. It determines that Changyue's coordinated development is the big logic of promoting the integration of Hunan's integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

The two places are constantly advancing. In November last year, the symposium of Changyue Coordinated Development Exchange was held. Wu Guiying, Secretary of the Changsha Municipal Party Committee, put forward three hopes on strengthening exchanges and cooperation between the two places, including "Strengthening the interconnection of water transportation facilities, joining the port cooperation, Xiangjiang Channel upgrade, and the construction of the Yangtze River Golden Waterway Construction "Wait.

In the "Changzhutan Metropolitan City Development Plan" released in March this year, it is also proposed that planning to promote Changzhutan Port, orderly promoting the construction of the dock berth, and gradually forming an integrated port system with complementary advantages, division of labor, and dislocation development Essence Strengthen the linkage between Changzhutan Port and Chenglingji Port, and explore the construction of the Changzhutan "Flying Port" of Yueyang Yugong Port.

At present, it is the wind. The development plan of the national "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" water transportation is clear. By 2025, the new national high -level channel is about 2,500 kilometers, which will basically connect the main ports in the river. By 2035, the safe, convenient, efficient, green, and economical modern water transportation system will be basically completed. Essence

Under the opportunity period, Jiang Zuobin also put forward a farther idea, "In the long run, it can accelerate the promotion and construction of the Xianggui Canal, through the Xiangjiang Unicom Pearl River Shipping Zone, and connect the upcoming Guangxi Pinglu Canal." At that time, the South of Hunan in the South of Hunan The north passage will be connected across the board, and the "dividend" of Tongjiang Dahai will be further released.
