Maintain good momentum in major project construction, port operations, etc

The construction of the Pinglu Canal Project of the new land sea channel in the west has started, the class III waterway of the Zhejiang section of the Beijing Hangzhou Canal and the Xiaoqing River Navigation Resumption Project have all been open to navigation, the container terminal and supporting works in the Xiaoyangshan North Operation Area of the Yangshan Port Deepwater Port Area, the Shanghai International Shipping Center, and the Meishan Port Area Phase II Project of Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan have accelerated the construction of a number of major projects... Since this year, the Ministry of Transport has accelerated the construction of major projects, Continuously expanding the effective investment scale.

Data shows that from January to May this year, investment in water transport construction was 73.4 billion yuan, up 30.3% year on year. fixed assets investment maintained a rapid growth, providing strong support for stable growth and expanding domestic demand. Among them, fixed assets investment in inland waterway construction was 38.4 billion yuan, up 41.5% year on year.

Since the beginning of this year, China's port operations have maintained a good trend. From January to May, the total cargo throughput of ports in China reached 6.75 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%; The container throughput reached 122 million TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%.

Fu Xuyin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that the Ministry of Transport has continuously optimized the layout of port functions and promoted port transformation and upgrading. 17 provinces (cities) have formed port groups, and three world-class port groups are forming. The port's rail water intermodal transportation function is constantly strengthening, and 11 coastal container hubs and seaports have basically established a "one-stop" service platform. Data shows that from January to May, the national container rail water intermodal transportation volume reached 3.961 million TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 10.2%, effectively reducing logistics costs and improving operational efficiency.

The development of green, low-carbon, and intelligent water transportation has significantly accelerated

The development of green, low-carbon, and intelligent water transportation has significantly accelerated

The Standard for Energy Conservation Design of Water Transport Engineering, Guidelines for Green Design of Transport engineering#Port and harbor engineering and other standards were released to accelerate the green collection and distribution of bulk cargo in ports, establish a long-term mechanism for ship and port pollution prevention in the Yangtze River Economic Belt... A series of measures were taken to promote the green transformation of ports. From January to May this year, the proportion of coal and ore dredging through green transportation methods such as railways, waterways, enclosed belt corridors, and new energy vehicles further increased to 92.7% and 79.1%.

In terms of green development of ships, we will actively build a clean and low-carbon energy consumption system, and vigorously promote the use of shore power in key regions, key routes, and key ship berths. 12000 ships in the Yangtze River Economic Belt have completed the renovation of their power facilities. From January to May this year, nearly 40 million tons of shore power were used in ports and water service areas of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, an increase of 54% year-on-year.

The construction of smart ports and shipping has achieved significant results. Li Tianbi introduced that currently, China has built 16 automated container terminals and is currently constructing more than 10, with both completed and under construction automated container terminals ranking first in the world. At the same time, actively promote the construction of smart waterways, make full use of 5G, Beidou, Big data and other technologies, promote the trunk branch connection of the Yangtze River water system electronic waterway map, strengthen channel operation monitoring, promote the joint dispatching of multi echelon locks, and promote the digital and intelligent transformation and development of water service areas. The application of blockchain based sea freight import containers and bulk electronic delivery platforms is constantly expanding.

In addition, 9 thematic forums will be held this year, including maritime technology and safety, international seafarers, development of port and shipping enterprises, dredging, maritime culture, etc; The new captain and engineer Changsha Long provide a platform for exchange and mutual learning for front-line navigation workers; This year marks the 50th anniversary of China's restoration of its legitimate international maritime seat, and a special forum on "China and the International Maritime Organization's 50th Anniversary" has been organized for this purpose.

The science popularization and cultural activities of this year's Navigation Week will be held online and offline, and the navigation science popularization and offline activities will be organized in a centralized manner, such as the exhibition of award-winning works of youth navigation calligraphy and painting, and the finals of the National Navigation Science Popularization Knowledge Competition. Zhang Baochen, Executive Vice Chairman of the Chinese Society of Navigation, introduced that the number of national maritime science popularization education bases has increased from 45 to over 70, and all bases will be open to the public for free during the Navigation Day activity week.
