Chinese special manuscript: Where is the new channel for the low land and sea for the

Zhongxin (Chongqing) strategic interconnection and interconnection demonstration project under the international land and sea trade new channels, the freight volume will increase moderately after the epidemic, but the logistics operator reports that the new channels of Tiehai joint transportation continues to be high.Coupled with the unstable situation of China's economic recovery, due to financial tension, local governments have reduced freight subsidies for the new channels for land and sea.Many owners did not mind the longer shipping time, and chose to return to the cheaper Jianghai joint transportation, so that the goods were transported from Chongqing to Shanghai to Shanghai and then went to the sea.The new Luhai New Channel in the west is therefore facing a lot of challenges.

Luhai New Channel is one of the flagship projects of the China -Singapore (Chongqing) Strategic Interconnection Demonstration Project.Under the support of the National Development and Reform Commission of China and the leadership of Chongqing, the four -way channel circle of channels in August 2017 in the fourth provinces of Chongqing, Guizhou and Qianlong Province, cooperated to jointly build a logistics trade channel connecting western China and Asians.The south -direction channel of Guangxi Beibu Gulf was renamed Luhai New Channel in November 2018, and in October 2019, it expanded to cover 12 provinces, regions, cities, and Zhanjiang City of 12 provinces, regions, cities, and Guangdong Province in October 2019.

Under the influence of the crown disease epidemic and the flood of the Yangtze River in 2020, the Luhai New Channel has given full play to the advantages of replacement, helping enterprises to resume work and maintain the stability of the supply chain.The joining of Huaihua City, Hunan Province in July last year, has further expanded the provincial and inter -negotiation and cooperation mechanism of the Luhai New Channel to a new pattern of "13+2".

After the leadership of Chongqing City has completed the re -election earlier this year, it has continued to increase the construction of the new channel of Luhai, and positions this national strategy as one of the important contents to promote the construction of the new Chongqing.

Yuan Jiajun, Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee on March 21 this year to review the five -year action plan (referred to as a plan) to accelerate the construction of the Western Luhai New Channel.Official documents.

Yuan Jiajun requested to improve the status and competitiveness of the new land and sea channel in the national open strategy, accelerate the construction of a more economical, efficient, and sustainable land and sea new channels, expand all -round opening up, and provide strong support for the construction of new Chongqing.

On March 27, Yuan Jiajun held another leader of Chongqing's "four sets of teams"."Avilled iconic results" should accelerate the implementation plan and achieve five "new breakthroughs", including channel logistics transportation capacity, trade scale, and service efficiency.

The plan announced in May this year is to enhance the level of connection between the new channels of the land and sea, and provide support for the construction of the Shuangcheng Economic Circle in Chengdu -Chongqing.

This document also formulates key performance indicators: By 2027, the comprehensive logistics cost of the Luhai New Channel will decrease by 20 %, and the entire logistics operation time will be reduced by 30 %.At that time, the volume and value of the cargo and value of Chongqing will double, and the proportion of imports and exports from Asia in Asia will stabilize more than 70%.

However, in response to the above goals, the interviewed by the logistics industry in Chongqing pointed out that due to the weak economy in China and abroad, the transportation industry has not yet significantly recovered. At present, many cargo owners mainly consider saving freight and take less costs.

The industry player Tang Yuan told Lianhe Morning News that at present, the merchants are generally cautious or step -by -step, and the supply and demand are weak. The company has only a small number of containers recently used the new land and sea channel.

Freight Agent Lin Jun also revealed that he currently only use 5 % of the goods in the land and sea, "not too much."

The owner would rather let the goods "drift more days" on the river

The latest macro data released by Chongqing officially announced on October 20 shows that in the first three quarters of this year, the city's GDP (GDP) increased by 5.6 % year -on -year.0.4 percentage points.

However, Yang Hongyi, deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Statistics, acknowledged that there are still many factors for external instability and uncertainty, the domestic demand is still insufficient, the vitality in the growth is not strong.Essence

The freight forwarding Yang Xing told the United Zaobao that Chongqing's economic performance was not good in the first half of this year, and the recovery in the second half of the year was slow.Business volume ".

Yang Xing's company currently brings the wood, agricultural products and chemical resins of Southeast Asia to Chongqing through the new channel of the land, and to the Chongqing car parts to Southeast Asia.He said that the owner of the company's service "has some depression in the business, and everyone is not very popular this year."

According to Zheng Chong, the logistics operator, some cargo owners are currently not rushing to deliver due to the slowdown in orders. They would rather choose longer freight hours, so that the containers "drifted for a few days" on the river, avoiding the delivery of goods in advance, and need to pay the storage.fee.

Since the opening of the Central and European trains in 2011, although Chongqing has constituted the logistics channel pattern of southeast and northwest year by year, it is understood that the continuation of Jianghai Lianlian is the most important freight model.And it was shipped to Shanghai to go to the sea.

Yang Xing analyzed that Chongqing's current transportation model is diverse, but its advantages and disadvantages are the cheapest in Jianghai, but the longest time, and often faces the problem of congestion in the Yangtze River; air transport is the fastest, but the highest cost is the highest.As for the land and sea and the iron sea seas that are regarded as a discount plan, land cargo is faster and more reliable, but the cost is twice as expensive than the railway freight, and the capacity is relatively limited.

At present, the Luhai New Channel relies on Tiehai to transport it. The goods are exported from major railway stations such as Chongqing Unity Village and Yuzui Freight Station to Qinzhou Port, Guangxi.Yang Xing pointed out that several times of cargo loading and unloading were involved during the Tiehai joint transportation, and different transportation tools were up and down. "Every loading and unloading requires money, and the freight will not be cheap."

The expensive freight is not the focus of the problem is whether there is a cargo owner used

Chen Si, vice chairman of the Chongqing Branch of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce in China, pointed out in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that ChinaThe new Chongqing project has continued to promote the construction of the new channel of the land and sea over the years, focusing on strengthening interconnection, and the intention has always been to accelerate the logistics and transportation between Chongqing and the coast, saving transportation time, rather than reducing costs.

Chen Sibing said that the railway is not the cheapest way of transportation worldwide. The expensive freight of the new channel of the land and sea is actually "not a problem."

The Land -China New Channel Hai Railway Linking Candidate, which has been running for more than six years, has operated exceeded 30,000 on October 8 this year; on October 26, the trading volume of the trains exceeded 700,000 standard boxes, an increase of 14.8 % year -on -year.According to data from Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group, the trains increased from 178 in 2017 to 8820 last year, an increase of 49 times.

Chen Sibing Analysis, the users of the new channel of Luhai must be used because of "fast, good customer experience, not for cheap prices."

But Yang Xing analyzed that the Luhai New Channel did not have "the natural advantage of me". Whether it is price or flexibility, it is not as good as other transportation modes. It has faced structural challenges for a long time.He pointed out that it is generally not expensive or too cheap. Generally, this channel will not be selected.

Qinzhou Port services are not in place to connect and lag behind Shanghai and other large ports

The overall plan of the Western Land and Sea New Channel released by the National Development and Reform Commission of China in August 2019 determines that the new Luhai new channels include three main channels. Two of them starting from Chongqing and one from Chengdu, both of which lead to the exit of the Haikou of Guangxi Beibu Gulf.

This year is the year of the three -year promotion operation of the construction of the Land -China New Channel in Guangxi.Official data show that in the first half of this year, the Beibu Gulf Port completed the container throughput of nearly 3.61 million standard boxes, an increase of 14 % year -on -year; the Tiehai Lianlian Court of Travel ran 4510, a year -on -year increase of 9 %.

It is understood that the owner still faces many problems when the container arrives at the Beibu Gulf.Tang Yuan pointed out that the number of Qinzhou ports in Beibu Gulf is small and the frequency of shipping is limited. Generally, the container can only go to Southeast Asia. There is only one group of ships to Singapore in a week. "If you miss it, you have to wait until the next week."

Tang Yuan said that Qinzhou Port's service level is not in place, and customs clearance documents and cargo loading and unloading are delayed.Once the container cannot catch up with the ship, the owner must bear higher time and storage costs.

Lin Jun pointed out that the clearance of the Qinzhou Port is slow, which has a lot to do with the lack of local customs and customs experience.According to his observations, the Qinzhou Customs may not have enough categories of goods due to the processing. Whenever the category of cargo category that is encountered, the customs clearance will be delayed, and the efficiency will require a process.

Qinzhou Port has opened 76 domestic and foreign trade container routes, including 48 foreign trade container routes.However, some interviewees believe that the connectivity of Qinzhou Port is largely lagging behind Shanghai, Guangzhou and other large ports, which is currently the largest short board of the Luhai New Channel.

Yang Xing analyzed that although the transportation time from the Yangtze River along the Yangtze River from Chongqing was up to two weeks, as long as the goods arrived in Shanghai Port, the goods could be connected to the Danish Masisce Group, Taiwan Evergreen Sea Transport, France's Failure Ship and other internationally.The mother ship of the shipping giant can be transported to anywhere in the world.

The insufficient volume of western China is the main reason for international shipping giants to choose to parked the Port of Qinzhou.Lin Jun said that most of the containers of Qinzhou Port are currently transported by Chinese shipping companies such as COSCO Shipping and Xinhaifeng. Only a foreign ship company in Taiping Shipping is involved and lacks diversity.

He believes that the government must try to lobby international shipping giants to the transfer of Qinzhou Port, which drives the interconnection to rise sharply, and logistics costs can decrease more, so that more cargo owners use new Luhai channels.

Freight agency: If there are no subsidies, the owner does not take the new channel of the land and sea

It is understood that Chongqing officials have given high subsidies to all goods transported by the new channels of Luhai in the past six years, in order to reduce freight costs, improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of the channel, and encourage more cargo owners to adopt.

Tang Yuan revealed that through the Luhai New Channel, Tiehai transport a standard box (TEU). The price is not cheap at 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan (S $ 1318 to 1882) before the official subsidy.Yang Xing bluntly said: "If there is no subsidy, the owner will not take the new channel of the land and sea."

China's local finance continues to be tight, Tang Yuan pointed out that the speed and intensity of official subsidies have slowed down significantly this year, from 30 % to 40 % before to 15 % to 25 %.

Lin Jun said that the local government has no money and the subsidy policy is affected, which will definitely weaken the attractiveness of the new channel of the land and sea.

It is understood that the new leadership of Chongqing has pointed out that the subsidy policy implemented by the new channels of Luhai is more aimed at improving the amount of the channel, but lack of targeted and guiding.

Tang Yuan expects that the official may adjust the subsidy policy: "I believe that there will be no random subsidies in the next, it may subsidize the new energy industry that can truly drive the economy, such as new energy vehicles."

Ningbo Port's high efficiency improves the advantages of the Chongqing Channel

Chongqing has accelerated the steps to expand the logistics layout since 2017.The southbound passage (predecessor of the Luhai New Channel) was put into operation in September of that year, and the Chongqing Class (Chongqing to Ningbo) jointly developed by Zhoushan Port, Ningbo, Zhejiang and Chongqing Traffic Investment Group was also launched at the beginning of the year., That is, avoid transportation congestion.At that time, the governor of Zhejiang was Yuan Jiajun, the current secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee.

But unlike the south direction channel, the Chongqing Channel is a railway train that drives along the Yangtze River to Ningbo along the Yangtze River. After 57 hours, it arrives at Ningbo Port and connects the sea transport to a certain extent with the south direction channel.

Chongqing logistics industry Zheng Chong evaluated that in several logistics channels in Chongqing to the coast, the Chongqing Class was relatively successful.He pointed out that the platform company that operates the Chongqing Channel shows greater neutrality, does not engage in freight forwarding business, will not compete for customers and freight business with shipping companies, freight forwarding, only focus on providing public services, solve the problem of channel users, and optimize the experience experience."Do the convenience of the channel and the business environment."

Ningbo Zhoushan Port is a large port with a global cargo throughput of over 1 billion tons, ranking second in China.As early as 2009, the port was comprehensively increasing the volume of iron -sea transportation business in 2009. It increased year by year from the 1690 bonus box of that year, and for the first time in 2020, it exceeded the millions of sea iron joint transportation boxes.Compared with Qinzhou Port, which is not clear on weekends, Ningbo Port is endless all year round.

Zheng Chong evaluated that although the subsidy given by the Chongqing Channel is very low, the number of trains and bonuses exceeds the new channels of the land and sea, because the connection and efficiency of the port.He pointed out that the Ningbo Port will give priority to arranging the container of Tiehai Lianlong to ship from the railway and have service guarantees.

Tang Yuan, who is also a logistics industry in Chongqing, believes that the operator should focus more on providing high -quality public services for channel users, and more widely attracts partners including private enterprises to participate in the construction and use of channels.
