Although Bao Feiyang is a staunch supporter of the outlying island deep-water port plan, he does not oppose the construction plan of Gaoqiao New Port. After all, even if the outlying island deep-water port plan is approved now, the funds are in place, and the entire construction cycle will be relatively long. Compared with Under normal circumstances, whether it is the third phase of the Gaoqiao Port Area or the fourth and fifth phases of the Gaoqiao New Port, the construction period is much shorter. Under normal circumstances, it can be completed and put into use in two to three years. For expressways For the rising Pujiang Port, this rhythm is just right. ¡°However, even if the Gaoqiao New Port is built and the container handling capacity of Pujiang Port reaches 14 million TEUs, it will still be far from enough. The container throughput of Pujiang Port can now reach a growth rate of nearly 40%. It was 3 million the year before last, 4.2 million last year, more than 5 million this year, and it should reach more than 6 million next year. By that time, Pujiang Port will have The port area is not enough. By then, if Pujiang Port can maintain this growth rate, the annual increase will not be more than one million TEUs, but two million TEUs, or even three or four million TEUs. This sounds a bit exaggerated. After all, it is difficult for anyone to believe that Pujiang Port can maintain a growth rate of more than 40%. From the perspective of marginal benefits, it is normal to grow quickly at the beginning, but then the growth rate slows down. This is growth. However, as far as Bao Feiyang knows, Pujiang Port can indeed maintain such a speed. Ten years later, Pujiang Port will not be the third largest port in the world, but the largest port in the world. Its annual container throughput exceeds Xincheng and Xingang, reaching more than 2,000 10,000 TEUs, six or seven times more than today. If we consider it at the level of 10 million teu, Gaoqiao New Port is the best choice, but if we consider it at 20 million or 30 million teu, Gaoqiao New Port can only be a transitional plan. However, Hou Ronghua obviously has no such considerations. He believes that after the completion of the Gaoqiao New Port Area, coupled with the transformation and expansion of the existing major port areas of Pujiang Port, as well as the dredging of the Tianjiang Channel, the container throughput capacity of Pujiang Port will exceed 1% in the future. Fifteen million teu, thus firmly ranking among the top three in the world. However, it is still difficult to hit the world's largest port. After all, the current throughput of Xingang and Xincheng, the world's largest and second largest ports, is only about 16 million teu. The increase will not exceed 1 million teu, and it will reach at least 25 million teu in ten years. It should be said that Hou Ronghua¡¯s current plan has far exceeded Pujiang City¡¯s original most optimistic plan for the Gaoqiao New Port District. According to the original plan, the fifth phase of the Gaoqiao New Port project will not be completed until 2020. After completion, the entire Gaoqiao New Port The throughput capacity of the port area, including the original port area and the new port area, will reach more than 50 million tons, including 5 million teu. This plan was proposed in 1998 and 1999 and is relatively conservative. Hou Ronghua directly proposed Gaoqiao The construction scale of Xingang has doubled, and the throughput of Gaoqiao Port can even reach tens of millions of TEUs. This should also be the change brought about by Tan Ma Xi and Xingang Group. After Hou Ronghua's report, the host came to the stage and invited Jill Smith, Vice President of Maersk Asia Pacific, Li Baohe, President of Xincheng Port Group Greater China, Cheng Kewu, General Manager of Huayuan Group Pujiang Company, and Qian, Executive Deputy District Director of Chundong New District. Zai Xiang and others took the stage to conduct a dialogue around the construction project of Gaoqiao New Port Area and the construction of Pujiang International Shipping Center. The first person to speak was Qian Zaixiang, executive deputy director of Chundong New District: "The construction of Pujiang International Shipping Center will be the rise of an international container hub port in China. Together with Xingang, which has become an international shipping center, it will jointly become a pillar of China's economy and An important node of world economic integration, it will also play a huge role in Pujiang becoming an international economic center city, and the construction of Gaoqiao New Port will also become a key issue related to Pujiang becoming an international shipping center, and ultimately determine the future of Pujiang City in the new century. "Positioning." Qian Zaixiang said: "Looking at the history of the development of Pujiang City, we can see that Pujiang gradually developed based on the port and shipping industry. Shipping is the main condition for the development of Pujiang, and the development of Pujiang is the Pujiang shipping center. The rise of the city has provided the possibility. As the saying goes, the city prospers with the port, and the port helps the city prosper" Qian Zaixiang expressed his position loudly: "Chundong New District has determined the construction plan of three major ports. These three major ports are the information port, the airport, and the deep water port. Port, and the deep-water port is to build the Gaoqiao Port Area and the New Port Area into the main port area of ??the Pujiang Port. The construction of the Gaoqiao New Port will be synchronized with the improvement of the Tianjiang Estuary Channel. It will take ten to twenty years to increase the Tianjiang Estuary Channel. Doubling the water depth to 12.5 meters, and building a deep-water port with a tens of millions of TEU level" Qian Zaixiang said that Chundong New District will vigorously support the Tianjiangkou channel regulation project and the construction of Gaoqiao New Port, and then Maersk and Huayuan The group also stated on behalf of the shipping company that it will increase the number of liner ships and support the construction of Gaoqiao New Port, and expressed optimism about the prospects of Gaoqiao New Port. Li Baohe from Xincheng Port Group expressed Xincheng Port's optimism for Gaoqiao New Port and its intention to cooperate with Pujiang Port Group The whole discussion process was very exciting. It seems that Pujiang has become an international shipping center.It's within reach and the situation is great. Xu Minyi sat next to Bao Feiyang with a very ugly face. Although a forum could not represent the city's decision-making, it could to a large extent reflect the current trend in the city. Basically, there was only one official forum. The theme is the construction of Pujiang Shipping Center and Gaoqiao New Port. Judging from this situation, the construction plan of Gaoqiao New Port has basically been determined. When it came to the question and answer session, Bao Feiyang also raised his hand. Until the third question, Qian Zaixiang took the initiative and said: "I saw our youngest district mayor in Pujiang City, and Bao Feiyang, the district mayor of Huixun District, also raised his hand. Stop it, District Chief Feiyang. If you have any questions, bring them up and let¡¯s discuss them together!¡± Bao Feiyang smiled slightly, stood up and said, ¡°I gained a lot from participating in this forum today, especially what I just heard from Mr. Hou and everyone. I am also very excited about the prospects for the construction of Gaoqiao New Port and Pujiang International Shipping Center, but I have a question" "As we all know, our country has become a major manufacturing country in the world, and manufacturing in China has become a phenomenon. This phenomenon is still spreading to more areas. To a certain extent, China has become the center of the world's manufacturing industry. A large number of products are manufactured here and then shipped to the world. Take Pujiang Port as an example. In recent years, the number of containers in Pujiang Port The throughput has increased by about 40% every year, which means that if Pujiang Port can maintain this growth rate, the container throughput will double every two years, from 3 million the year before last to 420 last year. Ten thousand, 5.6 million next year, and 7 million the year after that. Even if the growth rate is adjusted, it will only be about 30%. In ten years¡¯ time, the container throughput of Pujiang Port will not be 10 million teu, or even 20 million teu, but will be It¡¯s 30 million teu¡¡±
