Jiangsu, From A Major Water Pport Province To A Strong Water Pport Province

"Do not belittle this towing head, it can towing the fleet of 10 thousand ton class cargo ships, equivalent to 4 trains and 500 20 ton trucks."

In March 24th, when interviewed by Beijing, Hangzhou and the Grande Canale, the staff of the provincial Waterway Bureau briefed the reporters on the towing fleet after sailing.

On the same day, the launching ceremony of the "12th Five-Year" construction of the national inland waterway was held in Hubei, Jiangsu and Guangxi, marking the start of the "national strategy" of the Yangtze River and other inland waterway pportation.

Dong Wenhu, director of the Department of Waterway Bureau of the Provincial Department of pport, said that the launching of the "national strategy" will bring a new round of opportunities for the construction of inland waterway in Jiangsu.

Green water pport opens up "golden waterway" for economic and social development.

The Yangtze River, which connects the East and West, connects the north and the south of the Grande Canale. It is the main channel for Jiangsu's inland waterway pportation.

Large capacity, less land occupation, low energy consumption and low pollution, the start of the "national strategy" has attracted more people's attention to low-key "green water pport".

It is estimated that, in terms of capital input, the same pport capacity will be formed. The proportion of capital investment in waterways, railways and highways is 1: 3: 7; in terms of pportation cost, the waterway is only equivalent to the 1/7 of the highway and the 1/3 of the railway.

As a matter of fact, Jiangsu, which is close to the river and is surrounded by rivers and lakes, has the advantage of navigation. The annual average volume and turnover volume of waterborne freight accounts for more than 1/4 and 2/3 of the total social pport volume of the whole province.

Especially in coal and mine construction materials pportation, water pportation has always been in the leading position. It has to bear 60% of the total coal consumption and 80% of mine construction materials every year, which provides strong support for regional economic development.

To maximize the advantages of water pportation, rivers need to work hard in waterway construction.

Take the Beijing Hangzhou the Grande Canale for thousands of years as an example. For a long time, due to shallow waterways and low bridges, blocking and blocking accidents occurred frequently, and increased a lot of time and logistics costs.

In 11th Five-Year, Jiangsu invested 10 billion yuan to expand the Grande Canale and Hangzhou.

By the end of last year, the construction of the Subei canal has been completed for 6 years, reaching the standard of two grade waterway, and the Changzhou section of the South of Jiangsu canal has reached the three grade standard.

"The two class fairway means that the 2000 ton class ships can be navigable all day, this is the only high-grade shipping line that is next to the Yangtze River, and the three grade channel can meet the navigation conditions of 1000 ton class ships."

Wan Jiang Po, the provincial Waterway Bureau explained.

What is the benefit of voyage?

For enterprises along the river, "adding" to the construction of waterways directly brings their logistics costs "subtraction".

Xiang Huanbin, director of the special steel storage and Transportation Department of Huaisteel group, told reporters that after the two pformation of the North Jiangsu canal, the ships that could pass from the ships below 1000 tons to 2000 tons of ships, the efficiency of port operations increased by 20%, and the annual cost savings reached about 3000000.

What surprises them more is that when the ship is cleared, the material loss is also much lower than that of the small boat. "In this respect, we can estimate about 15000000 yuan a year."

Opportunities superimposed, Jiangsu inland waterway construction will speed up

In recent years, Jiangsu will accelerate and strengthen the development of inland waterway pport as an important measure to speed up the pformation of development mode and promote economic pformation and upgrading.

The provincial government specially formulated the "opinions on speeding up the development of water pport".

During the "11th Five-Year" period, the investment in inland waterway construction outside the Yangtze River exceeded 15 billion yuan for the first time.

However, at present, the supply of inland waterway infrastructures in Jiangsu can not meet the needs of economic and social development. Many waterways are still in a natural state, especially the proportion of high-grade waterways is low.

It is predicted that the freight volume of Jiangsu inland river will reach 6.7 billion tons in 2015.

Speeding up the development of inland waterway pport has become the common expectation of all sectors of society.

In 12th Five-Year, the 12.5 meters deep water channel of the Yangtze River was extended to Nanjing, and the "national strategy" of inland navigation such as the Yangtze River was officially launched.

The superposition of these double opportunities will boost the construction of inland waterway in Jiangsu into the fast lane.

Our province is clear that by 2020, the Yangtze River and the Beijing Hangzhou the Grande Canale will be built as the main axis, with the three level waterway as the main body, and the "two vertical four horizontal" 3455 km high grade trunk line network.

A big drama of water pport to the province of water pportation and strong province has been playing a great passion in Jiangsu.
