How is the container throughput of Shanghai Port ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years?

By1June 65438+June 65438+1October, the State Council officially decided to speed up the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center with Shanghai as the center and Jiangsu and Zhejiang as its wings. Subsequently, the container throughput of Shanghai Port increased rapidly, reaching 2 1.7 1.8 million cases in 2006 and 37 1.33 million cases in 2006. From 20 10 to 20 16, the container throughput of Shanghai Port ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years.

"The endless river surface at the mouth of the Yangtze River, uncertain sandbanks and turbulent river regime have brought great inconvenience to waterway regulation." Ji Lan, deputy general manager of CCCC Shanghai Waterway Bureau, told the reporter that by the completion of the third phase of construction, Shanghai's container throughput has reached 30 million TEUs, ranking first in the world, which is the most intuitive result of the governance work.

But nowadays, there are more and more large ships, and the navigation channels with advanced design in those days are facing new problems of insufficient depth and width. Ji Lan revealed that at present, they are exploring the possibility of widening the deep-water channel. In addition, at the end of 20 10, the Ministry of Transport approved the Yangtze River Estuary Waterway Development Plan. According to the plan, it will take 10-20 years to focus on building a "one main and two auxiliary" waterway system. Ji Lan said that one main channel is now the main channel, two auxiliary channels are the southern channel and the northern port, and one is the northern branch. At present, the regulation of Nangang waterway is in progress, and the preliminary development and research work of Beigang waterway has also been started to create a better navigation environment for Shanghai Port.

In order to speed up the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center, the second and third phases of Yangshan Deepwater Port were completed from 2006 to 2008. After the completion of the third phase project of Yangshan Deepwater Port Area, the coastline of 5.6 km deepwater container terminal has been obtained, with 70,000-60,000 dwt deepwater container berths 16, with a total designed throughput of 9.3 million TEUs, and the scale effect has become increasingly prominent.

"The fourth phase of the project currently under construction will build a 2350-meter container terminal with seven container berths of 50,000-70,000 tons, with a designed annual throughput of 6.3 million TEUs." Shen Mingda, Party Secretary and Chairman of CCCC Shanghai Third Hospital, revealed that the fourth phase of the project is the largest automated container terminal in the world, which can realize intelligent and unmanned operation in the whole process of terminal loading and unloading, horizontal transportation and yard loading and unloading. It is expected to be put into trial operation at the end of 20 17.
