Why is Qingdao Port allocated to Jinan?

The fierce competition between ports is not conducive to the unification of prices. It is easy for vicious competition, which is not conducive to port upgrading. Qingdao Port is actually a step for all ports in Shandong to be merged into Shandong Port Group and managed by Shandong SASAC.

As for the profit distribution, it is basically unchanged, and the income before the merger will continue to be distributed according to the proportion of equity. For example, before the merger of Qingdao Port, the income was very high. After the merger, the income ratio remains unchanged. Moreover, Qingdao Port has the highest share in Shandong Port Group, so it has the highest right to speak.

Shandong Port Group is headquartered in Qingdao, and its impact on Qingdao's GDP will not change directly. Because the income remains unchanged, it will not be said that the income from other places will be transferred to Qingdao. However, the headquarters of Shandong Port Group is located in Qingdao, and some headquarters staff will emigrate to Qingdao. These people are all high-income groups, which is conducive to improving Qingdao's local consumption power. Shandong Port Group is located in the cruise home port area of Shibei District, Qingdao.
