Why is the construction of Orchard Port different from ordinary ports?

The construction of Orchard Port is different from the general port, mainly because of its different functions and positioning. Orchard Port is the core area of Liangjiang New Area, the first national development and opening-up new area in inland China, and it is a comprehensive hub port integrating port, logistics and industry. It is different from ordinary ports in the following aspects:

1. Location: Orchard Port is located in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing. Compared with coastal ports, it is closer to inland areas, so it has more convenient inland navigation advantages.

2. Business model: Orchard Port adopts a business model different from traditional ports. It pays attention to the trinity of port, logistics and industry, and realizes the coordinated development of port, logistics and industry by optimizing resource allocation and integrating industrial chain, thus improving the overall operational efficiency.

3. Facilities and equipment: Orchard Port has advanced port facilities and equipment, such as vertical wharf and automatic loading and unloading equipment. The configuration of these facilities and equipment enables Orchard Port to better meet the logistics needs of inland areas and improve the operational efficiency of the port.

4. Scope of service: Orchard Port not only provides port services, but also undertakes the functions of logistics and industrial development. Through the construction of Hougang Logistics Park, it will provide logistics support for the industrial development in the surrounding areas, and also provide a broader investment and development platform for domestic and foreign enterprises.

To sum up, the construction of Orchard Port is different from general ports, mainly because of its unique geographical location, business model, facilities and services.
