Huangshi New Port: Building a High Quality Development New Port City with "One Exit and One Advance"
2023-08-15
The vast Yangtze River flows eastward, and hundreds of boats compete on the river surface. The ship sailed to the Huangshi section of the Yangtze River, passing through Xisaishan, and soon arrived at Huangshi New Port located in Huangshi City, Hubei Province. Looking ahead, the construction of the Huangshi New Port Phase III project is in full swing. The installation of four gantry cranes on the general berth has been completed, and the construction of the bulk cargo berth and rear yard is intensifying. Liu Zhaodi, the person in charge of Huangshi Xingang Port Co., Ltd., said that the Huangshi Xingang Phase III project is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2024. At that time, Huangshi New Port will have 23 berths and a cargo handling capacity of 80 million tons, enabling the gathering, circulation, and trading of bulk commodities such as ore, grain, and wood. Huangshi, born from water and thriving from ports. As early as 1993, Huangshi was listed as an open city along the Yangtze River. Huangshigang has also been approved as a national first-class port for opening up to the outside world, and is the closest port from the Yangtze River to the sea in the east of Hubei. However, for a long time, the utilization efficiency of Huangshigang Port was not high. More than 100 docks are scattered along the more than 70 kilometers of the Yangtze River coastline, obscuring the river scenery and causing heavy shipping pollution. The extensive layout has brought many drawbacks. Yan Jiqing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Huangshi Xingang (Logistics) Industrial Park, introduced that in 2014, Huangshi collaborated with Shenzhen Port Group to integrate the city's port resources and build Huangshi Xingang according to the standards of the sea port in the best conditions of Qipanzhou. Over the past few years, through intensive development, the vitality of Huangshi New Port has been constantly emerging, with the demolition of over 100 small bulk docks, the layout of 15 10000 ton berths within a 2-kilometer radius, and the closure and operation of bonded logistics centers. In 2022, the throughput of Huangshi New Port reached 29.3 million tons, setting a new historical high since its opening and operation. Relying on its own advantages such as transportation location, deep water port, and open platform, Huangshi New Port actively promotes hub oriented industrial agglomeration and creates a high-quality development new port city. The 400000 ton high-purity cathode copper clean production project of Zhongse Daye Hongsheng Copper Industry is a key local project and a typical "big in and big out" project. The project is located approximately 4 kilometers from Huangshi Xingang Port. Lu Ming, Deputy Director of the Production and Operation Center of Hongsheng Copper Industry, told reporters that the company consumes about 2 million tons of copper concentrate powder each year. Choosing to layout in the Huangshi Xingang Park, raw materials such as copper concentrate can quickly enter the factory, and high-purity cathode copper products can also be directly delivered to Zhejiang, Shanghai, and other places through the Xingang Port. "Only transportation costs can save 40 million yuan per year." The company and the port coexist and prosper, and the development trend of multimodal transportation is becoming increasingly rapid. On the basis of normalizing the operation of three intermodal transportation routes, Huangshi New Port has also launched seven intermodal transportation modes, including "scattered to centralized", "centralized to scattered", and "centralized to centralized", to meet the intermodal transportation needs of various enterprises and different types of goods through customized services. With the convenience of connecting the river to the sea and the advantages of port park integration, a large number of industrial cluster projects such as Baosteel Xingang Industrial Park and Xinxing Pipe Industry have settled in Huangshi Xingang in recent years. The small scattered dock has exited and key projects have entered. Between 'one retreat and one advance', Huangshi New Port has brought surging momentum to the urban transformation and development. In the first half of the year, the Huangshi Xingang Park completed a total industrial output value of 13.984 billion yuan above designated size, a year-on-year increase of 336%. This will become the key to Hubei's development
