The development trend of modern logistics in coastal areas

With the acceleration of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, the rapid development of modern logistics industry in the Yangtze River Delta has become a focus of attention. Not long ago in Nantong at the 2009 Pacific Forum, dozens of experts and scholars at home and abroad on "Jianghai linkage of modern logistics". World famous for American Rand Co representative is stunned, said the Yangtze River Delta will become the world's largest modern logistics base.

Jiangsu is a good place to find the world

Looking around the world, has been unable to find a better place to develop modern logistics in the Yangtze River Delta, especially in Jiangsu along the Yangtze River, not long before, here will become the world's largest logistics industry to lead the development of the base." James Thompson, President of Rand Co's speech hanging the appetite of the participants. Rand's research shows that if the Chinese economy as a locomotive to revitalize the world economy, then the Yangtze River Delta region is one of the most powerful engine, while Jiangsu is the most unique region of the advantages. Rand Co Logistics Center Research Director EricF Peltz said, Jiangsu along the coast, not only become the international capital and industry to accelerate the transfer of the land, it Chinese domestic capital and industry, there are also enlarge the agglomeration effect of adsorption. Especially with the accelerated development of Jiangsu coastal temperature, this advantage is more obvious.

The latest statistics show that the first half of this year, Jiangsu logistics industry achieved a total income of 133 billion 140 million yuan, an increase of 13.4%; complete ocean cargo transportation turnover 849 tons kilometers, an increase of 35.2%, the logistics industry showed vigorous development momentum. "You can't stop the momentum." EricF Peltz said.

Coastal development of modern logistics platform

Sitting on the superposition of the advantages of the two major national strategy, the Jiangsu coast will quickly from the economic depression to the industrial heights, and the development and construction of the grand harbour, is bound to create the first platform for the rise of modern logistics. Peltz said that the current coastal areas in Jiangsu and Holland is actually closer to the Rotterdam. Holland continued to implement the strategy of the port, the port city of a population of only 600 thousand to build an important international trade center, Western Europe and the European Union national cargo distribution center, to become the world's gateway". Such experience is worth learning from Jiangsu.

Currently, the Jiangsu coast has two tons of Lianyungang port and Nantong port, in the functional positioning, Lianyungang port will highlight the role of the Eurasian bridgehead, to create a joint regional logistics center. Nantong is the Yangtze River port linkage, highlighting the combination of Shanghai international shipping center functions. This unique pattern of North South interaction, Jianghai linkage for the rise of a world-class logistics base to create a prerequisite.

Ji Jianhua, executive vice president of the Institute of logistics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, professor pointed out that the development of advanced manufacturing and modern logistics industry is always accompanied by mutual reliance on each other. He said that a new round of Jiangsu coastal development to highlight the development of new coastal industry as the core, nearly a thousand kilometers along the coastline is becoming the new energy, new materials, new equipment and new industrial agglomeration heights, a common feature and the development of these industries, is the need for a set of matched with the "large volume" do support system. $page$

Let the real logistics flow up the need for collaborative linkage

So, how can we make modern logistics in Jiangsu, Tongjiang, the real sea flow up, experts suggest that the establishment of collaborative linkage mechanism is the key.

CPPCC member Jiang Yiren suggested that a pressing matter of the moment is to establish the Yangtze River Delta region of Jianghai linkage coordination mechanism, to break the boundaries of administrative divisions in the market as a link, make the corresponding policy, play UMPAY, give support in customs clearance, logistics fees and so on, encourage and guide the choice of Jianghai transport. Huang Renwei, vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences pointed out that the construction of Shanghai international shipping center is a national strategy, but also the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations, including Jiangsu, including the common tasks and objectives. Jiangsu should actively participate in the construction of Shanghai international shipping center, as the manufacturing center of the Yangtze River Delta to the north and South wings extended as the hard power of Shanghai shipping center will be extended to the north and South wings, Jiangsu should grasp the opportunity to play the comparative advantages, identify the location in the cooperation, to seek a breakthrough in the competition.

Peltz reminded that Jiangsu to build a world-class logistics base, we must jump out of the decentralized pattern, take the road of intensive development of the third party logistics. He pointed out that the development of logistics can not only blindly expand the logistics infrastructure, more important is to know how to share resources. At present, China's logistics industry is relatively fragmented, third party logistics providers accounted for only 20% of the market, while the EU accounted for 35%, the United States accounted for 57%, Japan accounted for 80%.

Fortunately, collaborative linkage has become the consensus of all parties, Jiangsu has taken the pace of regional integration of the logistics industry. Nantong, Suzhou and other cities and Shanghai, Ningbo and other regional logistics nodes active interaction, the establishment of a cooperative relationship. I believe in time, a change in the pattern of the world's logistics industry in the modern logistics industry will rise in the coastal areas of Jiangsu.
