Market Research Report of China’s Port

Industry, 2008

Description

z Selling point
This report provides a general review on China port industry and details of ports according

to regions such as The Yangtze River System and The Pearl River system.

z Executive Summary
In the whole year of 2007, the cargo throughput of China's ports amounted to 6.41 billion

tons, and the container throughput reached 114 million TEU. In the same year, the

passenger throughput of the ports increased to 206 million people.

The cargo throughput and container throughput of China's ports have remained first

among the world’s nations for four years. China has accounted for nearly ¼ of the world’s

container throughput. It already has 14 large-scale ports, with a throughput of at least a

hundred million tons.

In 2007, coal, oil, metal ores, construction materials, steel, and machinery equipment are

the main transported goods, which occupied nearly 70% of the total freight. However, the

growth rates of cargo species differentiated. The growth rates of coal, steel, machinery and

equipment got close to or higher than 20% or more. Relatively, oil and mine construction

materials grew slowly, with a growth rate below 5%. In energy fields, industrial raw

materials obtained rapid growth -- mainly in the North, with its heavy chemical industry.

Northern ports like Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yingkou, Qingdao and Rizhao Port, are becoming

the fastest-growing ports, with a growth rate is close to or over 20%. The growth rate of

the southern ports, however, was below that average.

Strong import and export trade has increased the demand for coastal ports, leading to

significantly higher investment in coastal port construction than that of inland river ports,

and larger construction projects on coastal ports. The larger ports – ports that take in more

than 10,000 tons at a time – are mostly coastal ports.

At present, the main features of China's port industry reflect more intense competition

between ports and a trend towards “cluster developing.” Most ports have developed in

three major clusters along China’s coast from south to north: the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze

River Delta and the Bohai Bay's. The expanded development of coastal ports has created

both greater competition and greater cooperation between ports, as old monopolies have

weakened. Thus, in order to take better advantage of the improvement of the maritime

industry and deal with the fierce competition, there has been a trend towards mergers and

reorganizations between ports.
