The pattern of automobile logistics in China's four major ports has emerged


It was learned from relevant parties that, with the rapid development of China’s port construction, favorable conditions have been brought to the development of water transportation and automobile logistics. The logistics value of more than RMB 6 billion in China’s cars has attracted the attention of a group of investors. At the same time that Chinese and foreign companies are involved in the automotive logistics industry, the competitive landscape of the automobile logistics market in Dalian, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou's four major coastal ports with huge investments has become clearly visible.

The huge potential of China's auto logistics market seems to be activating the investment desire of the port overnight. Entering this year, the Port Logistics has begun to have a brand new content: a joint venture between Dalian Port Group, Japan Post, and COSCO Pacific; the Dalian Automobile Terminal Construction Project with a total investment of 600 million yuan was formally launched; the Guangzhou Port has a reliable parking capacity of 6,000 cars. The car terminals have been put into use one after another; the Beigang Pool Terminal, which Tianjin Port is fully building, is under construction and is said to be able to handle the unloading of 100,000 cargo vehicles. Shanghai Port is also implementing its own automotive logistics projects.

Car roaming terminals compete for thermal construction

In particular, the National Development and Reform Commission promulgated and implemented the “Auto Industry Development Policy”, which has brought new growth potential to the four major ports: Dalian Xingang, Tianjin Xingang, Shanghai Port, and Huangpu Port have been designated as vehicle import ports by the state. This means that imported vehicles must be imported through the above ports, and all import bonded port areas must not store automobiles for the purpose of entering the domestic market. Although the four major ports have different advantages in their hinterland support, the competition for a market share of Wrestling Automotive Logistics has started from the investment in construction of automobile roll-on terminals.

Tianjin Port has become the hub of imported car sales systems. Tianjin Port spent RMB 260 million to build a Ro-Ro terminal at Tianjin Port North Harbour Pool, mainly for the loading and unloading of commodity vehicles, palm oil, soybean oil and other grain and oil products. The length of the pier coastline is 471.69 meters and it has two 50,000-ton berths. The annual designed transport capacity is 100,000 commercial vehicles and 1.5 million tons of grain and oil. At the same time plan to build a car distribution center.

After the Dalian Auto Terminal is completed, it can store 14,000 cars at a time, and its annual designed capacity of 600,000 vehicles. The first phase of the project has a 50,000-ton berth, two 10,000-ton berths, and a 675-m-long shoreline ro-ro terminal. Its goal is to target China's largest car terminal. In addition, the Japanese shipping company and COSCO Pacific Co., Ltd. invested 72 million US dollars in the Dalian company has two berths in Dalian, located in Dalian Bonded Area of ​​Dalian Automobile Terminal has 600,000 annual throughput, and has a 300,000 square meters of freight yard, It can accommodate 23,000 vehicles at the same time.

Insiders pointed out that Guangzhou is expected to form a huge automobile industry belt in the near future and become China’s “Detroit”. It is understood that Huangpu Old Port Terminal, Xinsha, Xingang, Hung Sansha, etc., are the main terminals for car operations in Guangzhou. In order to better meet the requirements of automobile transportation, Guangzhou Port, while using existing terminal facilities, has transformed a 30,000-ton bulk cargo berth of Xinsha Port under the Group into a ro-ro terminal, which has invested more than 1,400 yuan. Million yuan, a reliable parking space for ro-ro vessels of 6,000 parking spaces. In this way, the capacity of Guangzhou Port to handle ro-ro ships on the eastern shore of the Pearl River will be strengthened. On the Zhujiang River, the Guangzhou Port Group is aiming at the development of the automobile industry group in Nansha District. The construction of the Ro-Ro terminal in Nansha will be its next plan. It seeks to build a ro-ro terminal with the parties concerned in the Nansha region to keep pace with the Nansha region. The need for automotive economic development.

It has been rushed to Shanghai Port, the location of the world's largest port, its car logistics projects have been secretive, but as an important port for China's major transport foreign trade import and export cars is an indisputable fact. The Shanghai Port Jungong Road Harbor Company took only 7 hours to successfully ship 1,233 cars to the Middle East, setting a new record for the speed of domestic car shipments. The beautiful "Middle East Campaign" reflects the strength of Shanghai Port Auto Logistics on the one hand. At present, the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone has become an important base for imported cars at the Shanghai port, and its bonded warehousing and re-export have been further developed. From January to June last year, Shanghai Port imported 5,819 cars in the bonded zone warehousing re-export trade, an increase of 80.6%, accounting for 89.3% of the total imports.

Ro-ro transport market is highly sought after

The four major ports have focused their efforts on the construction of logistics infrastructure. They have shown strong interest in the ro-ro transportation of Chinese and foreign shipping companies.

Dalian Port, the world's largest ro-ro shipping company, Japan Post Shipping Co., Ltd., and COSCO Pacific Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of COSCO Group, the largest shipping company in China, signed the Dalian Automobile Terminal Logistics Project Confirmation in Hong Kong with a total investment of US$72 million in Dalian. Hong Kong builds and operates car-rocketed terminals and develops automotive logistics; Sinotrans and Mitsui established a joint venture with Sinotrans-Mitsui Mitsui Shipping Co., Ltd. in April 2004 to announce its entry into the automotive logistics market; before that, the world’s largest ship-to-ship transport company, Japan Shipyard Clubs and COSCO Group jointly established COSCO Japan Post Auto Transport Co., Ltd. Japan Kawasaki Motors Co. At present, the export base of Honda (China) Co., Ltd. has clearly cooperated with the Guangzhou Port Group. Afterwards, its export cars will be exported via the Xinsha Ro-Ro terminal.

At the same time, domestic logistics companies also have amazing actions. For example, Daejeon Group and the European largest auto logistics company Geoffrey signed a letter of intent for joint venture, and the two parties have entered into the Chinese automotive and spare parts supply chain logistics market; Shenzhen Changhang Industrial Development Co., Ltd., Japan Toyoto Marine Co., Ltd., Japan Toyota Tsusho Corporation Shenzhen Changhang Fenghai Automobile Logistics Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the three major companies, was also established. Changhang Fenghai owns six ro-ro ships that can carry between 600 and 700 cars and has also started to travel between Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Although the ports generally have a good prospect for investment and many ship companies are eager to find it, the investment in ro-ro cars is huge and the return on investment will take some time.

According to statistics, the global ro-ro fleet has about 90 vessels, each of which can carry 6,000 to 7,000 finished vehicles at a time, and has an average annual capacity of 3 million vehicles. However, it is worth mentioning that in the large-scale construction of ro-ro terminals, China’s ports should also recognize such a direction. Water transport vehicles are not only a form of ro-ro transportation. Although the current mainstream of global automobile water transport is ro-ro transport, in South Africa, international container carriers have entered the auto vehicle transportation market. It can be said that the pattern of dominance of the contemporary automobile ro-ro ships is being decomposed and shaken. This is also a psychological preparation for China's port and logistics companies, which are investing heavily in roll-on terminals, to respond to the potentially chilling automotive logistics market.
