Study On The Development Of Yantze River Waterway Container Transportation

International container transportation derived from 50's of 20th centuries later. It is developing rapidly because of its high efficiency, good transportation quality and short transportation time. In China, container transportation have been developing enough since began from 80's of 20th centuries, and obtained very important status on international container transportation market. Yangtze River runs through the east and west, it is the gold watercourse of China. The economy strip of Yangtze River holds important status in China's economy development. Yangtze River container transportation has the excellence of low cost, a great deal of transportation, and less pollution. Therefore, developing Yangtze River container transportation is either the requirement of the last development strategy in China's economy, or the important act of pushing the west development in China.This thesis firstly introduces briefly the development course and development trend of international and China container transportation, then analyses in detail the outline of Yangtze River waterway container transportation market from the changes of Yangtze River waterway container line, the outline of Yangtze River waterway container transportation boat companies, and the development trend of Yangtze River waterway container transportation. Secondly, the thesis analyses carefully Yangtze River waterway routs and the port outline, discusses the character of the market ware kinds, then analyses the competition advantage and competition disadvantage among the waterway transportation, railway transportation and road transportation, summarizes the problem we faces in the course of developing Yangtze River waterway container transportation market. Thirdly, the thesis analyses qualitatively the future prospect from the economic developing outline and character of Yangtze River valley, and the development gold and direction of every province in Yangtze River valley, then predicts quantitatively Yangtze River waterway container throughput with statistic method. In the last, the thesis analyses the large prospect of Yangtze River container transportation market in 2010, based on the result of the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Facing the actual problem, from developing multiple through transportation; stressing information building, market supervising and trade self-discipline; stressing port building, foundation building and sea-rout building, the author promotes some viable suggestions and measures, therefore it acts reference role in some way that how to make Yangtze River waterway container transportation market develop healthily and rapidly.
