Hebei Coastal Port Integrates The Trend Research

Port, a kind of scarce resource, is an important active factor in a country's development especially in relative industries promotion; industries group formation, cyclical economy developing, optimal industries distribution and regional economy integration. Ports development is a significant aspect in our country's growth. The issuance of National Seaports Layout (in August 2006) indicates that our seaports construction and development are confronted with a new stage. Guided by the Layout , reorganization is in rapid progress among ports.Hebei (a province with three port cities, four port zones, tens of terminals) has upgraded its maritime industries through years of development and shows its significance both in scales and functions. While some new problems appeared with the rapid progress, for example, no provincial layout among ports, disordered market competition and serious coastal resources waste. All of these negative factors limited the development of provincial port industry and economics. So reorganization of the existing port resources through an effective provincial layout is a necessary step in port industry optimization.There are many kinds of way to reorganize port assets such as loose-alliance, asset-belt, inter-district etc. According to advantages and disadvantage of those styles, we recommend that asset-belt formation should be the best way for our present situation. The main viewpoint is to establish a company named Hebei Port Assets Hold&Operation Corporation based on the port assets of HBCIC. The corporation is following the government's macroeconomic adjustment and control guidance and operated in market circumstances. The realization of provincial layout via direct investment, purchase and convergence etc. will assist the port resources optimization, consistent and continual development.
