[Ports open thousands of miles] Fujian Xianghai opens a new situation to build a world-class port
Fujian is prospering towards the sea, and the total marine economy continues to exceed the trillion yuan mark. The characteristics of the sea are unmistakable, and the advantages of the sea continue to be demonstrated.
The unique port resources have become a powerful engine for the development of Fujian's marine economy.
Uniquely blessed to help the economy take off
Currently, Fujian, a major maritime province, is striving to build a world-class port.
Fujian has a long coastline of 3,752 kilometers, accounting for about one-sixth of the country's total, ranking second in the country. From north to south, there are Sandu'ao, Luoyuan Bay, Xinghua Bay, Meizhou Bay, Quanzhou Bay, Weitou Bay and Xiamen. Excellent natural harbors such as Dongshan Bay and Dongshan Bay.
It is worth mentioning that Fujian has 255.9 kilometers of natural coastline above 10,000 tons, and more than 40 kilometers of coastline can build super-large deep-water berths above 200,000 tons. The coastline resources of deep-water ports are among the top in the country.
The unique coastline resources endow Fujian with a natural advantage to vigorously develop the marine economy. Through the port's expansion of domestic and foreign trade, the quality and vitality of economic development continue to improve.
At present, from the perspective of planning and development, the development orientation of Fujian coastal ports is more clear, and the division of labor is more clear. Fuzhou Port and Xiamen Port are the main ports of the country, and Meizhou Bay Port and Quanzhou Port are regional important ports. The overall development of the port economy The sex is gradually enhanced, reflecting the situation of attacking in a group.
From the perspective of overall development, by the end of 2021, 430 productive berths have been built in coastal ports in Fujian Province, including 190 berths above the 10,000-ton level.
In 2021, the province's port cargo throughput will reach 692 million tons, and the province will form 3 large ports of 100 million tons, of which Fuzhou Port is 274 million tons, ranking 12th in the country and 22nd in the world; Xiamen Port is 228 million tons, ranking in the coastal areas of the country. 16th and 31st in the world.

Smart port innovation leads change
In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the construction of smart ports has become a focus of attention. Fujian ports use 5G, big data and other technologies to achieve automation, greening, and digital upgrades.
As the benchmark of Fujian's smart port, Xiamen has been selected as one of the first national logistics hubs of port type. Xiamen Port has become an important hub of the national comprehensive transportation system, a container trunk port, a cruise departure port and an important port for cross-strait exchanges. A shipping center and one of the eight ports of registry for international ships.
The most noteworthy is the continuous leap of Xiamen Port in the intelligent and intelligent transformation.
In 2012, COSCO SHIPPING Group, Xiamen Municipal Government and China Communications Construction Group jointly invested in the construction of China's first fully automated terminal with independent intellectual property rights in Xiamen Yuanhai Terminal, which was completed and put into operation in 2016.
On this basis, in 2020, the first domestic and world-leading 5G full-scenario application smart terminal will land at Yuanhai Terminal, and it will be selected as the "2020 New Infrastructure Construction Project" by the National Development and Reform Commission.
How to give more development momentum to the built traditional wharf through technological innovation?
Xiamen Port has taken a step of exploration.
In January this year, the country's first full-process intelligent transformation project for a traditional container terminal was put into trial production at Xiamen Port Hairun Container Terminal, and continued to be optimized and upgraded.
In the first half of this year, Hairun Terminal completed a container throughput of 483,200 TEUs, an increase of 13.36% over the same period last year, and the average monthly throughput exceeded 80,000 TEUs.
