[Explanation] On August 26, the first Beibu Gulf Green Port Development Forum was held in Beihai City, Guangxi. Experts and scholars from all over the country gathered to discuss the green development of ports.
At the forum, experts and scholars discussed various topics such as smart ocean, pollution situation of ships and ports, and port dust detection.
Peng Shitao, director of the Environmental Science and Technology Research Center of Tianjin Water Transportation Engineering Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport of China, introduced that water transportation is a relatively clean mode of transportation. As an important hub of water transportation, the port undertakes the important function of water transportation.
Green development of ports can play a positive role in marine environmental protection.

As an important hub of water transportation, the port assumes an important transportation function-water transportation. Water transportation is currently a very clean mode of transportation in the transportation system, but the port has a certain impact on the sea environment during the construction process.
As long as we do a good job of protection during the construction process, especially planning and site selection during the site selection process, the impact on the sea area can be reduced as much as possible.
Promoting the construction of green ports can protect the marine ecology and atmospheric environment of the port area, and at the same time have a good protection of water resources.
[Explanation] "Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains." How to coordinate and strengthen economic development and environmental protection is the focus of all walks of life, including ports.
According to Zhang Yan, a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering of Fudan University, green development of ports will promote the development of science and technology, and the development of industries driven by science and technology will bring better economic benefits to ports.

There is an endogenous contradiction between the sustainable development of the environment and economic development. However, after so many years of our efforts, green development, including the start of our scientific and technological development, includes our ability to consume energy. There is a revolutionary change, this contradiction will be transformed into strengthening, that is, environment (protection) and economic development can actually be coordinated, because the development of our industry will also drive economic development, and the development of our economy and technology will also be reversed. Improve our environment.
Therefore, it can change from an endogenous contradiction to a process of mutual reinforcement and mutual coordination.
[Explanation] Wang Yongxing, Party Secretary and Executive Deputy Director of the Port and Shipping Development Center of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that port economic development and green development must be emphasized. Only high-quality green development ports can move towards a world-class port.

"Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", the economic development of ports must also attach great importance to green development. High-quality development of green and environmental protection. Only with the high-quality development of green and environmental protection, can the economic development of the port go to the world and build a world-class port. And green port.
