Analysis of China Harbour Operation 2008

China's economy has entered a period of accelerated industrialization, and heavy industrialization has transformed the economic pattern of Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Rim regional. Hinterland of the industrial structure changes will affect the structure of Harbours and also bring new investment opportunities.

China's economic growth mainly relies on investment, consumption and foreign trade, amid fixed assets investment is the most important factors. The growth Ratio of Bohai rim region’s Harbours is more depend on fixed assets investment. The average coefficient of investment elasticity of Bohai Rim region is 0.78; Pearl River Delta 0.55; Yangtze River Delta 0.48.

According to the amount of imports and exports respectively with the terms dependence on foreign trade, the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta dependence on the export are higher than import, their dependence on exports as high as 92% and 63% respectively, the degree of dependence on imports for 69% and 46%; but Bohai Rim Region has a high dependence on imports, of which 25% dependence on the export, 31% dependence on the import. The main reasons for differences in the degree of dependence on foreign trade are Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta has large number of textile, machinery and electrical products exports and, iron ore and crude oil imports are the main business of Bohai Rim region.

The growth ratio of industrial added value of Bohai Rim region has overtaken Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta since 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, the compound growth rate of industrial added value of Bohai Rim region was 19.7 per cent, higher than that of the Pearl River Delta (18.2 percent) and the Yangtze River Delta (16.5 percent) over the same periods, and that the trend is still continuing.

In terms of the Harbour’s indicators of April 2008 showed that China’s Harbour industry is still in a steady growth. In cargo throughput, achieved 500 million tons, accumulated to 1.9 billion tons, an increase of 15.9 per cent year-on-year, among the coastal Harbours 1.4 billion tons, an increase of 15.2 per cent year-on-year, inner river Harbours 490 million tons, an increase of 17.8 per cent year-on-year; in container throughput, achieved 10.51 million TEU, accumulated 39.73 million TEU, an increase of 17.4 per cent year-on-year. In foreign trade cargo throughput, achieved 167 million tons, accumulated 640 million tons, an increase of 11.6 per cent year-on-year. According to the ranking index of Chinese Harbour, Shanghai Harbour had replaced Ningbo ranking back to No.1 of cargo throughput.
