Along the Yangtze River, many new berths are under construction. In front of the berth, the 13 bridge crane is lined up, and the giant arm is busy loading and unloading goods. On the river, liners full of goods chop waves and shuttle back and forth. The new port city, 10 supporting buildings and "two vertical and three horizontal" frame roads are being built at the same time ... Today's Taicang Port is so busy that it is in the process of rapid replacement of the old and the new.

New things in the port:

"car ferry" is about to debut.

In Taicang Port, where the heat wave is surging, Qian Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Port Management Committee, revealed to reporters two major events that Taicang Port is preparing for in the near future.

First, in August this year, the passenger ship from Taicang to Shimonoseki, Japan will officially sail, and the maiden voyage will be scheduled for August 28. This is the first sea passenger passage from Suzhou to Japan, and it also makes Taicang Port the second port in our province to open foreign passenger ships after Lianyungang.

Second, in September this year, the "shuttle bus" from Taicang Port to Yangshan Port will make its debut. This is one of the important measures for Taicang Port to connect with Shanghai and fully serve Yangshan Port. After the opening of "car ferry", containers transported from Taicang Port to Yangshan Port can leave on time and reach the designated place through this newly-built maritime express channel, which is as fast and convenient as people taking a bus.

In the Port Management Committee of Taicang Port, the reporter also extracted a set of hot data:

-Construction of wharf berths. In the first half of the year, Taicang Port invested 969 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 162%. Following the smooth operation of Berths No.5 and No.6 of Container Phase II Project, Berths No.7 and No.8 will also be completed and put into operation in September. At present, Taicang Container Terminal has four berths, 13 bridge crane. At the same time, Yang Hong Petrochemical, Wanfang Wharf, WISCO Wharf and other100000-ton berths are being promoted as a whole, and the third-phase container berths100000-ton berths have been submitted to the relevant departments for approval, and construction is expected to start one after another this year.

-airline flights are opened. In the first half of the year, 4 domestic trunk lines, 3 foreign branch lines and 1 1 Yangtze branch line were newly opened. The total number of 18 routes has reached the sum of newly opened routes last year. According to the statistics of the terminal company, so far, the total number of routes in Taicang Port has reached 52, with an average of more than 500 container liners calling at Taicang Port every month.

-container throughput. In the first half of the year, the container throughput was 4 1.45 million TEUs, up 84% year-on-year. What is particularly gratifying is that the container throughput also shows four characteristics: first, the container volume has increased month by month, and the monthly throughput reached 82,300 TEUs in June, the highest in history, and reached 87,800 TEUs in July; Second, the volume of domestic and foreign trade containers has increased simultaneously. By the end of June, 275,700 TEUs had been completed for domestic containers and138,800 TEUs for foreign containers, up by 69% and 122% respectively over the same period of last year. Third, the number of local containers in Suzhou has risen rapidly. The containers of enterprises in Suzhou Industrial Park, New District and Kunshan have chosen Taicang Port for import and export, and the absolute number has increased by 50% compared with the same period of last year. Fourth, the advantages of the hub port have begun to take shape. Luzhou and Chongqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan, Changsha and Jiujiang in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Wuhu and Nanjing in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River all transit through Taicang Port.

Qian Zhiqiang said that in the past, the anchorage of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West and the "Six-country Wharf" where merchants gathered, now the sea passages extend in all directions, international exchanges are increasingly frequent, and Taicang Port is undergoing rapid changes.

Linjiang new industry:

Modern logistics has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

If the dock berth is a fulcrum, then the riverside industry is a powerful hinterland support.

With the rapid development of Taicang Port, the industrial clusters in the surrounding areas are constantly accepting such new radiation and feeling such new changes.

"Taicang Linjiang industry has distinctive characteristics, mainly including pillar industries such as petrochemical industry, electric energy, light industry and paper making, and modern logistics." Lu Weidong, deputy director of the Port Management Committee of Taicang Port Economic Development Zone, told the reporter: "After 10 years of cultivation, the pillar industries along the Yangtze River in Taicang are getting bigger and bigger, and emerging industries are springing up like mushrooms after rain. The output value created by large-scale and group enterprises has reached 88% of the output value of enterprises in the region. "

Specifically, nine dragons paper has built four high-grade packaging paper production lines, with an annual output of 6,543,800 tons of high-strength packaging paper. Last year, it not only achieved sales of 2.379 billion yuan, but also promoted the development of a number of paper products enterprises such as Zhongxin insulation materials. Electric energy has gathered three major power plants in Suzhou Industrial Park: Huaneng Power Generation Co., Ltd., Taicang Port Xiexin Power Generation Co., Ltd. and Guohua Taicang Power Generation Co., Ltd., with an installed capacity of 4.57 million kilowatts and an annual power generation of 23 billion kWh. All desulfurization and electrostatic dust removal have been completed, and the 600,000-kilowatt unit has taken the lead in completing denitrification in East China. The petrochemical industry has successfully attracted many Fortune 500 companies such as ExxonMobil, BP, Hydro, PetroChina and Sinochem to settle down, and built the largest production base of advanced lubricants in China, the largest production base of PVC in Jiangsu and the largest production base of frozen liquefied gas in East China. Sinochem put into production last year with an annual output of 20,000 tons of freon substitutes, which is an internationally recognized and widely used environmental protection product and can be used to protect the ozone layer. In the first half of this year, the flourishing phoenix trees in the port area of Taicang Port Economic Development Zone attracted more than 10 phoenix with an investment of10 million US dollars, among which Mingda Industry, which is engaged in glass deep processing, invested 8 10 million US dollars in the first phase.

Modern logistics is a new industry in Taicang, and it is the most important thing in the development of Taicang Port. Although this industry has just started, it has shown great vitality.

According to the staff of Taicang Port, the bonded logistics center with a total investment of 65.438+0.8 billion yuan has built a 450,000-square-meter warehouse, a 6.5438+0.6-square-meter transit yard and a 6.5438+0.00-square-meter grocery yard in addition to the planned area of 6 square kilometers, and has also built two major functional warehouses: public bonded warehouse and export supervision. There are also steel market, plasticizing market and. More than 10 modern logistics enterprises such as Changjiang Warehouse, Li Yongde Logistics, Huachen Zhiyuan and Dayang Logistics have settled in Taicang Bonded Logistics Center in advance, giving full play to their respective functions, aiming at building a first-class logistics software industrial base in Taicang and focusing on logistics software development and logistics personnel training. At present, 12 heavyweight enterprises have been successfully introduced, and nearly 100 large and small logistics companies have cooperated with each other to "hydrangea".

Develop a new state:

The environmental protection industry has accelerated its agglomeration.

The new port city starting area 10 building with a total investment of1500 million yuan was started in June this year. As an important part of Shanghai International Shipping Center and an important node of the Yangtze River Delta multimodal transport system, the functional orientation of Taicang Port has been further clarified in Suzhou Port Master Plan (Draft for Review).

But what impressed the reporter even more was that Pu, secretary of Taicang Municipal Party Committee, said: "According to the development strategy of" prospering Hong Kong by industry, strengthening the city by port, connecting with Shanghai and serving southern Jiangsu "put forward by the secretary of the provincial party Committee, Taicang people are making every effort to build a city that can be scientifically coordinated and sustainable around the general requirements of accelerating the construction of an international advanced manufacturing base and a modern logistics base.

To develop scientifically and harmoniously, the most important thing is to correctly handle the relationship between developing environment and protecting resources. The reporter learned two things in the interview.

The first one is "replacing oil with electricity" in Suzhou Modern Container Terminal. It turns out that the 39 cranes on the dock are all diesel, which not only makes a lot of noise when starting, but also emits black smoke and leaks oil, which affects the dock environment more or less. At the beginning of this year, based on the overall situation, the terminal company decisively invested 80 million yuan and made up its mind to comprehensively "change oil to electricity" for 39 cranes. Industry insiders estimate that according to the current electricity price and diesel cost, the cost can be recovered in four years, and the most direct benefit is that the environmental quality of the terminal has been greatly improved since then.

The second thing is that a large number of environmental protection enterprises gather in the port. The reporter learned in Lu Weidong that in the first half of this year, brand-new building materials enterprises such as Beixin Building Materials, Blue and White Fire Resistant, and Fu-resistant Gypsum were introduced into the port area of Taicang Port Economic Development Zone. Without exception, these enterprises use the by-products formed after desulfurization and denitrification of existing power plants to organize reproduction, which is not only conducive to extending the original industrial chain, but also conducive to the reuse of existing waste resources, especially conducive to environmental protection. Take Kneff gypsum, a large multinational company, as an example. Once the German high-tech factory and computer-controlled production line with an investment of 60 million US dollars are completed, the annual production capacity of gypsum board can be 30 million square meters. Factories "eat" by-products produced by local power plants after desulfurization and "spit" new environmentally-friendly materials that are best-selling in the international market today, which is a real "turning waste into treasure".

Pu Gao Rong said that Taicang Port is an important engine of Taicang's economic and social development. The faster the development of Taicang Port, the greater the development space of Taicang. Mei, deputy mayor of Suzhou and director of Taicang Port Management Committee, is also full of confidence in Taicang Port's attractive development prospects. He said that according to the current good development momentum, it is not a problem for Taicang Port to break through 1 TEU this year, and the goal of building Jiangsu into the largest foreign trade port is expected to be realized at an early date.
