Why is intelligent port the main development direction in the future?

According to reports, recent data show that among the top 10 ports in terms of global port cargo throughput and container throughput, China has 7 seats. The commentary holds that China port plays an important role in the current world trade, and China port represents the elegance of a big country hub and shows the strategic fulcrum of the country's rise.

According to the report, while the total volume is increasing, the port is taking the supply-side structural reform as the main line to accelerate the transformation and upgrading: the port business has gradually extended from the traditional loading and unloading warehousing services to the upstream and downstream industries, and the professional logistics and bulk commodity transactions such as commercial vehicles and cold chains have developed rapidly. Water leisure tourism represented by cruise ships has become a new growth point. In 20 16, the national ports * * * received 2180,000 international cruise passengers, up 79% year-on-year.

Experts say that change and innovation have become an inevitable move for major ports in the world. "Smart port" represents the direction of future port development and becomes the key to port transformation and development. At present, Xiamen Haicang Yuanhai Fully Automated Container Terminal, the first fully automated terminal in China with completely independent intellectual property rights, is unattended.

The person in charge of the relevant enterprise said that after the whole system of the automated terminal was put into use, the posture of the operator changed from bending down to looking at the screen and moving the mouse, and the total number of workers was only 5% in the past, which not only reduced the labor cost of the terminal, but also minimized the man-machine contact and ensured the safety of personnel.

Ni Peng of the Water Transport Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport said that the competition among global ports has become more complicated. How to get out of the traditional competitive pattern, constantly discover new profit growth points, establish a stable and sustainable benign development model and form a lasting competitive advantage will be a long-term challenge for the port industry in the future.
