Geographical conditions of Jiangyin Port in Fuqing

Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Fuqing, which is listed as the south wing of the "two wings" development strategy of Fujian's capital city, has developed into a modern international new port on the north bank of Xinghua Bay after eight years of construction: eight years ago, only villagers' fishing boats could be docked here; Nowadays, huge ships shuttle here, and thousands of businessmen gather, showing the bustling scene of a modern port area; Since the official opening to the outside world in 2004, with the opening of several international routes and domestic feeder lines, the container throughput of Jiangyin Port has doubled year by year. The once seaside wasteland has become an international new port shining along the southeast coast, which has completely reversed the situation of poverty and backwardness. It can be called a cornucopia on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, attracting a large number of major projects to flood into the development zone frequently.

With the development of Haixi strategy becoming a national decision, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Fuqing has high hopes. While seizing the favorable opportunity of the State Council's Opinions to support the construction of Haixi, we will accelerate the implementation of the strategy of revitalizing the city with Hong Kong, make steady progress towards the goal of a hub port and an advanced manufacturing base on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, and make every effort to build an important new economic growth zone in Haixi. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, let's walk into Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Fuqing, appreciate the gratifying changes of the vicissitudes of the motherland and witness the infinite charm of the "South Wing" of the provincial capital.

After more than eight years of development and construction, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Fuqing, as the "south wing" of Fujian's capital city, has taken on a new look. The desolate and silent salt flats in the past have been replaced by the busy scenes of Qian Fan's struggle and crane's rocker arm. Thousands of kilometers of levees are like dragons lying on the beach, colorful containers are neatly placed on the docks, vast sea cargo ships shuttle back and forth, and factories stand in beautiful economic zones, showing people the prototype of a large-scale port industrial city.

According to Lin Zhong, director of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone, before the development, the traffic in Jiangyin Peninsula was blocked, and before the opening of Shugang Xinjiang Highway, the central and northwest parts of the development zone were now called "Siberia" of Jiangyin; All kinds of energy are in short supply, and water and electricity are in short supply. This reservoir can only meet the demand of agricultural water. There is only one aging 10,000-volt high-voltage transmission line in the whole island, and a 500-ton salt-transporting wharf occasionally stops with salt-transporting wooden boats and villagers' small fishing boats. There are basically no industrial enterprises on the island, and desolate shoals can be seen everywhere. By June, 20001year, Fuzhou and Fuqing municipal governments had jointly invested to establish a Fuzhou-level comprehensive industrial cluster focusing on port construction. Jiangyin Peninsula entered a new period of historical development and was upgraded to a provincial economic development zone in April 2006. Jiangyin Port is also positioned as an international container hub port alongside Xiamen Port.

The vigorous development of ports has promoted the economic development of industrial areas. From June to August this year, the total industrial output value of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone reached 35,265.438 billion yuan, an increase of 2 1.04% over last year. Among them, the industrial output value above designated size was 3.46 billion yuan, an increase of 24.36%; Tax revenue was 654.38+67 billion yuan, an increase of 4.4%; Investment in fixed assets was 65.438+0.27 billion yuan, an increase of 654.38+0.7%; The number of container terminals is 3,654,388+870,000 TEUs, an increase of 27.89% ... Looking back from a rough economic perspective, the bright future of Jiangyin Economic Zone is on paper.

"Golden Point" on the Golden Waterway

Throughout the map of Fujian, Fuqing Jiangyin Economic Development Zone is located on the north bank of Xinghua Bay, the largest bay on the map.

Change a map of China and set the coordinates at Jiangyin Port, so that Shanghai, Dalian and Tianjin in the north and Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the south are all within 800 nautical miles, living in the middle of the shipping lines of Shanghai Port and Shenzhen Yantian Port, and can accept the radiation of the two economic growth poles of China in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta; From this, it will go to Dongtaichung 100 nautical mile, Keelung 150 nautical mile and Kaohsiung 170 nautical mile, which can complement the ports of Taiwan Province Province and build a shipping center on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. After the opening of the "fast corridor" for direct flights to Taiwan, it only takes two and a half hours for direct flights of passengers and goods that have not come to Taipei, which can form a one-day life circle for cross-strait exchanges and form a frontier platform for exchanges with Taiwan. Jiangyin Economic Development Zone is the closest provincial-level economic development zone in Chinese mainland to the main island of Taiwan Province Province, and it has outstanding geographical advantages adjacent to Taiwan Province, so it can become the best bearing base for economic and trade relations with Taiwan and industrial gradient transfer in Taiwan Province Province.

When we expand our perspective to the map of the world, we can't help but marvel. Jiangyin Port is just at the intersection of the central point of China's coastline and the two economic circles of the North and South Pacific, only 24 nautical miles away from the main international container routes around the world, and it can be called the "golden point" of the golden waterway.

Jiangyin Port Area has not only obvious geographical advantages, but also unique conditions for port construction. General situation of Jiangyin Port Area, with large bay, wide port and deep water, Xinghua Bay is the largest bay in Fujian with an area of 620 square kilometers. The water area of the port area is15km and the maximum natural water depth is19m. There are also two natural waterways, Rinan and Xinghua, with a water depth of 15.5- 17.2 meters. Thanks to the shelter of Longgao Peninsula and Rinan Islands in Shicheng Peninsula, Jiangyin Port has good shelter from wind and small waves, which is very suitable for container ship operations. Moreover, there is no big river around, and the sediment is balanced, and it has not been frozen or silted for many years. It is a natural deep-water port that is "the first in Fujian and rare in China". In addition, Jiangyin Port has a vast hinterland, and the area of industrial land and shallow beach for land reclamation can reach 30 square kilometers respectively. There are nearly 300 square kilometers of land around Jiangyin Port Area that can be developed and utilized, which provides a reliable land guarantee for the development of port-facing industries.

Adhering to the principle of "prospering the district with Hong Kong" and building a big port are the primary tasks of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone. It is understood that Jiangyin Port Area * * * has five working areas, of which the first phase of planning Jiangyin Wharf Working Area has a coastline of 14.6 km, and 55 berths can be built, with a maximum berth of 250,000 tons. The planned throughput capacity is/kloc-0.08 million tons, including containers/kloc-0.04 million TEUs. After eight years of development and construction, at present, 1 ro-ro wharf, 1 70,000-ton coal wharf, five 50,000-ton container ship berths and two 50,000-ton container ship berths are under construction, and this year,1direct passenger wharf and150,000-ton container ship berths are under construction. As a first-class port, Jiangyin Port has opened international routes to America, West Africa, Europe, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, as well as direct flights to Hongkong, Taiwan Province and Taiwan Province Province and a number of domestic feeder lines. Ships or containers of Maersk, CMA, Evergreen, China Shipping, Wanhai, COSCO, Koryo, Yangming and many other global shipping giants operate here, and their economic benefits have grown rapidly, making them an economy on the west side of the Taiwan Strait.

Since the establishment of Jiangyin Port, it has always adhered to the principle of "based on the west coast, looking at the world, being a first-class port and providing five-star services". Fuzhou Xingang International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. was awarded the honorary title of "Top Ten Container Ports in China" in the "China Excellent Container Ports" held in Guangzhou in 2006 and 2008. After Jiangyin Port was officially opened to the outside world in 2004, the container throughput changed most obviously: in 2003, it was 6.5438+0.02110,000 TEU, in 2006, it was 6.5438+0.96 million TEU, and in 2007, it was 280. Even under the influence of the international financial crisis and the relative downturn of the global shipping industry, the industry is still optimistic about Jiangyin Port's superior natural conditions, efficient port operation capacity and vast hinterland of goods supply. Since the beginning of this year, Fuzhou Xingang International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. has opened four ocean-going trunk lines in the west, Europe and Southeast Asia, fully demonstrating its firm confidence in the development prospects of Jiangyin Port Area.

Plant a plane tree to attract a phoenix.

The charm of coming to Jiangyin Economic Development Zone lies not only in the excellent port operation conditions, but also in the 60 square kilometers of available land behind the port and the vast hinterland around Jiangyin. How to do a good job in infrastructure construction, improve traffic conditions and attract more outstanding enterprises to settle here has become a major issue that the local government is committed to breaking through.

A discerning person knows the treasure, and a skillful person seizes the opportunity. At the beginning of the establishment of the Development Zone, Fuzhou Port Group, Singapore Port Authority, Taiping Industrial Development Co., Ltd. and Fuqing Port Development and Construction Corporation joined hands to take the lead in investing in the construction of the dock berth project in Jiangyin Port Area and became the leader in the development and construction of Jiangyin Port Area. Then, Fujian Fukang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Guodian Fuzhou Jiangyin Power Plant and other enterprises were also attracted by the excellent investment conditions in Jiangyin Peninsula, and settled in Gangbo Machinery Development Zone, becoming the first batch of key enterprises to settle in Jiangyin Peninsula. Last year, Fukang Pharmaceutical achieved an industrial output value of 65.438+0.4 billion yuan, becoming one of the top ten private enterprises and top ten taxpayers in Fuqing. The first phase of Guodian Jiangyin Power Plant started in February 2004 with a total investment of about 5.43 billion yuan and was completed in 2007. Although the living and production conditions were extremely difficult at the beginning, with the strong support of the government, the development zone changed its backward appearance bit by bit. With the continuous improvement of a series of infrastructure such as land reclamation and road construction, more and more enterprises are pouring into Jiangyin Economic Development Zone.

Today, eight years later, the 6-square-kilometer storage and logistics land behind Jiangyin Port has retained international and domestic logistics giants including Maersk and COSCO, and developed 6,000 mu of land in the starting area and built factories. Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has reclaimed 35,000 mu of shallow sea beaches in the east and west to build a platform for the development of port industries. Major projects such as CPP project of China National Chemical Corporation, Southeast Electrochemical Company and Yao Long Chemical Relocation Project have successively landed, which will greatly enhance the industrial level and level of the development zone and speed up industrial agglomeration. At present, the hydropower infrastructure in Jiangyin Peninsula can fully meet the needs of accelerating the development of port-facing industries: there are 35,000-volt and 1 100-volt substations in the area, Fujian LNG gas transmission trunk line crosses Jiangyin Peninsula, and Jiangyin Waterworks of Dongzhang Reservoir supplies 6,543,805 tons of raw water and 30,000 tons of purified water daily. By the end of next year, the water supply capacity will be doubled. In addition, there are Fuzhou Bonded Logistics Park and Fuqing Export Processing Zone behind the port area, and there are two special customs supervision zones behind a provincial economic development zone, which is rare in China. At present, the work of integrating the functions of Fuqing Export Processing Zone, Fuzhou Bonded Logistics Park, Railway Logistics Park and Jiangyin Port Area to declare the establishment of a bonded port area has been reported by the Fujian provincial government to the State Council for approval, and the superposition of more favorable policies will greatly boost the development of the development zone. Up to now, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has attracted 87 projects with an investment of 73.35 billion yuan. Even under the influence of the international financial crisis last year, the industrial output value of the development zone still reached 5.258 billion yuan, up 65.438+000.78% year-on-year.

The vigorous development of economy is inseparable from good traffic construction. In addition to focusing on developing the port-facing industry, Fuqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has also accelerated the construction of the port-dredging road network to improve the infrastructure of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone and improve the cargo distribution capacity. The Jiangyin Port Railway Branch Line Project and Jiangyin Port Shugang Expressway, which have been started one after another, are expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 20 1 1 year. By then, the external fast-track network of Jiangyin Port and Jiangyin Industrial Cluster will be greatly improved, and the comprehensive transportation efficiency and highway transportation service level will be fully exerted. It is understood that the total length of Shugang Expressway Project is 13.69km, and that of Jiangyin Port Area Shugang Expressway is 1 1.6km, connecting Fuzhou-Xiamen traffic corridor. Shugang Expressway and Shugang Railway branch line directly reach the port area, which can realize the seamless connection of highway, expressway, railway and waterway transportation. The total length of the railway branch line of Jiangyin Port is 19.26 km, and the planned total investment is about 210 million yuan. At present, the project has completed the preliminary work such as the construction of access road and entered the normal construction stage; The Jiangyin section of the railway branch line of Jiangyin Port is about12.22km long, and land reclamation for large-scale logistics freight yard started in July this year. It is not difficult to predict that the construction of Jiangyin Port-dredging Road Network will make Fuqing and Jiangyin Industrial Zone as the "South Wing" of the provincial capital and a new economic growth zone more worthy of the name, and will also create more convenient conditions for gathering and distributing port-facing industries in Jiangyin, and at the same time, it is of great significance to improve the infrastructure of Jiangyin Peninsula and promote the deep development of the north and south wings of Fuzhou.

At present, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has formed a "five horizontal and three vertical" high-grade road network, and is equipped with street lamps. The green areas on both sides of the road are like carpets, and full of green shows great vitality. In addition, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has started the supporting construction of Jiangyin New Port City. The 2 1 floor port service center building and the four-star Fuzhou Xingang Qiao Rong International Club will be completed and put into use in May next year. Today, Jiangyin not only has 10,000-ton ships shuttling and 100-meter chimneys towering, but also has good public facilities, blue sky and green space, spacious roads and a clean and efficient investment soft environment, which provides convenient and humanized services for merchants and really attracts Phoenix.

Strategic "South Wing" Helps Haixi

In May 2009, the State Council supported the construction of "Opinions" in Haixi, and the mountains and seas in Haixi were jubilant, and the children of Bamin remembered this historical moment.

With the Haixi strategy rising to the central decision-making, Fujian Province will become the strategic frontier of the great cause of the reunification of the motherland in the political sense, standing at a new height of historical development under the eager eyes of hundreds of millions of people, and bearing the lofty mission entrusted by the times. As the "south wing" of the development strategy of provincial capital cities, the construction of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has been widely concerned by leaders at all levels.

As early as 2005, Comrade Huang Ju, then Vice Premier of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and the State Council of the Communist Party of China, accompanied by Zhang Chunxian, former Minister of Communications, visited Jiangyin Port Area. Jiang Zhenghua, Vice Chairman Han Qide of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and Vice Chairman Zhou Tienong of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference also visited Jiangyin Economic Development Zone successively. In 2007, Huang Xiaojing, the governor of Fujian Province, visited Jiangyin Peninsula, positioning Jiangyin Port as one of the two key container hub ports in Fujian Province alongside Xiamen Port, and positioning Jiangyin Economic Development Zone as an important new economic growth region in Fujian Province.

Shortly after the State Council's opinion was put forward, Lu Zhangong, secretary of Fujian Provincial Party Committee, led the provincial "four special topics" decision-making research group to Jiangyin Economic Development Zone to carry out research activities, which was also Lu Zhangong's third "trip to Jiangyin". In the process of investigation, Lu Zhangong asked Fuqing Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government and Jiangyin Economic Development Zone to seize the favorable opportunity of the State Council's Opinions to support the construction of Haixi, adhere to the "four demands first" and "four efforts", and strive to "improve their thinking, work hard, carefully plan, work hard, break through key points and work hard", find a correct position, give full play to their advantages, further clarify their development ideas, improve their work realm and business ability, and speed up. In Jiangyin Port Area, Lu Zhangong carefully understood the construction of the port area and the situation of the fast channel in the Straits, and expressed satisfaction with the various constructions of Jiangyin Port Area. He hopes that in the process of wharf construction, he will fully understand the key role of railways and expressways, constantly open up new international routes and expand the service radius. At the same time, we should base ourselves on serving Haixi, serving the hinterland of the port, serving the overall development, scientifically planning the development of port-facing industries, achieving advanced concepts and planning, and building the main hub port of the whole province, Haixi and even the southeast coast.

In addition, Yuan Rongxiang, member of the Standing Committee of Fujian Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Su Zengtian, deputy governor of Fujian Province and mayor of Fuzhou, also held special meetings for many times to study the development and construction of Jiangyin, and put Fuqing's industrial development and port construction in an important position in the Haixi strategy, giving full affirmation and support to the development and construction of Jiangyin.

Fuqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have conscientiously implemented the spirit of relevant meetings of higher party committees and governments, combined with the actual development of Jiangyin Peninsula, positioned Jiangyin Economic Development Zone as a long-term goal of becoming a modern emerging port industrial city, firmly implemented the strategy of "prospering the city with Hong Kong", created a good investment environment, promoted the development and construction of Jiangyin, and regarded Jiangyin Port as an important part of Fuzhou Port, one of the two major container transport ports promoted by Fujian Province, and an important channel between Fujian Province and inland provinces. Fuzhou's economy continues to grow, especially Xinghua Bay. Jiangyin Port Area will complement other ports in Fuzhou Port and gradually develop into a multi-functional and comprehensive deep-water port area with container transportation as the main part, bulk cargo and liquid transportation as the auxiliary part, and integrating multimodal transport, commerce, warehousing and processing.

In just eight years, the once closed and backward wasteland salt flats are transforming into thriving port emerging cities. Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has such a scale today, thanks to the attention and support of leaders at all levels, the wise decision of Fuzhou and Fuqing Municipal Committees and the unremitting efforts of the cadres and masses in the development zone. Looking at the development tide of Haixi, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone has a special geographical position and carries a heavy weight, which is of great responsibility to the development of Fuzhou, the provincial capital.

A young international port has risen in Jiangyin, an ancient land, with unprecedented youth and vitality. Lin Zhong, director of the Management Committee of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone, said with full confidence that in the future journey, Jiangyin Economic Development Zone will seize the favorable opportunity of Fujian Province to build a "strong marine province" and Fuzhou City to promote the development of the "north and south wings", base on the overall situation of Haixi construction, and strive to build the development zone into an important deep-water hub port on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, a large-scale logistics center and an important window to attract overseas Chinese capital, foreign capital, especially Taiwan capital, and become a new growth point of the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait. This means that Jiangyin is not only the hope and future of Fuqing, but also the strategic "South Wing" to help Haixi, forming an important part of Haixi strategy, shining in the southeast and soaring in the sea!
