Not long ago, more than 50 tons of lotus gourmet powder started from the Zhoukou central port wharf, and entered the main stream of Huaihe through the Sha Ying River, then entered the Yangtze River and transported to Nigeria, Africa through Shanghai port.

It has four major water systems across the Yangtze River, Huaihe, the Yellow River and Haihe River. Henan has the resources, history and foundation to develop inland river shipping. In recent years, Henan has implemented the revival project of inland waterway transport, and the development of port economy is in the ascendant.

Inland hinterland and inland river shipping

At the end of July, Luohe port officially opened, and the Luohe Zhoukou section of the Sha Ying River resumed navigation.

In order to make up for the shortage of comprehensive transport system and expand the need for opening to the outside world, Henan has vigorously developed inland river shipping in recent years, and has formed the two water transport channels of Tongjiang and Tongjiang. As of June this year, the total mileage of the province has reached more than 1500 km, and more than 90 ports have been built.

Henan was once a political and economic center in China's history for many years. Luoyang and Kaifeng were the capitals of the time. Through the north and south the Grande Canale, the chasm, the inland waters of the Jia Lu River and other inland waterways, the eight sides were connected.

"The inland river shipping in Henan has a long history. Even in 1960s, there are still 27 rivers that can reach Tongjiang and reach more than 6100 kilometers, and then gradually decline." Wang Dong, director of the Shipping Bureau of the Henan Provincial Department of transport, said that at present, Henan has the realistic foundation for reviving inland river shipping. Huaihe, Sha Ying River and Tuohe River have good natural conditions for transporting water. All provincial cities and 98 counties have maritime and maritime organizations, with more than 100 thousand employees in the whole province and more than 5600 vessels in operation, and the inland river shipping capacity ranks third in the Yangtze River Basin.

At present, Henan is implementing the 100 billion water transport rehabilitation project. It plans to use 15 years to complete the investment of 179 billion yuan, more than 2700 km of new waterway, more than 1900 km of reconstruction channel, 280 new berths, and 1.4 million tons of new port throughput capacity.

"The port No. 4 and No. 5 of the middle operation area have been opened for operation, and the other 6 port basins are expected to be operational by the end of this year. There will be 47 kiloton berths in 8 pools." Sun Hongwei, Secretary of the Zhoukou port area committee, said that the central port of Zhoukou planned three working areas in the East, middle and West, occupied about 6.5 kilometers of the coastline, planned to build 77 kiloton berths, and designed annual cargo throughput of more than 23 million tons.

The development of port economy is in the ascendant.

Under the scorching sun, Du Fuan, 42, wore a straw hat and cut the steel plate with a flame cutter to prepare for a 1000 ton ship. From the first hundred ton cement ship to the 1000 ton class steel ship and to the high profit yacht and boat, Du Fuan witnessed the development of shipbuilding industry in Huaibin, Henan.

Huaibin county was built because of Huaihe and prospered by Huaihe. Relying on the port of Yin Ma and the Huaibin section of Huaihe, the shipbuilding industry cluster area has been formed, and 7 Shipbuilding Enterprises above Designated Size have been developed. "The fist product of Huaibin is a 1000 ton to 4000 ton steel bulk carrier, and 40% of the bulk carriers on the Yangtze River are from Huaibin." Huaibin County shipbuilding industry gathering area Party Work Committee Secretary Ma Jian said.

With the upgrading and upgrading of ports and waterways, Henan has increased the construction of port centric multimodal transport hub. It has promoted the development of a number of port industries such as Huaibin shipbuilding industry and Zhoukou logistics industry. In Zhoukou and other places, there has been a new trend of the coordinated development of port and city.

Zhoukou has put forward the development idea of "building ports, promoting logistics, gathering industries, building port cities", and vigorously developing port economy by means of a new mode of integration of inland waterways, port industries and ecological cities. Hu Jun, vice mayor of Zhoukou, said that the signing of a number of projects such as the Anyang iron and steel production replacement project and the port food industry park have provided strong support for the development of Zhoukou's port economy.

"Henan promotes industrial transformation and upgrading through ports, builds port industrial agglomeration zones and port logistics parks on the basis of port and coastline, and promotes the coordinated development of port terminals, port industries and cities, and is developing a" water run province "development pattern. Wang Dong said.

Seamless connection of "maritime Silk Road"

Zhoukou MSG, Canada's wheat, Southeast Asia's mahogany, Henan's grain... Through the central port of Zhoukou, goods from all over the world are sold to Henan, and Henan's goods are sold all over the world. In June this year, Zhoukou's central port to Huaian port opened a container shipping route. Zhoukou central port partner, Ji Chang Tao, general manager of Huaian Huaihe container logistics project department, said: "the company's business covers the main ports of the eastern coastal provinces, and facilitates the transfer of more goods from Henan to the countries along the" one belt and one road ".

In order to dock with the "Silk Road", Zhoukou signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Zhengzhou airport economic comprehensive test area and Henan material group company to jointly build a "multimodal transport hub" of public iron water, and signed an alliance framework agreement with Lianyungang port holding group, making efforts to build Zhoukou central port into a cargo port.

In Huaibin County, the local government is promoting the construction of direct trade port between Henan and Africa. Ding Wei, director of Huaibin communications and Transportation Bureau, said that Huaibin made use of the advantages of Huaihe Tongjiang to reach the sea, and planned to go directly to Mauritius, Port Louis, Africa to sell products such as food and light textile produced by Huaibin.

"Henan's revival of inland river shipping is accelerating the development of inland river shipping development system with green development, facilities networking, ship standardization, service quality and modernization." Tang Yanmin, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Department of transport, said that this will promote Henan's seamless connection with the "maritime Silk Road" and provide solid support for cultivating new competitive advantages and creating new heights for inland opening.
