On July 11, the 2020 China Navigation Day Forum was held in Shanghai. This year is the target year for the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center. Due to the impact of the global epidemic, the uncertainty of the world economic prospects has increased, the global trade situation is complex and changeable, and the circulation of industrial chain and supply chain has been hindered. In order to jointly respond to the challenges of the development of the international logistics supply chain, this Maritime Day Forum has set the theme of "Working together to maintain smooth international logistics." The forum was co-organized by the Shanghai Leading Group for Promoting the Construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center, the China Navigation Society, and the Water Transportation Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport. Important guests attended by Liu Xiaoming, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Transport, Tang Zhiping, Deputy Mayor of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Xu Lirong, Chairman of the China Ocean Shipping Group Co., Ltd., Maritime Ambassador of the International Maritime Organization, Xu Zuyuan, Director of Safety of the Ministry of Transport, Li Tianbi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, and Yan Xinping, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, attended the event.
Since the beginning of this year, the new crown pneumonia has spread around the world, and the circulation of industrial chains and supply chains has been blocked, which has seriously affected world economic growth. Maintaining smooth international logistics and ensuring the global supply chain system has become a common goal of all countries. In this regard, the Shanghai International Shipping Center has provided important support for global trade and logistics with its efficient hub operation system, strong emergency support capabilities and a complete supporting policy system. In his speech, Shanghai Vice Mayor Tang Zhiping said that China's Day of Navigation is an important carrier for inheriting navigation culture and promoting the implementation of the "Belt and Road", "Marine Power" and "Transportation Power" strategies. This year, the main venue event of China Navigation Day was held in Shanghai again, fully reflecting Shanghai's close ties with the shipping industry and the country's full recognition of the brilliant achievements of the Shanghai International Shipping Center.
Based on the present, the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center has achieved remarkable results - Tang Zhiping introduced that after 25 years of hard work, Shanghai International Shipping Center has achieved remarkable achievements in the aggregation of resource elements, improvement of functional services, optimization of market environment, and improvement of hub energy levels. Shanghai has gathered rich shipping factor resources, gathering international and national shipping functional institutions such as the world's first comprehensive transportation capacity, the world's largest shipbuilding group, the world's largest port machinery heavy equipment manufacturer, as well as international and national shipping functional institutions such as the International Maritime Organization Asian Maritime Technology Cooperation Center , and the International Maritime Life Rescue Alliance Asia-Pacific Center.
Specifically, Shanghai has the leading hub service capabilities in the world. Shanghai Port has maintained its position as the largest container port in the world for ten consecutive years. The port connectivity has ranked first in the world for nine consecutive years. Yangshan Phase IV fully automatic terminal is the largest and most automated port in the world today. Wusongkou International Cruise Port has become the first in Asia and the fourth in the world's cruise home port, the fourth in the world's air passenger throughput, and the third in the world's cargo and mail throughput at Pudong Airport.
Shanghai's shipping service functions are becoming more and more sound, with the total shipping insurance business accounting for nearly 1/4 of the country, and the international market share ranks among the top; the container freight index has become a vane of the global container transportation market; the application projects of "Hong Kong and Shipping Big Data Laboratory" and "China Shipping Database" have been implemented one after another; maritime arbitration services are leading in the country.
Shanghai's aviation operator environment is becoming increasingly optimized. Shanghai Port fully implements the national tax and fee reduction deployment, the overall customs clearance time for port imports is reduced by more than 50%, a series of cross-border trade reform measures have been implemented one after another, and international shipping business has been opened to the outside world. It is the first in the world to carry out crew shift changes, and the number of shifts changes is the largest in the world, so as to achieve "change all the people who should be replaced". Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index shows that Shanghai International Shipping Center ranks among the top in the world.Shanghai has become a world-recognized international shipping center.
Shanghai Vice Mayor Tang Zhiping
Looking to the future, the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center needs to forge ahead - Tang Zhiping emphasized that entering a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and facing "great changes unseen in a century", the shipping industry carries a new historical mission. Standing at a new starting point, Shanghai will firmly grasp the national strategic requirements, further highlight the demonstration, leading and radiating and driving role, highlight core competitiveness, reform and innovation. Comprehensively plan to accelerate the construction of a new round of international shipping centers and improve the allocation capacity of global shipping resources.
Tang Zhiping proposed that Shanghai will further play a role in meeting the multi-level needs of international logistics. We will make full use of location conditions and facility capabilities to consolidate the foundation of container hub ports, improve the multimodal transport system, improve the comprehensive service capabilities, and meet multi-level transportation needs. At the same time, we will actively play the leading role, promote the formation of a world-class port group in the Yangtze River Delta with reasonable division of labor, mutual cooperation, and each other's strengths, and promote , the Yangtze River Delta region, , an important node of the international logistics network.
Shanghai will be the first to transform in promoting the high-quality development of the international logistics industry. Against the background of the global epidemic, the digitalization process of the shipping industry has been accelerated comprehensively, and new business forms and new models are booming. Shanghai will seize the "window period" to promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of shipping factors, and realize the transformation from factor-driven to innovation-driven; Shanghai will adhere to green, safe and sustainable development, strengthen ecological protection and safety supervision in the shipping field, and improve operational guarantees and emergency response capabilities.
Shanghai will achieve open and integrated development in participating in international shipping affairs, and will be committed to promoting deeper and higher-level opening of the shipping field, and promoting the integrated development of shipping, trade, finance, and science and technology; it will attract and cultivate more international and national-level shipping organizations and functional institutions to carry out business in Shanghai, actively participate in the formulation of international maritime technical rules, and improve Shanghai's ability to participate in international shipping affairs and serve the world.
Tang Zhiping finally said that the 2020 China Navigation Day Forum is destined to be an event that is different from the past, of great significance and far-reaching influence, and will provide valuable opportunities for gathering industry strength, boosting industry confidence, and planning industry development. We hope that all walks of life will join hands, cooperate extensively, benefit each other, and jointly create a new legend for the development of shipping in the new era!
