In accordance with the "China shipping weekly" magazine, Ni Wei said, Global trade and container transportation assembly to follow the "The Belt and Road" major initiatives of the Dongfeng and. Last year, the first global trade and container transport conference was held in Shanghai. The second session in Xiamen, also has its specific historical background.
            "The Belt and Road" engine of global shipping in the country "13th Five-Year" plan, Xiamen was listed as the four international shipping centers. In February 28th this year, the State Council issued the "13th Five-Year" modern comprehensive transportation system development plan ", the first clear Xiamen as the twelve highest level of" international transportation hub ".
           According to the Xiamen port Holding Group Chairman Chen Dingyu introduced in 2016, Xiamen port container throughput of 9 million 610 thousand TEUs, has become the country's seventh, the top fifteen port, construction of cruise home port regional international shipping center and Southeast shipping service, credit significantly, soft power has also been improved.
           "Xiamen by sea, land and air, iron transportation advantage," along the continental connection 'to radiation, external radiation "road", connecting ASEAN in the process of Chinese participation in globalization, especially in the development of Global trade and container transportation, plays an increasingly important role." Xiamen port administration secretary Wu Shunbin said.
           Xu Zuyuan, former Minister of the Ministry of transportation also said that Xiamen is following Shanghai, Tianjin, Dalian fourth countries approved by the international shipping center, important responsibility of cross-strait economic and trade exchanges, but also one of the important port Belt and Road Initiative ". The container conference site in Xiamen, Xiamen reflects the maritime Silk Road as an important window of the external position.
           Forum, guests generally believe that China's initiative "The Belt and Road vision by adding more partners, the construction of Global trade channels and logistics infrastructure, thus promoting the flow of trade, is becoming the typical trade globalization.
           Three seize new opportunities to the sea
           Facing the new situation and new opportunities in the global shipping industry The Belt and Road "perspective, Xu Zuyuan gives three suggestions.
           He believes that, first of all, to strategic vision in advance layout, pre judgment and seize opportunities. For example, some Southeast Asian countries to labor and land cost advantage to undertake part of the transfer of manufacturing industry, which means that these countries import and export container will be prosperous in the future; in addition, the "The Belt and Road" initiative to further promote, the first is driven by infrastructure investment, the relevant countries will have a greater demand for iron ore stone, coal, crude oil and other raw materials, dry bulk cargo and tanker transport market will usher in a stage of vigorous development. It is very necessary to know the policies, regulations and market conditions of the relevant countries in advance, and to adjust the shipping center, the shipping route and the ship type accordingly.
           Secondly, we must boldly innovate. As a traditional industry, the shipping industry has been put on the "wind" of innovation in recent years. We should take advantage of this opportunity to improve production efficiency and improve service quality. For example, one of the development trends of the shipping business is shipping, it can change the poor flow of information, cargo, the insufficient current situation, greatly enhance the efficiency of transportation, making transportation become more transparent, the front lower cost. Container transport visualization is now being implemented, but also allows the owner to grasp the goods at any time and information, enhance customer experience.
           In addition, shipping enterprises also need to embrace heating. Hold together in two ways: one is the combination of all-round cooperation through the advantages of amplification, such as last year, the completion of the reorganization of COSCO Group, although the restructuring process more difficult, but after the completion of the restructuring effect than expected, significantly enhance the international competitiveness; also there is a complementary Baotuan short board, the model Baotuan is China Sinotrans Group merged into China Merchants Group, two enterprises complementary resources including integrated logistics, energy and transportation, bulk cargo transport, port park development and equipment manufacturing and other fields.
            Xu Zuyuan said that in the background of trade globalization, "the implementation of more and The Belt and Road" initiative, more in-depth, more and more economies in response to this initiative, China enterprises "sea" will be normalized. In the process of "going out", in the face of different regional cultural differences and risks, "Baotuan" is undoubtedly the best choice, both to avoid vicious competition, but also to achieve a risk sharing.
