June of this year, will be dredged channel Liujiang construction, shipping companies so with Imagination.

June this year, is to make people look forward to the day of all shipping. Earlier, the Liuzhou Government and the Autonomous Region Communications Department signed an agreement to jointly invest 1.6 billion yuan, dredging Liujiang - safflower Qianjiang station in the downstream channel to the channel Sanjiangkou Shilong, June to begin construction. In memory of running people on the boat, this channel while only 101.2 km, but it is the shipping industry's Under the agreement, to May 2011, this will ensure long navigable channel of 500-ton ship. Southwest Water to the sea north of this line channel, will achieve a real sense of flow.

quietly tonnage upgrade

Liuzhou, one of the larger shipping companies, the manager of the company Chenyong Wen told reporters that they had been concerned about the waterway information. He said the power station built in 2004 around the saffron water freight, for example, safflower power plants built before, and Liuzhou sea freight is relatively small, is completed, sea freight has increased greatly. Safflower station is completed, the water level in the reservoir area of Liuzhou 70.94 meters or so from the original rose to 77.5 meters, and long stays at this level, you can ship out kiloton.

Chen Yongwen said loyalty to the company before 2004, the total transport tonnage of the ship was 4,000 tons, by 2008 had risen to 14 vessels with tonnage combined total of 1.2 million tons. Chen Yongwen in Liuzhou in two to three years of shipping work on the development trend of shipping enterprises in Liuzhou City is quite clear. He understood that before 2005 the ship is carrying the largest amount of Liuzhou City, only 500 tons, but last year, the tonnage of the ship generally upgraded to 800 tons, and now there are tons of class more than 10 ships. Liuzhou Hengyun shipping transportation company was founded in 2006, according to the company staff, the early days of ship tonnage is also small, but last year added four new ships, the tonnage in the 800-1000 ton this year, 800-1000 intend to purchase three tons of ships. At the same time, a number of shipping companies in Liuzhou ships below 300 tons due to less competitive, have begun to withdraw from Liuzhou waterway transport market.

easily purchase hundreds of million investment in a ship, the shipping company in Liuzhou how can so much lung power? Chenyong Wen told reporters after the completion of safflower power station, located in Liuzhou Honghua upstream port power level, has been able to access tons of class ship, cargo terminal handling directly in Liuzhou. Although safflower station downstream shallow, but because power plants often release on safflower, downstream water level rise, large-tonnage ships can be down with the flow. In addition, Liu Gang, Liu technology, Yufeng Cement Plant and other large industrial enterprises,Bailey UGG boots, as the development of Liuzhou City, the driving force behind water transport enterprises. based on Liu, Yufeng cement and other enterprise products,UGG boots, Liuzhou transport market potential is great.

However, companies are in the water transport and industrial enterprises, Although the ship may kiloton smooth reservoir area in Liuzhou, but into the dry season, safflower Shilong station downstream to the estuary of the channel three shallow water and allows the big guy

now there Mishap

Channel Wing is a full chess Liuzhou has over 30 years of experience running aircraft captain. Yesterday, he had just driven a loaded 1,050 tons of steel cargo ships to reach Long-kiloton Sanjiangkou. Sanjiangkou water level is still very shallow, only 2 meters deep draft ships to go, they can only turn on the water upstream of the saffron sailing power. Wing said the whole chess, if not affected by the level of their ship 3 days to go to Guangzhou. The situation is now uncertain runoff, can only

safflower Shilong station downstream to the estuary of the channel is not only the three shoals, reefs and more, and the relatively narrow waterway, the crew are Kim Chi-wing said, narrowest part is only 15 meters wide, and they ship kiloton have 10 meters wide ship, passing through such a river, on the boat demanding.

reporter learned from the Liuzhou Channel Authority, Liujiang channel (liucheng Fengshan to as the State Long Sanjiangkou) length of 202.8 kilometers, a total of 41 rapids to navigation in 2004, safflower power station is completed, depends to a wooden cross covered the 102 kilometers of the 19 health Rapids. The remaining 22 is still to navigation Rapids, from 2001 to 2003, the council depends on a small, key barrel, gold beach, three stems after remediation and other beaches, to 3 channel standard, the other is 4 channel maintenance Rapids level. According to the Bureau staff, the saffron-built power station by the upper reaches of four power plants release water control, when you put water in the dry season ranged widely, so take the red flower power station downstream of the ship channel when the water level can not be predicted in advance, if the loading fashion much more, frequent incidents of ship grounding. Because of limited manpower resources, channel the Authority can do is rely on a small waterway Liujiang, phenylephrine Chau, key barrel, gold beach, three stems were machine dug so shallow gravel, but can not fundamentally change course shallow conditions.

Liuzhou Flight Management Office, according to the person in charge, the rectification power station downstream to Long Liujiang safflower Sanjiangkou section, along the way through Liujiang, like states, counties and other Wuxuan a total length of 101.2 km , the size of shoals 26, the channel will be upgraded to level four - that is, 500-ton ship can go.

companies hoping channels unblocked

Even the 500-ton ship is immune to go. The Wuxuan terminal cargo.

It is understood that shipping companies Liuzhou carrier bulk large-scale production enterprises, the provision of manufactured products to the terminal from the train shipment handling services, such as willow steel rolled steel factory, the first and then transported to the terminal by car shipment. Chen Yongwen said, met Liu Jiangfeng water period, with the motor transport of steel from the area just to the white sand from the willow partridge Wharf Pier or a few kilometers, and freight rates as long as 8 yuan / ton; but the case of the dry season, cars to roll 90 kilometers outside of steel pulled Wuxuan terminals, for the production enterprises, the tariffs to rise by a mile. If the dredging, the long 500-ton ships can pass, kiloton half of the ship can be loaded in Liuzhou, and then to Wuxuan loading, you can save a lot of road transport costs.

In addition, ships the goods to the Liuzhou City in Guangdong, the return flight, when the basic is the light ship. Reason is because saffron station downstream to the estuary of the channel three shallow Shilong, even if the goods are loaded on the ship is also able to come up. Once the dredged channel, return flight, half of the cargo ship can load the return flight, Liuzhou shipping will form a virtuous circle.

water transport market potential of a shipping company personnel, water transport is the most ideal low-cost mode of transport for the industrial enterprises in Liuzhou that the water transport to reduce costs.

It is understood that the reason the company Flight Operations Liuzhou have to upgrade the small tonnage of ships of large tonnage ships, in addition to energy saving considerations, the shipping is also more competitive. Shipping & Enterprises calculations: water from Liuzhou to Guangzhou, a large tonnage of the ship requires crew of 6 people, fuel consumption is only more than a small tonnage of less than 1 ton, while the number of delivery is two to three times the small tonnage of the ship; As transport large tonnage, freight rates are relatively cheap, two years ago, sea freight Liuzhou to Guangzhou for 60 yuan / ton, and now the water tariff as long as 45-50 yuan / ton.

. In a recent business forum upgrade path, the car manufacturer said that to keep them open if Liujiang channel will be considered by water transport steel and spare parts and even cars can be shipped overseas by sea. The official estimate is probably a bit, now a ship thousands of tons of 8-10 meters wide, about 38 meters, if the vessel converted into 3 layers, covers an area of 6 meters by a car length calculation, a thousand tons class ships can let go more than 50 cars.

reporter learned that, at present mostly Liuzhou transport bulk dry cargo ships, large container-type ships are not many. Liuzhou Channel Management Office statistics show that in 2008, Liuzhou total 3.829 million tons cargo ships, but only to the port throughput in Liuzhou half of the total. This shows that many shipping companies in Liuzhou large tonnage vessels are running the ship in the port field. Flight Operations Management Office

Liuzhou the person in charge, improved port handling technology and collection and distribution methods, and guide the direction of the port to the development of integrated logistics services, this is a major water transport Liuzhou goals, including the focus on improving the container, ro-ro and bulk cargo transportation capacity, seamless river ports.

million tons by the Xijiang River in Guangxi plans to build the wide space. It is understood that, as can channel upgraded to Grade II, Liuzhou Port will reach 50 million tons of throughput, the figure is the current annual throughput of more than 10 times. To this end, Liuzhou complacent, take active measures to speed up the sea southwest of the North line of the channel water transport planning, construction, promote the work, and strive to build into the West River one hundred million tons this channel the

transportation costs, thereby enhancing overall economic efficiency of enterprises, workers compensation and benefits will also be a corresponding rise.

as the southwest region of China in a major transportation hub and regional cargo hub, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Guangxi, Jiaozuo-Liuzhou Liuzhou intersection of three major rail lines in the same time, the city or the sea Gui, Liu Yi expressway connection points, such as national highway criss-crossing 209,322,323. With convenient rail and highway transportation system compared to the long-term stay in Liuzhou water transport in the lower level, greatly restricts the city along the inland waterway and economic development. The channel, rapids regulation is lagging behind, Liujiang

With the upgrading of industrial structure in eastern China, the acceleration of the eastern region of Guangxi ushered in the transfer of industry to undertake a new historical opportunity. Liuzhou, Guangxi, as well as strong industrial strength southwest of the city region, and East 我国 major industrial manufacturing center there is great complementarity space, and Liuzhou, Guangxi is located in the hinterland, backed by Southwest, face Zhu Sanjiao, in the eastern region to undertake industrial shift competition in the city has a comparative advantage. But the big industry can not do without a large logistics support, road traffic in a good basis to build a low cost for the logistics of large-scale out of the water transport system in order to attract more support as the logistics and transport needs of large enterprises to settle down.

, a steady stream of foreign investment can promote sustainable economic development in the city of Liuzhou, and for the public to create more and better employment opportunities, and create the transfer of a weapon.

Liujiang fairway to open a new chapter

Water has set volume, low cost, small footprint, low energy consumption and pollution characteristics of light, in a variety of transport mode has a significant advantage. Speed up the construction of Liujiang channel to improve the channel capacity is essential. Liuzhou Water channel development plan with the research, Liuzhou proposed for around 2020, with completion of a large vine Gorge Dam impoundment, Liuzhou less favorable channel conditions to achieve secondary standards to achieve full-year 2000-ton ship navigation, the annual transport capacity of 50 million tons of goals. However, as the industrial city of Liuzhou, the existing iron and steel, metallurgy, automobiles, machinery, chemicals,UGGs, building materials, logistics in great quantities, an urgent need for the smooth flow of water logistics channel as a support, in large rattan Gorge Dam water storage before completion of 10 years,cheap UGG boots, if the Liujiang channel capacity is still stuck in the adoption of the current level, the city's industrial development will create serious constraints.

Therefore, the city proposes to carry out short-term goal Liujiang waterway, that around 2010, to seek the path Liujiang upgraded to four standards, to achieve a full year pass through the 500-ton capacity ship. April 9, Liuzhou City Government signed an agreement with the regional Department of Transportation plans to take 50% of all funds, joint ventures, 1.6 billion yuan, from June this year, two years, we remediation dredging Liujiang safflower station to the Channel Sanjiangkou Shilong and engineering sectors within the channel by four criteria taking into account the construction of three paths. By regulation, the leg of 500-ton ships can pass throughout the year, the channel of transport capacity from the current 352 million tons to 13.24 million tons, basically to meet the 2015 traffic growth Liuzhou water needs.

signing of the agreement, marking the southwest of the North line of water carriage channels Waterway Construction curtain officially opened, Liujiang channel development and construction of gold ushered in the period of silence for many years the .

potential water and land transport

It is understood that only the Liuzhou area of Guangdong enterprises to goods shipped by water to 500 million tons per year. The Liuzhou create Liujiang

Guigang city river transport development, in order to provide a good reference to Liuzhou. The city through public water transport, the way of hot metal transport will be road, rail and inland waterway network closer together, in 2008, Guigang port cargo throughput reached 31 million tons, among which, there is a large part by road, railway, after passing through Liuzhou shipped to your port of shipment.

can not let these from the land and Liuzhou Chen Guangming that, if the dredged channel, to improve the water on the basis of prevailing conditions, to create conditions for road, railway network and inland ports seamless and root out the great potential of water and land transport, while large vines with water storage Xia Project completed favorable conditions, realized in 2020, Liuzhou Port throughput of 5000 tons of long-term goal could be a matter of course.

inland areas in Southwest China is rich in resources, and coastal areas of Guangdong Pearl River Delta is the kind of production the main consumer market. Liuzhou is located in the Pearl River Delta and Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou province, southwest of the junction between, which makes the construction of the Pan-Pearl River Delta in Liuzhou area with water and land transport hub in good condition. Southwest Water to the sea to the north line of channel Liujiang, Qianjiang segment into a 2,000-ton ship can be navigable throughout the year the to Liuzhou into port on board, an integrated transport costs will be substantially reduced.

In addition, safflower Liujiang station until the Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in the upper reaches of the river has all become a reservoir, to achieve a drainage channel of the cascade, with the county through a series of land transport infrastructure have been completed and fully qualified Sanjiang into the Pan-Pearl River Delta region a major transshipment port land and water transport.

prospects to see the high line

Yang and port close to the proposed large-scale logistics field, with the construction of large public water transport to Hong Kong as the ideal conditions. Currently authorities have planned to carry out Phase I, Phase II project, the increase of three construction scale, the Sun and Bridge Road south of the sun and all the port land, planning and construction of the overall port throughput capacity can reach 1,500 tons.

hot metal transport need to address the problem of the railway into the port, this industry have raised three more feasible solution: First, the introduction of new rail links, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong Port Area; second is to expand the port of Sun Village the scale of construction, while the introduction of the railway; third terminal will be converted into Liujiang mills own social public hot metal transport terminals.

pillar position in view of the automobile industry and the Liuzhou Hexi automobile and engineering machinery manufacturing relative concentration of the layout of the status quo, the relevant departments to consider the double red bridge planning and construction of the upstream river shore Liu Jiangnan Automobile Ro-Ro Terminal, with the Guangzhou Nansha Automobile Ro-Ro terminal cooperation can be related to the company's products through the inland waterway and maritime transport in the forward to the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China's coastal provinces, transportation costs greatly reduced.

or build second lock. After dredging the next two years, after remediation, safflower hub of the existing lock and the channel capacity has been unable to match. Therefore, we must second-tier ship lock as soon as possible the construction of power plant safflower preliminary work.

for Liujiang Channel regulation through step by step,
