Apr 06,2023
A foreign media analysis shows that ports in other parts of Asia need a lot of investment to be able to match the cargo throughput of the Chinese port. Hongde Xiaobian believes that it may be difficult for western enterprises to part ways with guo, the world's largest zui exporter.
U.S. and European companies have expressed interest in moving some of their manufacturing operations from the country to India and Southeast Asian countries. However, shipping industry sources warn that in addition to expanding manufacturing capacity, the rest of Asia must invest in port infrastructure to accommodate the giant container ships that play an important role in world trade.
According to the United Nations, more than 80 per cent of goods are transported by ship. But data from Drewry, a research group, shows that other manufacturing hubs in Asia lack ports capable of accommodating the huge ships that are crucial in moving goods from the East to the West.
China has 76 port terminals capable of berthing large ships that can carry more than 14000 20-foot standard containers (TEU), while South and Southeast Asia have only 31 such ports in total. Large ships account for about 2/3 of the shipping capacity between East Asia and Europe, according to data provider MDS Trans modal.
Mike Garratt, Managing Director of MDS Trans modalIt is "obvious" that without significant investment, ports in other emerging markets in Asia will struggle to handle container throughput on the scale of China's ".
Glenn Koepke, Managing Director, Supply Chain Monitoring Group FourKites"China's manufacturing strength and ability to produce and transport goods is unmatched," it said."
The gap between the Chinese port and its competitors is highlighted. According to Shenzhen-based Prospective Industry研究院(Qianzhan Industrial Research Institute)From 2016 to 2021, China has invested at least US $40 billion in coastal port infrastructure.
Data Group Dynamar and the United Nations (UN)According to the data, such investment means that the container throughput that the Guo port can handle last year is equivalent to 0.275 billion TEU, which is 80% higher than the total annual throughput of all Guo countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Garrett said other Asian emerging markets would need "significant investment" to catch up with China, adding that port operators typically take years to build a new terminal, or five years in the long run.
Dheeraj Bhatia, gao-level managing director of Hapg-Lloat (Hapag-Lloyd) Middle EastAlthough customers are expected to import more goods from India, India needs to do "much more" in terms of port investment to "take advantage" of the situation.
Rodolphe Saadé, CEO, Dafei Group (CMA-CGM)He told the Financial Times in early March that it could take "five or 10 years" for India and Southeast Asia to build terminals that could accommodate large ships and "play a different, larger role".
COSCO Shipping Ports (COSCO Shipping Ports) Deputy General Manager Chen YipengLast week, it said it was aware of corporate plans to move to Southeast Asia and was "actively looking for opportunities". If exports from the rest of Asia increase significantly, the shipping landscape will also need to be rewritten.
