July 2023 1 1 day is 19 China Maritime Day. The launching ceremony of the main forum of China Ocean Day and National Ocean Day Week in 2023 was held in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. At the launching ceremony that morning, the China Shipping Development Report 2022 released by the Ministry of Transport showed that in 2022, the annual port cargo throughput and port container throughput of China increased by 33% and 56% respectively compared with a decade ago.
By the end of last year, the capacity of China's fleet had doubled compared with that of ten years ago. As the world's largest trader of goods and the second largest economy, about 95% of China's import and export trade goods are completed by sea, with sea routes and service networks all over the world, and the port scale, crew number, shipbuilding output and fleet size all rank among the top in the world.
Present situation and development prospect of China shipping industry;
Although China's shipping industry has made great progress and achievements, it also faces some challenges. First of all, China's shipping industry still has problems such as low technical level and low management level, and China's overseas trade is under great pressure. Thirdly, due to the fierce competition in the container market in recent years, China is not open to the outside world, and cooperation with other countries and regions needs to be strengthened.
Despite some difficulties and challenges, China's shipping industry still has a good development prospect. In the future, China's shipping industry will get more support and investment under the impetus of the "Belt and Road" and "New Infrastructure" policies. At the same time, it will gradually realize digitalization and intelligence.
Under the current situation, we need to pay attention to and discuss the current situation and future trend of China shipping industry, and promote its healthy and sustainable development by strengthening technological innovation and improving management level. At the same time, we should also strengthen win-win cooperation in container transportation and logistics services to promote the healthy development of the entire industrial chain ecosystem.
