Public trust. Com 65438+10.7 18 nautical mile Qiongzhou Strait once blocked traffic and once blocked civilization. Now, a Guangdong-Hainan railway across the Qiongzhou Strait is about to open to traffic, and the century-old dream that has troubled generations is about to become a reality. With the world-famous Guangdong-Hainan railway passage project passing the acceptance test recently, the train will also "take" the ferry from the southern tip of Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province to Hainan Island. This marks the end of Hainan's history of no trains with the mainland.
Guangdong-Hainan Railway is a national key railway project during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period. With a total investment of 4.5 billion yuan, this project is the first cross-strait railway in China. It consists of Zhanhai Line, train ferry and "Second Line and One Crossing" in the west ring of Hainan Island. The Zhanjiang-Haian Zhanhai line across Leizhou Peninsula was completed on February 28th, 200 1 year 1 year, and passed the acceptance inspection. The freight will be opened on February 28th last year. Qiongzhou Strait Railway Ferry includes cross-sea train ferry, Guangdong-Hainan Railway Strait North Port and South Port, Haikou Station, Haikou South Station and some station lines, with a total length of 182.5 km. At present, all projects have been completed.
The "One Line, One Crossing" project of Guangdong-Hainan Railway Passage, which will be completed on the 7th, consists of Zhanjiang 139 km railway line in Guangdong and 24 km railway ferry from Haian Beigang Wharf to Haikou Nangang Wharf in Hainan Province. Before the official opening to traffic, the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Passage Project Preliminary Inspection Committee, composed of 36 experts, including the heads of relevant departments of the Ministry of Railways, Guangdong Province and Hainan Province, and the designers of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Passage Project, made a comprehensive acceptance of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Passage Project.

China News Service, Qiongzhou Strait 1 6th, June
China News Service reporter Guan Xiangdong Zhou Yin
Fu Zhihuan, Minister of Railways, must have a technical background. Today, in the magnitude 8 storm, he stood in front of the main console of the first cross-sea train ferry "Yuehai Railway No.1" in China. The old railway understood the new ship technology and listened with relish.
In order to ensure the smooth opening of the "Yuehai Railway No.1" tomorrow, Minister Fu Zhihuan led experts from all walks of life to check the ferry again in the cold wind and rain this morning; In the master's room, he and Tu Yourui, former deputy chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways and now president of the National Investment and Development Bank, listened carefully to the technical report of Yu Baojun, chief designer of Guangdong-Guangdong Railway No.1.
It seems that God intends "Guangdong-Hainan Railway No.1" to show its elegance in front of ministers. Today, the most difficult sea and climate conditions for driving according to the design requirements are given: the offshore wind force is seven to eight, and the maximum instantaneous wind force is nine; The situation of waves and swells is very complicated; There is moderate to heavy rain at sea.
In the case that all other ro-ro ships in Qiongzhou Strait are suspended, according to the design requirements, Guangdong-Hainan Railway No.1 still sails against the wind.
In the master's room, Fu Zhihuan became interested in the principle of the device. Several provincial experts stood in front of the main console and held a technical seminar when they learned that "Yuehai Railway No.1" was rolling less than three degrees on the rough sea due to the opening of the first ship in China.
In a short time, the minister stood in front of the ship's main console and became interested in the single-handle control system used for the first time on domestic ships: this control device provided by British Rolls Royce Company automatically distributes power by computer, and can synthesize the forces of two main engines, two steering engines and three lateral propellers with only one handle, making berthing control a pleasure. In the past, ships had to use at least seven handles to adjust a certain direction.
Fu Zhihuan, who was full of enthusiasm, accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter in front of the main console and commented on the strategic significance, technical level and future operation mode of "Guangdong-Hainan Railway No.1".
Fu Zhihuan first told reporters that the main purpose of the state's investment of 4.5 billion yuan to build the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Corridor is the need of land development. Connecting Hainan, the southernmost part of the motherland, with the national railway network line is the need of the national investment strategy, so even if it is operated at a loss in the early stage, it should be invested in construction; The opening of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway will undoubtedly play a decisive role in Hainan's social, economic and cultural development.
Fu Zhihuan thinks that the technical design level of the first cross-sea train ferry in China is first-class, and it adopts many new technologies, so it is a cross-sea train ferry that can keep up with the latest international ship design level. Moreover, according to the preliminary inspection report of ship, bridge, port, station and station, it completely meets the design requirements, indicating that the comprehensive ability of railway, ship, port and bridge system engineering in China is also first-class
He revealed that the smooth opening of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Line 1 has a very important reference significance for the upcoming Yanda train ferry. He believes that the second Guangdong-Shanghai railway train ferry being built by Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard will learn from this ferry and its technology will be more perfect.
Fu Zhihuan told reporters that the Ministry of Railways, which is reforming the railway management mode, has specially designated the operation mode of Guangdong-Hainan Railway as a joint-stock system. Guangdong Railway Co., Ltd., which holds 66.7% of the shares of the Ministry of Railways, 22% of the shares of Hainan and 1 1% of the shares of Guangdong Province, will operate in a "self-financing" market-oriented way and strive to enter the investment recovery period in 20 10.
He analyzed that Hainan's current transportation market capacity is limited, with less than 4 million tons of melons and vegetables and10 million tourists a year. After the opening of "Yuehai Railway No.1", there will be new market segments, and he hopes that Yuehai Railway Company can win about half of them. However, due to the previous shareholders' focus on construction, the operation design after the opening of the railway has not been fully developed. He hoped that after the ferry was opened, Yuehai Railway Company would start designing marketing plans as soon as possible, improve its service level, participate in the competition in Hainan's transportation market and promote Hainan's economic development.
Less than an hour later, Guangdong-Hainan Railway No.1 entered Beigang Wharf, and Fu Zhihuan led the experts to the train deck on the lower floor of the ferry: when the rails laid on the land trestle successfully docked with the rails on the ferry, Fu Zhihuan, who was absorbed in observing the technical process, showed a gratified smile.
Then, Fu Zhihuan's most familiar train signal light came on, and an eight-carriage truck got on the ferry through the trestle and stopped firmly beside the Minister of Railways ... (End)
It takes only 50 minutes to cross Qiongzhou Strait. Officials from the Ministry of Railways revealed the Guangdong-Hainan Railway.
BEIJING, 65438+10.6 (Xinhua News Agency)-Guangdong-Hainan Railway is the first cross-sea railway in China. It ended the history of "the train between Chinese mainland and Hainan Island is impassable" and created a new miracle in the history of railway construction.
Cai Qinghua, vice minister of the Ministry of Railways and leader of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway Construction Leading Group, told Xinhua News Agency a little-known story about the Guangdong-Hainan Railway.
-Railways are the lifeline of Hainan.
Speaking of the origin of the construction of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway, Cai Qinghua's topic returned to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression era.
Cai Qinghua said that in the early 1940s, the Japanese invaders built more than 250 kilometers of railways to suppress Hainan Qiongya detachment and plunder Shilu iron mine in Hainan. The standard of this railway is very low and the line conditions are very poor. Stopped by 1945.
After liberation, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council decided to gradually transform this railway. But after all, the foundation is too poor, and it can only be transformed into a third-class railway, and its operation has been very poor. At the same time, the railway is not connected with the mainland, and its function has not been fully exerted after the transformation.
With the development of civil aviation, Haikou and Sanya have opened routes to all parts of the country, and the links between Hainan and the mainland are getting closer and closer. However, the transportation of out-of-season melons and vegetables as commodities and agricultural products is still limited: ships are limited by time and planes are limited by cost.
Cai Qinghua said that Hainan is rich in iron ore, agricultural products, tourism and aquaculture. One winter, I went to Hainan, where the persimmon peppers were big and beautiful, only 40 cents a catty. I thought this was a joke. The island is lush with green grass and a pleasant climate. The whole island is surrounded by aquaculture, and Shilu iron mine is rare in the world. However, it is precisely because of the lack of railways connected with the mainland that these resource advantages are difficult to be quickly transformed into economic advantages. From 1988 when Hainan was established as a province to 14 years ago, the development of Hainan was not satisfactory. In a sense, the railway is the lifeline of Hainan.
-There was an argument about whether to dig tunnels, bridges or ferries.
With the concern of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Guangdong-Hainan Railway was put on the agenda in the 1990s. Cai Qinghua said that there was a debate about how the train passed through Qiongzhou Strait, whether to dig a tunnel, bridge or ferry.
Some people suggest that digging tunnels can take a long-term view and greatly improve the traffic capacity. This is also a precedent in the world, such as the English-French tunnel in the English Channel. After analysis, we found that the underground situation of Qiongzhou Strait is very complicated, with shallow seabed on both sides, but there is a deep trench in the middle, with the deepest point of120m. If you want to build a tunnel through the hard rock on the seabed, you must first dig a deep tunnel, at least below 120 meters. At the same time, the slope should not be too steep, and the tunnel should be dug very long, otherwise the train will not get on. This plan needs at least four or five billion yuan.
Others suggested that a bridge could be built in Qiongzhou Strait. This method is also not desirable because the pier needs to be very high. In the case of unclear seabed geology, technical problems are still difficult to solve.
Cai Qinghua said that considering the technology, time and capital, he finally chose to ferry the train by boat. The shipbuilding cost is low, the technical difficulty is small and the time is short. According to estimates, the annual cargo volume of Hainan Island is 6.5438+million tons. Building two ferries to transport trains across the sea, several times a day, can fully meet the needs. The cost of the two ferries is only about 400 million yuan.
Cai Qinghua said, of course, with the development of the situation, the passenger volume of freight has increased, the technical problems have been solved and the investment has also increased. We can also consider using bridges or tunnels. But at present, it is undoubtedly the most practical way to transport trains by ferry.
-The train ferry can resist strong winds of magnitude 8.
Whether the cross-sea railway is safe or not is everyone's concern. Cai Qinghua said that security issues are guaranteed.
Cai Qinghua said that the ferry carrying the train adopts advanced technology and can resist the strong wind of magnitude 8. If there is a strong wind above magnitude 8, we will stop working. However, in Qiongzhou Strait, there are only five or six days of strong winds of magnitude 8 or above every year, and the most is 10.
The ferry is very well balanced. There are four pairs of railings on the boat. When the farthest side of the rail is loaded on the truck, the inclination of the ferry shall not exceed two degrees. The ferry is also flexible and can spin around in the same place. In line with the principle of safety first, we first make it easy and then difficult, first get on the truck and then get on the bus, first during the day and then at night, and then push away after gaining experience.
The ferry is also equipped with complete life-saving equipment. In addition to two conventional lifeboats with 60 people on the main deck, there are two sets of vertical landing evacuation devices on both sides of the upper deck, and there are two sets of inflatable slideway evacuation devices on the main deck, which can ensure that all passengers can be safely evacuated to lifeboats and life rafts within half an hour in case of accidents.
-It only takes 50 minutes to cross Qiongzhou Strait.
"From the north bank to the south bank, it takes only 50 minutes for the train ferry to cross the Qiongzhou Strait." Cai Qinghua said, "It saves money than airplanes and time than ordinary ships, which provides a good choice for goods and passengers to enter and leave Hainan Island."
Cai Qinghua said that in the past, goods from other places were generally transported by car to Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, and then passed through the national road to Hainan South. It usually takes one and a half to two hours to cross Qiongzhou Strait by boat. These ships are not only small in tonnage, but also resistant to class 6 winds and waves at most. It takes a long time for Hainan's goods to be transported to the mainland, to various coastal ports, and then to take trains and cars. Some fresh fruits and vegetables have experienced these twists and turns. "Daylily cools early." Train ferry has solved this problem to some extent.
As for the price, Cai Qinghua said that train ferries are definitely cheaper than airplanes and cars. Nowadays, many people travel to Hainan Island by air. However, there are also many people who can't afford to fly. It is not only cheap to take a train ferry, but also you can enjoy the scenery of Qiongzhou Strait along the way.
Cai Qinghua said that the Guangdong-Hainan Railway has opened up railway links between Hainan and the mainland. It is the road for Hainan people to get rich, and it also provides convenience for goods and passengers from all over the country to enter and leave Hainan. Source: Xinhua News Agency
China's first cross-sea railway is about to open to traffic, and Yuehai No.1 is insured for 200 million yuan.
China news agency, Beijing, 6 January-China's first cross-sea railway, the Guangdong-Hainan Railway, will be officially opened on 7 January. According to relevant reports here, the project opening plan has been basically determined a few days ago, and all preparations are now ready.
At present, the "Yuehai Railway No.1" is ready to go, and the North-South Port Wharf is all ready, only to be officially opened tomorrow. After the opening of the Guangdong-Hainan Railway, the first freight train will be opened this year 1 28, and the train passenger station with tropical customs has been basically completed. In April this year, after the completion of the "Yuehai Railway No.2", the two ships will travel in opposite directions, from Haikou to Hai 'an, and the one-way journey takes only 1 hour 10 minute. The train ferry left for Hai 'an North Port at 7: 00 this morning to stand by. It is understood that after the ferry train arrives, 200 people will participate in various docking work. After the official opening, the first train from Hai 'an will carry cars and trains full of goods.
Hainan Branch of Pacific Property Insurance Company and Yuehai Railway Co., Ltd. also signed the insurance agreement of "Yuehai Railway 1", with the insured amount of 200 million yuan. This is the highest amount of insurance for ships at sea at present, and it is also a unique train ferry insurance project in China.
Economic observation: Guangdong-Hainan railway-the wings of Hainan's economic take-off
China News Service, Haikou, January 6 (Reporter Gu) The Guangdong-Hainan Railway Passage, known as the "lifeline" of Hainan people, will be opened on the 7th of this month. The opening of the first cross-sea railway in China indicates that Hainan Island will no longer be isolated from China railway network, and Hainan's economy will take off.
As the second largest island in China, Hainan Island faces Leizhou Peninsula across Qiongzhou Strait in the north, adjacent to Xisha, Nansha Islands and South China Sea in China in the south, Beibu Gulf and Southeast Asian countries in the west and international shipping routes in the east, which has a very important strategic position. The island is rich in minerals, tropical cash crops and tourism resources, with broad development prospects; The island's economic development needs to rely on the mainland market and import a large number of production and living materials from the mainland. Because there is no safe, convenient and high-energy land-island traffic passage, the economic development of Hainan Province is seriously restricted. The connection with the mainland railway will improve Hainan's external transportation system and meet the needs of building emerging industrial bases such as petrochemical, building materials, textile and chemical fiber factories and developing tropical high-efficiency agriculture and tropical island tourism.
Agricultural officials on the island will never forget that Hainan, which has tropical resources in China, is stuck in the neck of agricultural development because of traffic bottlenecks. Only in 200 1 year, the total amount of agricultural and sideline products and their processed products exported by Hainan is about 4.97 million tons, including 3.4 million tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. About 40% of fruits and vegetables failed to leave the island in time and were forced to sell at low prices, or rotted in the ground in vain. More than 90% of fruits and vegetables in Hainan are shipped out of the island by car, but less than 10% by sea and air. According to a statistic, Hainan sold 5.3 billion yuan of fruits and vegetables the year before last, and the transportation industry earned/kloc-0.75 billion yuan by transporting fruits and vegetables, which is equivalent to one third of the fruit and vegetable income. Zhan Changzhi, a professor at the Social Science Center of Hainan University, said, "Relying on train transportation can curb this third and become Hainan's green competitiveness."
As the only tropical island in China, its beautiful natural scenery has attracted many domestic and foreign tourists. The number of people who came to Hainan the year before last exceeded11million. Last year, it exceeded12 million person-times. There are only two ways for these people to get to the island: by plane or by boat. At present, Hainan has the ability to receive 20 million people every year. According to the tourist source surveys conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, 75% people want to travel to Hainan, which has become the first choice destination for Chinese mainland's winter vacation. However, Hainan has disappeared from the list of national tourist destinations. The reason is obvious: tourists who fly to the island account for about half of the total number of tourists Among the travel expenses, transportation expenses such as air tickets account for 70% to 80% of the travel expenses. This virtually keeps some tourists out of Hainan. It is predicted that the number of tourists in Hainan will exceed18 million by 20 10, and the railway will become the first choice for people to travel because of its advantages of safety, speed and low price.
Ai Jiechu, an engineer in the transportation department of Yuehai Railway Co., Ltd., said that the opening of the railway has created new opportunities for the development of Hainan's industry. He said that the completed Haikou South Station is the largest comprehensive freight station of Yuehai Company. Relying on the railway station, we will build a number of comprehensive warehouses, specialized markets and wholesale centers, and gradually form a modern logistics distribution center integrating five centers of wholesale, processing, packaging, warehousing and operation, so as to build Hainan's agricultural and sideline products and industrial products into logistics centers leading to all parts of the country, and the goods entering the island will also flow to all parts of Hainan at low cost.
At present, 75% of Hainan's daily necessities are imported from outside the island, with poor logistics and difficult economic prosperity. The natural limitations of Hainan's "island economy" call for the strong support of modern logistics industry.
According to statistics, the average annual capital turnover rate of industrial enterprises in Hainan Province is 1. 14 times, while the national average is 1.58 times.
"If the turnover rate of industrial enterprises in Hainan can reach the national level, it can save 2.7 billion yuan in circulation every year, equivalent to half of the province's annual fiscal revenue!" Yang Qian, deputy director of the Office of the Provincial Economic and Trade Department, said with emotion. He said that this railway channel will connect more than 90% of Hainan's port throughput, two major airports and the expressway network in the province, as well as more than 90% of the information industry, more than 80% of the commerce industry and more than 70% of the warehousing industry in the province. The Guangdong-Hainan railway passage has brought new impetus to the comprehensive integration of Hainan's logistics resources.
Railway transportation has also brought new hope to Hainan's western industrial corridor: after several years of cultivation, it has begun to take shape from Chengmai Ancient Town Development Zone in the north to Yangpu Economic Development Zone and Oriental Chemical City in the south. "Corridor" provides a transportation foundation for the railway, and the railway will also reduce the circulation cost for "Made in the West" and create conditions for participating in market competition with its own services.
Economic experts here believe that transportation facilities such as railways, highways and airports are the wings of the local economy. Guangdong-Hainan Railway, like a ribbon, links Hainan with the whole of South China, and the two places will share resources, markets and technologies in a larger scope. At the same time, with the help of the railway network extending in all directions in the mainland, Hainan's products will further penetrate into the vast hinterland of the motherland. Now that the whistle is blowing, the end of the world is no longer far away, and Hainan's economy is ready to take off. (End)
