Chapter 984 Super Deepwater Port

What can't be done at home, we can't do it abroad. What we can't do at Shankou, Fan's family can't do it. "When everyone was eager for Fan Wubing to face reality and give up his unrealistic ideas, Fan Wubing said these words boldly.

Everyone was suddenly speechless. My heart says that a child with a yellow mouth does not know how high the sky is and how high it is. If this place can build a deep-water port with a capacity of more than 300,000 tons, then it will be crazy. Are we experts just freeloaders? !

Seeing everyone's unconvinced looks, Fan Wubing thought to himself that you guys really don't strive for progress, even if you are professional, you haven't made any achievements. No wonder the domestic technical level has not been improving, so he said to them, " I have done some homework before. The sediment conditions of Tianjin Port, Huangzhi Port, Caofedian, etc. in the Bohai Bay are similar to those of Hengshan Port. The seabed conditions of Hengshan Port can be modified artificially without any effort. It is an exaggeration to say that it is not difficult to expand the water depth to more than 20 meters. "

As soon as he said this. Suddenly everyone was in an uproar, saying how could this be possible?

"Even if the seabed sediment environment is easy to transform, how can we complete this task without more than ten years? And how much money is needed for a ten-year project? If there is no benefit from the investment, how can we achieve it? Maintain the sustainable development of Hengsan Port? Moreover, if the international shipping situation changes in ten years, or if Busan Port has become an international shipping center, then what will be the point of building Hengsan Port?" Some people immediately refuted it. road.

Wu Fukuan was also confused about this. He didn't know how credible Fan Wubing's words were. Bi Huan is not very clear on matters that are too professional, and he prefers to listen to experts.

But one thing he knows very well is that if Hengshan Port really builds a channel that can enter and exit the 300,000-ton waterway, Donghai Province will be reached in one fell swoop. Driving the Jiangshan Port under construction, Donghai Province can be reached immediately. To become the largest international shipping center in Northeast Asia, even today's international hub ports such as Shanghai Port will be far behind.

Wu Fukuan knew very well what impact this incident would have on his career. This would increase his political performance by more than dozens of percentage points, so he most hoped that Fan Wubing's words would be meaningful.

Fan Wubing said to everyone. "During the construction of Jiangshan Port, I was already aware of the problem of seabed siltation. At the same time, I also asked the headquarters engineering staff to investigate this and conduct targeted research on solution strategies. Not long ago, a full set of solutions was proposed. At the same time, our subsidiary company of Fanshi Investment Group has developed large-scale mechanized equipment that can operate on the seabed. The seabed dredging volume of one machine can reach more than 2,000 cubic meters in 24 hours, while the dredging volume of Hengshan Port can be reached. The volume requires about four million cubic meters, which means that one piece of equipment can complete the work in two thousand working days. Our company has installed about twenty such equipment, including all the preparation work. It will take about half a year to complete the seabed dredging project.”

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

They only considered the problem from the perspective of the natural environment, but they did not expect that Fan Wubing not only investigated the specific composition of the seabed, but also came up with supporting solutions and even built the equipment. Doesn't this mean that Fan Wubing can conquer this Hengshan Mountain? The idea of ​​Hong Kong has been around for a long time?

Wu Fukuan couldn't help but slap his forehead. People in Taoist circles said that Jiang was too old, but they didn't expect Fan Wubing to be far-sighted. Even more old than the old fox, he has fallen into his plan. His previous actions were just timing.

But he felt relieved in an instant. After all, Fan's investment in Donghai Province would only be more, not less, and what changes would the construction of a large-scale deep-water port bring to Donghai Province? Hundreds of billions of related economic benefits per year, or hundreds of billions? This is really hard to say.

But no matter what, Wu Fukuan is very welcoming to Fan Wubing's plan and the investment project. In that sentence, if you dare to die, I will bury you. Who is afraid of whom? !

In fact, after the Fan Investment Group inspected Hengshan Port, it strongly suggested that Fan Wubing take over the construction project of this port. It would be best to fully invest in building a new port.

Of course, this is really just wishful thinking. Although the new port law means that private capital can also control ports, there are still some problems in operation. Even if a big shot like Fan Wubing wants to monopolize good things, it is impossible, because Building a port always requires strong support from local governments. How can it make sense if you don't let them have a small share of equity?

And if the government takes shares. It also saves a lot of trouble and makes communication with some interest groups much easier.

In fact, Du Fei, deputy director of the National Reform Commission, pointed out when he led a national joint research team to conduct a comprehensive coastal survey of Donghai Province in August last year that the focus of Hou'eting in Donghai Province was Mokou. The focus of port construction is to establish large-scale deep water and fresh water facilities.

The construction of the 300,000-ton waterway has always been regarded as a breakthrough in coastal development. The northern coast of Donghai Province has no large ports and has always been at the end of the economy. Once there is a port and a port with a 300,000-ton waterway that adapts to the requirements of world economic development, it will suddenly become the leader of Donghai Province's economic development.

At present, Donghai Province, as a strategic location connecting the East China Sea Industrial Belt and the Coastal Economic Axis, has a grand strategy of using deep-water channels to promote port development and has to be settled.

The port construction of the Hengshan Deep Water Port is also an objective requirement for international trade and international shipping. At present, domestic key basic raw materials and international trade cargo transport ship types are getting larger and larger. The largest imported ore and crude oil ships have reached 300,000 tons, and a 20,000 TEU ship The length of the ship is more than 300 meters, and the draft of large crude oil ships is more than 23 meters. Without deep-water channels, large ocean-going terminals cannot be built.

More importantly, Hengshan Port’s port-side industrial exhibition will step into a new era.

Fan Wubing is already considering intensifying efforts to build supporting service facilities for ports and terminals and operate a 300,000-ton ore terminal. Let Hengshan Port reach cooperation intentions with Jiangnan Iron and Steel Group, Fan's Container, which is under construction, and Fan's Shipping Company, which is under construction, to form a one-stop service.

In this way, if the construction of the 300,000-ton ore terminal is fully promoted, a new 300,000-ton container berth and two 100,000-ton bulk cargo terminals will be built, as well as railway electrification, highways, national and provincial highway upgrades, dredging The construction supporting facilities for a large number of peripheral collection and distribution projects such as port road reconstruction and expansion, especially in addition to the 300,000-ton waterway, will also need to be built with a 150,000-ton waterway. The cumulative investment is estimated to exceed 10 billion yuan.

The 300,000-ton waterway currently under construction is in the shape of a "herringbone" and consists of the inner section of the outer channel, the main channel, the outer section of the outer channel and the recommended route.

This is a huge project, requiring a total of 30 kilometers of waterway management. The designed effective width of the waterway is 400 meters and the water depth is nearly 28 meters. The main port area will be dug from the current water depth of 16 meters to 25 meters. The one-way channel is widened to a two-way channel. According to estimates, the total investment in the 300,000-ton waterway project is about 4 billion yuan, plus investment in other projects. The investment of tens of billions of yuan is only a lot more.

However, the successful construction of the 300,000-ton channel in Hengshan Port will bring benefits to more companies in the hinterland. According to calculations. Using 300,000-ton cargo ships to transport ore to steel companies along the Longhai Line and Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line will reduce transportation costs by at least 50 yuan per ton. In addition, coal from southern Shaanxi, southern Shanxi, Gansu, Xinjiang and other places has to be transported out, and the deep-water channel carries high hopes. Hengshan Port is expected to become a regional central port for the east and west rail-sea combined transport in the central coastal area, and for roasting coal to the sea.

The reason why Fan Wubing drew such a big picture is mainly because the fifth largest container port in the world, Busan Port in South Korea, is considering an ambitious plan to complete the construction of a thirty-berth port within fifteen years. The new port, relying on a huge logistics park, now has ten berths continuously put into use.

The Port of Busan is located on the main routes of North America and Europe. However, as more and more ships sail directly to China, Busan is changing its positioning to become a transit port, where container ships can be unloaded and loaded onto smaller cargo ships, directly Shipped to many small ports in Japan, and the transportation cost within Japan is quite high. The above strategy is cheaper than shipping containers to major ports such as Yokohama and Kobe.

The rise of China is an important consideration for Busan's small and medium-sized enterprises. As low-cost imitation weaving, shoemaking and other industries have moved to China in recent years, Han Zai people know that they must retain their important ship parts and auto parts manufacturing industries. Therefore, we hope to build a first-class port comparable to Singapore and Hong Kong through increased investment.

Before that. The Japanese government has set up a special committee to select which ports to invest in. In recent years, Japan's port throughput has been increasingly lost due to competition from China, South Korea and Singapore, mainly because the costs of the latter three are usually lower. In addition, Japan's Sony Group, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and others have moved production to China, where wages are lower, which has also affected Japan's port business.

In view of this situation. The port industries of Japan and South Korea are actively responding to launch first-class ports with larger berths and more berths. Therefore, Fan Wubing hopes that he can complete his plan early and get ahead of Japan and South Korea.

Although Wu Fukuan was the governor and had a broad vision, he couldn't help but be a little stunned after hearing Fan Wubing's overall planning. He thought that Fan's courage was big enough, and the port with tens of billions of investments could be built in just a few words. It’s settled, this is tens of billions, not three or two hundred yuan! "
