1 thought on “In the ocean economy era, who is "dark horse”

  1. As one of the earliest open ports in Japan, Yokohama is no longer a port city where ships are frequent. In order to develop coastal tourism, the "Future Port 21 Plan" was launched locally, and it was transformed into a high -rise and unique international metropolis, which attracted a large number of tourists to visit. In the San Francisco and the New York Bay Area, the California Highway 1 and the Port of New York, which are crossing the mountains and the sea, have already become the hottest "check -in" attractions on the tourist list in the United States.
    For the three Greater Bay Area, which has more than 80%of the service industry, it has gone through the budding period that has been promoted in Hong Kong and has completed the transition from the industrial economy to the service economy and innovation economy. The coastal tourism and leisure industry and marine high -tech industries have gradually replaced the traditional ports, maritime transportation and shipping industries, and build a new type of marine industry system.
    "The 21st century is the marine century." In the past 500 years, the vast sea area has once again become an important arena in various countries. In this new century's marine economy competition, what kind of experience can the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, which can strive to marine economy? Who is the fastest "dark horse" in the emerging marine economy industry?
    In the mark of the Lingang Industrial Age
    The July this year, in order to cope with the strong near neighbors of the transportation volume, the competition of Busan Port, South Korea, the Japanese government promulgated a new logistics improvement policy for Beijing Port (Tokyo Port (Tokyo , Yokohama) and Hanshin Port (Osaka, Kobe) have specially established two semi -official semi -private companies -Yokohaibangchuanzaki International Harbor Co., Ltd. and Hanshin International Harbor Co., Ltd. to improve logistics and improve efficiency.
    "Japan is surrounded by the sea, and the land resources are scarce, so the clear division of labor between the ports is particularly important, and the administrative department requires the top -level planning." Also tell reporters.
    In many years of development, the Tokyo Bay Port Group has formed a clear functional division of labor system. Chiba is in the port of raw material, Yokohama specializes in foreign trade, Tokyo is mainly engaged in domestic trade, and Kawasaki sends raw materials and finished products for enterprises. Although the ports are independent, each has its own industrial functions, and it is closely linked to each other, forming a whole in the foreign competition. The annual throughput of Tokyo Port is 40 million tons. It is distributed around it with 5 ports of Kawasaki Port, Yokohama Port, Yokosuka Port, Mujinjin Port, and Chiba Port. The annual throughput reaches 500 million tons.
    But in recent years, the world rankings of the two ports of Tokyo and Yokohama have retreated. In 1997, the two ports of Yokohama and Tokyo still ranked 13th and 14th in the world port ranking. By 2016, Tokyo Port and Yokohama Port had fallen to 31 or 57. The port groups of the other two Bay Area also performed mediocre. Among them, New York Port ranks 22nd in the world with the throughput of 6.25 million standard boxes, and the Port Oakland Port in the San Francisco Bay Area ranks 70, and the throughput is only 2.28 million.
    The in contrast to it, in the Pearl River estuary watershed in the stars of the stars of the wharf, together with Hong Kong, the container throughput of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area exceeds 70 million standard boxes, which is a well -deserved world -class port group. The top 100 World Container Port Port in the British "Lawli Daily" shows that among the top ten ports in the world, China has accounted for seven seats, of which Shenzhen, Hong Kong Port, and Guangzhou Port are ranked third, sixth, and seven, respectively.
    Is this means that the port group of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area occupies an absolute advantage? Mao Yanhua, executive vice president of the Academia Institute of Sun Yat -sen University, believes that the main reason is that the development stage of the Greater Bay Area is different.
    Mao Yanhua pointed out that the Bay Area is prosperous due to Hong Kong, and has experienced the development stage of shipping from ports -the industrial economy -service industry -the development of an innovation economy. However, unlike those small economies that focus on re -export trade, with the transfer of manufacturing to surrounding and the rise of the high -end service industry, the reduction of the basic shipping industry is an inevitable trend. At present, the three major bay areas have completed this transformation. The tertiary industries in New York, Tokyo, and San Francisco Bay Area have reached 89%, 83%, and 82%, respectively.
    It is still not difficult to find the profound marking in the era of port economy. In the famous Jack London Plaza in Oakland, San Francisco Bay, tourists can watch the scene of a large container boat that is less than 50 meters away from the window at the table, and see the busy Port Port Port of Oakland.
    trend of development towards sea
    At present, the Bay Area economy, as an important coastal economic form, has become increasingly increasing in the world economic pattern.
    In statistics, 21 of the 33 super -large cities around the world are located in the coastal areas. It is estimated that by 2020, the population of the world's coastal areas will reach 75 % of the total population, and the world's tourism income will rely on the ocean. The competitiveness of countries around the world depends on the core competitiveness of coastal areas, especially the coastal metropolis.
    The reason why Japan, which has a small land area can develop into the third largest economy in the world, is due to the development of the sea. Since the 1960s, the Japanese government has gradually shifted the focus of economic development from heavy industries and chemical industries to the development of marine and developing marine industries. The modern marine economic structure is relying on large ports to further broaden economic hinterland.
    "The development of high -end service industries relying on ports is a major feature of the rise of the Tokyo Bay Area Economic Belt." Said Marukawa Professor Marukawa, a professor of the University of Tokyo, said that the local government actively guided investment and financing to the port service industry and encouraged to accelerate the central city of Tokyo Bay Area. The development of the tertiary industry.
    Mimukawa Koshio pointed out that the private system in Japan has made it difficult for government planning to fully implement it. Therefore, from the Edo period, Tokyo Bay has been reclaiming land. At present, most of the land in Tokyo Port areas is made from reclamation.
    It is also one of the earliest countries to conduct research on marine economy -related theories and methods. In 1999, the United States established the National Advisory Committee of the National Ocean Economic Plan and implemented the "National Ocean Economic Plan". Data show that 80%of the US economy's GDP is driven by the coastal area, and more than 40%is driven from the coastline.
    The San Francisco Bay Area, which is famous for its high -tech industry, has a number of research centers such as aerospace, new energy, biomedicine. Leading the forefront of science and technology in more than 20 industries including marine biomedicine and marine new energy. However, few people noticed that the output value of Binhai tourism has accounted for 81.5%of the total output value of the marine economy in the San Francisco Bay Area.
    The sunny weekend afternoon, in the famous CrisSy Field Center in San Francisco, tourists with different skin colors rest on the lawn, pet dogs chase and play, bicycle enthusiasts whistled from him, in the distance, in the distance, You can see the figure of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the sailing boat of the stars floats on the sea. If you are lucky, you can also meet a newcomer to take wedding photos by the sea.
    Cynthia Kroll, chief economist of the San Francisco Bay Area Government Alliance, said: "When the natural environment is beautiful enough and provides a variety of leisure choices and entertainment facilities, people can attract people from all over the world to travel. This allows us The bay area is full of vitality. "
