Analysis on the development strategy of sea and railway combined transportation of container in Ningbo Zhoushan Port

Abstract

With the “Belt and Road” initiative, the relationship between various regions and countries has become increasingly close, and container transportation has gradually developed into one of the important modes of cargo transportation. Among them, Sea-rail Combined Transport (SCT) is the most promising logistics transportation method. With the globalization of the world economy and the rapid development, Sea-rail Combined Transport is about to gradually develop into a universal international cargo transportation method. In recent years, in order to ensure that China can become an emerging maritime power, the Ministry of Transport has successively issued many policies to support it, expressly requiring the strengthening of the development of the container Sea-rail Combined Transport port station. Although Zhoushan Port has become one of Chinese important foreign trade ports, today with huge competition pressure, there is still a gap with the predetermined target. How to find the development focus and breakthrough point of Zhoushan Port is to make Ningbo Zhoushan Port’s sea rail inter-modal is an important task for building the strongest brand. In this paper, we discussed the development status of container Sea-rail Combined Transport in Zhoushan Port of Ningbo, and the modified index curve method is used to predict its future traffic demand. At the same time, the necessity and innovation of developing Sea-rail Combined Transport in Zhoushan Port are explored, and corresponding suggestions are put forward to promote the prosperity and development of Zhoushan Port.
