Abstract
Nowadays, Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been prosperous for a long time and brings plenty of opportunities to every aspect of China. As a coastal province with lots of port resources, Shandong province has implemented port integration, and there are some operation problems arising, too. In order to make the seaports and dry port reach their full potential, it is very crucial to explore the evolution trend of the ports, which can offer more chances for future development. Based on related theory, this article analyses the evolution of seaports and dry ports in Shandong Province, combined with the background of BRI. After showing the trend of port evolution, this paper points out the co-evolution mechanism of seaports and dry ports and describe a dry port-seaport logistics network in Shandong Province, which results from the mutual influence of seaports and dry ports. Finally, considering the influence of the BRI, this article points out that Shandong Province should take the inland cities as the basis and consider the various costs of the ports to fully take part in the Belt and Road Initiative, when constructing a logistics network.
Highlights
In order to build a moderately prosperous society, China has actively promoted common development and prosperity with all countries in the world
This paper deeply analyses the reasons for the formation of the dry port-seaport logistics network and points out the new features brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative
Mechanism analysis of evolution is used to study the relationship between the Belt and Road Initiative and evolution process of the seaport and dry port
Summary
In order to build a moderately prosperous society, China has actively promoted common development and prosperity with all countries in the world It has been eight years since the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which has become the widest and largest international cooperation platform, and fruitful results have been achieved from concept to action. This paper focuses on the evolution relationship between seaports in Shandong Province and the dry ports in the inland cities. To further explore the evolution relationship between seaports in Shandong Province and the dry ports in the inland cities, the paper will make a comparative analysis of Shandong dry port affected by Belt or Road. “Port evolution mechanism” section analyses the evolution of the seaport in Shandong Province, and shows the information about the dry port development in China. “Conclusion” section gives conclusion and the key findings
