Chemical industry and port linkage development

The rapid economic growth of China has ushered the country into an era dominated by heavy chemical industries, significantly increasing freight demand. This surge is particularly evident in foreign trade logistics, long-distance and high-volume transportation, cross-regional energy supply, and the movement of basic raw materials. The development of heavy chemical industries demands robust transportation infrastructure, placing higher expectations on ports, vessels, petrochemical enterprises, and regulatory frameworks. **Five Major Port Groups Enter Strategic Planning** In August 2006, the State Council approved the "National Coastal Port Layout Plan," aiming to optimize port distribution across key coastal regions. The plan identifies five major port groups: the Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta, Southeast Coast, Pearl River Delta, and Southwest Coast. These areas are critical for handling crude oil, refined oil, and chemical products. The Bohai Rim group includes Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian, with Qinhuangdao and Jinzhou playing complementary roles. The Yangtze River Delta centers around Ningbo and Zhoushan, while Shanghai, Nanjing, and Jiaxing form essential parts of the network. The Pearl River Delta includes Guangzhou, Maoming, Zhanjiang, and other key ports. **Regulatory Frameworks Continue to Evolve** China joined the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods in 1988, prompting the Ministry of Communications to develop key standards such as the "Dangerous Goods Classification and Name Number" and "Dangerous Goods List." These measures aligned China’s dangerous goods management with international norms. Current revisions to the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Dangerous Chemicals" may adjust restrictions on transporting highly toxic chemicals in inland waterways. Additionally, China will fully implement the UN's "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals." **Collaboration Between Hong Kong and Local Enterprises** Port and petrochemical companies are working together to expand large-scale oil and chemical terminals. Coastal ports are investing in infrastructure to enhance throughput capacity, aligning with national plans. For example, the Bohai Rim has seen significant developments, including a 500,000-ton crude oil terminal planned with UK and US partners. Qingdao and Caofeidian have also launched major projects. In the Yangtze River Delta, Sinopec and Ningbo Port are upgrading channels to accommodate 300,000-ton tankers. Zhenhai Refining & Chemical is building two 300,000-ton docks and large storage facilities. In the Pearl River Delta, Guangdong’s petrochemical industry is expanding rapidly, with Beihai Port preparing for large-scale oil projects. Other ports like Zhoushan, Maoming, Zhanjiang, and Jinzhou are also advancing their oil and chemical terminal projects. As competition intensifies, ports such as Rizhao, Tianjin, and Caofeidian are joining the race, signaling a new phase of development in China’s port industry.
