  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

    China Shenmu-Shuoxian Railway Construction Project (1)-(4) External Evaluator: Yuko Kishino Field Survey: November 2004 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Mongolia North Korea Beijing プロジェクトサイトProject site 秦皇島港Quinhuangdao Shuoxian朔県 塘沽港Tanggu Port 黄カ港Huanghua Port 神木県Shenmu Country South Korea China Shanghai Bhutan Bangladesh Taiwan Myanmar Hong Kong Vietnam Macao Project Site Location Map Shenshuo Railway 1.1 Background In China, people’s living and economic activities heavily rely on coal, which occupies 70% of primary energy production. Coal reserves are distributed mainly over the northwestern part of China, while the major consumption centers are costal cities in Northeastern, Northern, and Eastern China. Therefore, railways play an important role in coal transportation from production areas to demand areas. At the time of appraisal, however, the railway network and transportation capacity was insufficient, and therefore industrial production was restricted in the coal demand areas due to power shortages. In the coal supply areas, coal production was limited and large volumes of coal were left unshipped. The Shenfu Dongsheng Coalfield1 located on the border of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Shaanxi Province is one of the largest coalfields in China with an estimated reserve of 230 billion tons (115 times as much as that of Kushiro Coalfield in Japan). At appraisal time, the only transportation route for coal from this coalfield was the Baoshen Line（Shenmu-Baotou）with an annual transportation capacity of 10 million tons, and therefore coal production was restricted. In order to increase the coal supply to coastal cities, the Chinese Government drew up a plan to develop this coalfield and construct an 850km electrified double-track railway from Shenmu County in Shaanxi Province to the coal shipping port of Huanghua in Hebei Province (as part of the Shenfu Dongsheng Coalfield Development Plan).

This study researched the change in coastline and sea area of the Bohai Sea, China, over a 30-year period using Landsat TM and OLI remote sensing data. The total change in coastline length, sea area, and the centroid of the sea surface were quantified. Variations in the coastline morphology were measured using four shape indexes: fractal dimension, compact ratio, circularity, and square degree. Equations describing fit of the shape index, coastline length, and marine area were built. Then the marine area 10 years later was predicted using the model that had the highest prediction accuracy. The results showed that the highest prediction accuracy for the coastline length was obtained using a compound function. When a cubic function was used to predict the compact ratio, then the highest prediction accuracy was obtained using this compact ratio and a quadratic function to predict sea area.
