Hainan will "intercept" Singapore?

When it comes to the free trade port, Singapore has to be mentioned. It can become the world's largest port. In addition to its geographical advantages, the establishment of a free trade port and the resulting fully open market structure cannot be underestimated.

According to the development goals set forth in the "Opinions", it will be a matter of time before the Hainan Free Trade Zone and Free Trade Port have an impact on the Port of Singapore.

The free trade port to be built in Hainan may be more open than Hong Kong.

A higher degree of openness means more favorable measures. Hainan will be like a huge magnet, attracting more resources, including logistics resources, to gather and coordinate in Hainan, and then release greater positive energy.

At that time, who will leave the distance and detour to Singapore? This in turn will further promote the prosperity of the Hainan Free Trade Zone and Free Trade Port.

(1) Gather shipping resources. Hainan is located at an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, in the center of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, and has the geographical advantage of being backed by the Greater Bay Area.

However, it must be admitted that, not to mention new additions, compared to the efficient, three-dimensional transportation network, complete logistics infrastructure and distribution service system that has been established in the eastern coastal areas of my country, Hainan still has a lot to do with it. gap.

Take shipping as an example. There are many ports in Hainan, but they are scattered and the channel depth is not enough. It is difficult for ships above 5000 TEU to dock.

The gap also means that Hainan has greater development space and potential in this regard.

Shen Xiaoming, the governor of Hainan Province, stated at the Boao Forum for Asia that Hainan is currently building a pan-South China Sea international trade and shipping hub, vigorously promoting the air and sea connectivity between Hainan and the "Belt and Road" regions, and strive to open 100 in 2 to 3 years. With the above-mentioned international routes, we hope to continue to strengthen cooperation with various island regions in the fields of aviation and shipping, establish a port city cooperation mechanism, and jointly create a smooth, fast, convenient and efficient interconnected transportation network.
