Thursday September 4 9:02 PM

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/54e9c2/market_research_re) has announced the addition of the "Market Research Report of China's Port Industry, 2008" report to their offering.

In the whole year of 2007, the cargo throughput of Chinas ports amounted to 6.41 billion tons, and the container throughput reached 114 million TEU. In the same year, the passenger throughput of the ports increased to 206 million people.

The cargo throughput and container throughput of Chinas ports have remained first among the world's nations for four years. China has accounted for nearly 1/4 of the world's container throughput. It already has 14 large-scale ports, with a throughput of at least a hundred million tons.

In 2007, coal, oil, metal ores, construction materials, steel, and machinery equipment are the main transported goods, which occupied nearly 70% of the total freight. However, the growth rates of cargo species differentiated. The growth rates of coal, steel, machinery and equipment got close to or higher than 20% or more. Relatively, oil and mine construction materials grew slowly, with a growth rate below 5%. In energy fields, industrial raw materials obtained rapid growth -- mainly in the North, with its heavy chemical industry. Northern ports like Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yingkou, Qingdao and Rizhao Port, are becoming the fastest-growing ports, with a growth rate is close to or over 20%. The growth rate of the southern ports, however, was below that average.

Strong import and export trade has increased the demand for coastal ports, leading to significantly higher investment in coastal port construction than that of inland river ports, and larger construction projects on coastal ports. The larger ports - ports that take in more than 10,000 tons at a time - are mostly coastal ports.

At present, the main features of Chinas port industry reflect more intense competition between ports and a trend towards "cluster developing." Most ports have developed in three major clusters along China's coast from south to north: the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bays. The expanded development of coastal ports has created both greater competition and greater cooperation between ports, as old monopolies have weakened. Thus, in order to take better advantage of the improvement of the maritime industry and deal with the fierce competition, there has been a trend towards mergers and reorganizations between ports.
