With the rapid development of global shipping, China also pays more and more attention to marine interests, and has determined the strategy of developing the ocean. Now it no longer chooses to keep a low profile! With a huge investment of 70 billion yuan, it will build the world's largest port, which is Shanghai Yangshan port. As a result, the port is still in the planning stage. Singapore is in a hurry and calls for losing its job, because once the port is fully completed, Singapore's annual loss will be as high as hundreds of billions. But does China need the consent of other countries to build a port on its own territory? So this time, we don't look at Singapore's face directly. Now Shanghai Yangshan Port has been fully completed and has become the world's largest port worthy of the name.

Singapore, as a port city, relies on the Strait of Malacca to provide it with a lot of development opportunities. Therefore, Singapore port has long occupied the first position in the global container throughput until the emergence of Shanghai Yangshan port. Compared with other transportation modes, marine transportation has the advantages of large carrying capacity and low price, and the cross ocean transportation of some super large goods can only be completed by sea, As a manufacturing power, while developing the "going global" strategy, China naturally needs to ensure that there are enough domestic ports to meet commodity exports and raw material imports.

In fact, not far from Yangshan Port in Shanghai, there is Ningbo Zhoushan port, the third largest port in the world and the second largest port in China. In that case, why didn't China choose to upgrade Zhoushan port and rebuild a Yangshan Port? First of all, although Shanghai and Zhejiang are very close, they are two different administrative regions. If Shanghai wants to use Zhoushan port, the formalities are more troublesome. Second, as an international metropolis, Shanghai should also have its own large-scale modern port, so it finally chose to plan this Yangshan port on the big and small Yangshan islands of Zhoushan.

There are certain considerations in choosing Xiaoyangshan island and Xiaoyangshan island as the site of the port. Firstly, there are good water depth conditions here. After all, the berthing of large ships must have sufficient port depth, otherwise it is easy to be unable to enter the port or run aground. Secondly, the water area where the port is located has strong water flow, which can effectively avoid sediment deposition. If the water flow is slow, it will lead to channel blockage, It costs a lot of money to clean the channel every year. Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, Yangshan island will be preferred as the port site.

Yangshan port is not only the largest port in the world, with an annual throughput of more than the sum of all ports in the United States, but also the most intelligent and modern port in the world. You can believe that such a huge port can operate efficiently with only 10 managers. The port has been fully automated. Containers can be loaded and unloaded by unmanned port machines, and all containers are transported by unmanned vehicles, And all the work is carried out in a very orderly manner. It can be said that Shanghai Yangshan Port has become a model for the construction of subsequent large ports in various countries.

Shanghai Yangshan port is only a typical representative of large domestic ports. China now occupies seven of the top 10 ports in the world, and China's port construction is far from over. With the in-depth development of manufacturing industry, the world is buying products made in China. At the same time, as Chinese enterprises obtain more and more development rights of foreign oil and mineral resources, the status of shipping will rise again, Therefore, the Chinese ports represented by Shanghai Yangshan Port will play an inestimable role in the development of the world economy.
