Port of Liuzhou

Abstract The poster is a graphic depiction of the problems that rapid economic development created for the Port of Liuzhou. As the industrial economy of Liuzhou City expanded the port was increasingly unable to keep up with the import and export demands of the Liuzhou foreign trade market. The upgrading of the Port of Liuzhou has become a key factor in supporting the city’s economy and sustaining its growth. This task falls to the Liuzhou Port Administration Office. As is the case everywhere expansion requires both authorization and the adequate appropriation of funds. Since the port is located in the West River Economic Zone, its recent upgrading at the National Development and Strategic Level will greatly facilitate Liuzhou’s efforts to establish a comprehensive bonded zone. The Port of Liuzhou as an inland port faces a unique set of problems that require an integrated approach that involves three essential components: (1) the inland river port, (2) the dry port, and (3) the airport. The poster illustrates the relationships, problems, and prospects of linking these components together to create an integrated port system around a comprehensive bonded zone. Port of Liuzhou Central Washington University Xifang Wang Mentor: Rex Wirth A Survey of Liuzhou City The Introduction of the Port of Liuzhou The port of Liuzhou is a first class inland river port. It is located in Liujiang River, which is a grade Ⅳ channel with a 500 ton traffic capacity. The Port of Liuzhou was officially opened up to the outside world on June 01,1990. It served the import and export goods clearance for the cities of Liuzhou, Laibin, and Hechi. There were two Customs control wharf area in the Port of Liuzhou from 1990 to 2010. Liuzhou Zhegujiang Wharf Control Area It served the goods clearance business in the wet season, which is from April to November. It is the permanent customs control wharf in the port of Liuzhou. The area is 12,000 square meters. The office is 725 square meters, the wear-house is 1800 square meters. It has a 1000 ton container berth, and a 500 ton cargo berth. There is one 40 ton and a 50 ton crane in the control area. The annual capacity in this control area is 0.5 million ton(Liuzhou Municipal Commission of Commerce, 1990). It is located in the downstream of Liujiang River. It served in the dry season, which is from December to March. When the water level goes down in dry season, the boat cannot reach to Liuzhou Zhegujiang Wharf Control Area, which is located in the upstream of Liujiang River. Shuangshi Wharf Control Area would help to serves the goods clearance business for Liuzhou import and export business. Therefore, it was a temporary customs control wharf in the port of Liuzhou. Shuangshi Wharf Control Area was 7,999 square meters. The office was 350 square meters. The annual capacity was 0.15 million ton(Liuzhou Municipal Commission of Commerce, 1990). Wuxuan Shuangshi Wharf Control Area In 2010, according to the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China's No. 171 Order, Shuangshi Wharf Control Area was disqualified by Nanning Customs because there was no electronic monitoring system, wagon balance, and warehouse in this control area. Therefore, Zhegujiang Wharf Control Area become the only customs control area in the port of Liuzhou. The Problem that the Port of Liuzhou Confront With Zhegujiang Wharf Control Area The first problem is that the working zone is too small, only 12,000 square meters. And there is a flood bank behind it. Therefore, it is difficult for it to expand. The second problem is that there is a railway culvert in the way of the enter and exit zone. It often causes traffic jams. The third problem is that Liuzhou Zhegujiang Wharf is a wharf for domestic trade and foreign trade. It increases the difficulty of supervising the working zone for customs. The fourth problem is that since Shuangshi Wharf Control Area was disqualified by customs supervision, there is no wharf to serve Liuzhou Port in the dry season. Hence, Liuzhou Port cannot serve the import and export business in Liuzhou in the dry season. The fifth problem is that with the increase of the foreign trade value in Liuzhou, Zhegujiang Wharf Control Area is oversaturated.

The functions of the comprehensive bonded zone are providing warehouse logistics, foreign trade, international purchase, allocation and distribution, international transit, testing and after-sales services, product display, research and development, processing, manufacturing, and port services. It is a special area with the highest level of openness, the most preferential policies, and the most simplified procedures in current mainland China. Supported by the National Development and Strategic of West River Economic Zone, the strong industrial economy, and the developed transportation network, the port of Liuzhou will be upgraded into an integrated port and comprehensive bonded zone. The Opportunity for the Port of Liuzhou In the year of 2014, the State Council approved the upgrading of the West River Economic Zone. West River is an important river channel in China. It is west of Yunnan and Guizhou, east of Guangzhou, Hongkong and Macao and runs through Guangxi. The region covered by West River is the West River Economy Zone. National Strategy is a developed plan for a country. Plans for the zone are part of a national strategy proposed by the highest level leaders of the country, and approved by the highest authority. Once the project was upgraded in the national strategy, it became eligible for funding support from the national government. Liuzhou, as the leading city in the West River Economic Zone, is the nearest and strongest industrial city and the transportation hub which links the Chinese southwest, mid-south, southern part of China, and Southeast Asia. The upgrading of the West River Economic Zone at the National Development and Strategic Level greatly facilitates Liuzhou’s efforts to develop the port of Liuzhou.
