China to add 12 Billion tones of additional port capacity under the 12th 5 year Plan.

For China's port sector, the largest port projects were planned in the four years from 2006 to 2010, but will the pace of port developments slow down under the 12th 5 year plan?

Why don’t you judge for yourself:

  • The Chinese government plans to add approximately 12 billion tonnes of additional capacity by 2016.
  • The scale of new constructions will still be quite big for coal, oil, and minerals handling terminals.
  • Established ports like Shanghai are shifting towards offering financial and trade services for the shipping sector.
  • There will be development of “inner water” ports along the Pearl and Yangtze rivers. The government has already announced a US$2.8 billion project to deepen the Yangtze River to allow vessels of up to 50,000 dwt to sail up to Nanjing port.

While the Chinese government has several plans to build new ports, the boom in domestic trade after China’s massive US$600 billion stimulus plan, has led to a fundamental shift in the focus of port developments under the 12th 5 year plan.

The focus is now on using ports as a tool for further economic development in China’s cities. At the beginning of 2011, every coastal city and even some inland cities released ambitious plans to further explore their waterfront resource and build new terminals and berths as a part of their own 12th 5-year plan.

In Short, the Chinese port market is HOT in 2011.

China’s Ports are now being developed more intelligently, to support industry clusters, city development, or to co-locate with rail routes and major highways to improve the overall transportation infrastructure inland. And this year, the Chinese government is actively courting port planning experts from all over the world to fulfill their ambitious port plans.

Senior Chinese port officials are convening in Shanghai on 16-17 August 2011.

You read that right! China’s most influential port officials have confirmed their participation at IQPC’s Port Planning & Design China conference, meeting in Shanghai from 16-17 August. Take these 2 days off to get the latest new project requirements, and more critically, establish links with key project decision makers, ahead of your competitors.

But that’s not all! The Port Planning & Design China conference will also showcase in-depth cases from Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Macau and Taiwan on the planning and design principles required in constructing and developing a fully functioning port from a Greenfield, existing site or an expansion on a current operational port, offering you more insights on how to tackle your next port project in China.

Key Takeaways you can expect from the Port Planning & Design China Conference.

  • Developing Ports in China to attract trade – what kind of equipment, depth, and design will be needed?
  • An insider’s view into China’s master plan to optimize the transportation system connecting road and rail to the ports.
  • A list of key considerations necessary for port expansions including waterway design.
  • In-Depth understanding of what will affect the long term durability and viability of a new/expanded facility.
  • The latest port planning techniques and potential application to the Chinese scenario.
  • Key tips on Stakeholder / project management specific to maritime / port developments.
  • The latest innovations in Port design methodologies, Port optimization and functionality.
