玉林+北海：陆海联动 打通南部出海新通道

□ 文/吕俊芬

广西东南部的玉林市龙潭产业园区里，国家级废钢配送中心、中国南方不锈钢深加工基地以及国家级结晶硫酸镍生产基地等正在蓬勃发展；广西北部湾东北岸的北海市铁山东港产业园里，高端装备制造业、临港重化工业下游产业、海洋经济、现代服务业等六大产业呈现欣欣向荣的发展态势。

2017年4月24日，广西壮族自治区人民政府批复同意设立广西北部湾经济区龙港新区。根据批复，该新区的规划范围涵盖北海市合浦县、玉林市博白县，采取“一区两园”的建设模式，包括北海铁山东港产业园、玉林龙潭产业园。这是广西北部湾首个跨市合作园区，总定位为广西南部重要的出海新通道，北部湾临港产业新城，广西—香港合作的先行示范区，环北部湾发展新增长极。

玉林：面朝大海 风帆劲

北海市与玉林市是“亲兄弟”，同是广西北部湾经济区开放开发城市。广西北部湾经济区龙港新区的批复意味着，玉林市将与北海市“亲上加亲”，玉林市也将正式打通出海通道，它“通江达海”的梦想近在眼前。

近年来，玉林市大力实施“东靠南下、通江达海”的开放构想，在融入“一带一路”建设中取得了一定成效，但也存在一些不足。比如，向海发展意识不强、产业基础薄弱、基础设施不完善、对外贸易规模小、开放程度低等等，是广西北部湾经济区中唯一没有海关、口岸、保税区，现代综合交通体系尚未形成的城市。

一直以来，从家门口出海，是玉林市的一个梦想。当地的机械制造、中药材、陶瓷、服装皮革等产业作为广西具有突出优势的产业，却因为货运时间长、成本高等因素，大量“玉林制造”不走广西港，而是选择公路远赴广东等地出海。

玉林市委书记莫恭明表示，必须正视这些问题，着力打破内陆思维，要以向海发展的意识，谋划融入“一带一路”建设，加快由内陆开放型向临海开放型转变、由腹地经济向临海经济转变、由内陆城市向临海城市转变，形成向海开放发展新格局。

现如今，有需求、有产业基础、有巨大潜力的玉林市将依托龙港新区的临海优势，大大缩短海运和陆运距离，通江达海、陆海联动的南向大通道初现雏形。

玉林市龙潭产业园是玉林临海产业的主要集聚地，也是玉林融入北部湾经济区的主要载体。经过多年的发展，目前，龙潭产业园签约进驻企业36家、总投资250亿元，初步形成了新材料、再生资源加工利用两大产业齐头并驱的格局。该产业园已打造出国家级废钢配送中心、中国南方不锈钢深加工基地以及国家级结晶硫酸镍生产基地等。

走进龙潭产业园，只见一片片丘陵变为平地，一条条宽敞笔直的道路四通八达，一座座现代化的厂房拔地而起。“龙潭进口再生资源加工利用园区已通过考核验收，成为中国国内第一个口岸调往内地转检的再生资源园区。”龙潭产业园工委书记黄维说道。

当前，借着龙港新区的重大机遇，玉林市正按照“产港城”一体化的发展理念，坚持以港促产、以港兴城、港以城兴、港城共荣，全面推进龙潭产业园建设，加快打造成为北部湾新增长极、“双核驱动”新平台，成为北部湾新兴临港工业基地、北部湾生态滨海新城和广西北部湾经济区铁山港（龙潭）组团现代服务中心。

北海：以海带陆 走“向海之路”

一直以来，北海市与玉林市的交流合作广泛密切，如今两市团结合作，联手实施“一区两园”建设，使得龙港新区开放开发进一步提速。

广西北部湾港与东盟国家的47个港口建立海上运输往来，并开通内外贸航线44条，与世界100多个国家和地区、200多个港口通航，基本实现了东南亚、东北亚地区主要港口的全覆盖，而北海市则是其中的重要支点城市。近几年，北海市“向海经济”格局凸显，陆续引进了斯道拉恩索北海林纸一体化项目、中石化炼化项目等大项目，建立起了电子信息、石油化工、临港新材料3大千亿元产业。正在兴建的龙港新区，正助力北海、玉林两市发挥自身优势，携手成为广西北部湾畔两颗耀眼的明珠。

北海铁山东港产业园位于广西北海市合浦县白沙镇，毗邻广东省、海南省，背靠大西南，面向东南亚，处于华南经济圈、西南经济圈和东盟经济圈的枢纽地带，具有优越的区位优势。2017年4月，中国国家主席习近平到北海市铁山港公用码头考察调研时就指出，北海铁山港有区位优势，发展前景广阔，将来是北部湾经济区一个重要依托。

铁山东港产业园具备良好的发展条件，在地理区位、海陆运输、基础设施、政务服务等方面都具有明显的优势。借助北海市的区位、产业等优势，它无疑是玉林市发展向海经济、融入“一带一路”的好伙伴。

目前，铁山东港产业园遵循“一港一路、一区两园”整体规划，按照统一协调、分片开发、循序渐进的原则，抓紧推进龙港新区的规划建设，全力推进各项工作。相关规划编制工作的开展正有序进行，各项基础设施建设稳步推进，在铁山东港产业园落户的2个产业项目正在进行前期工作。

据悉，龙港新区是铁山港（龙潭）组团的核心部分，新区的开发建设不仅是落实国家“三大定位”、广西“双核驱动”规划的重大举措，也是经济区衔接珠江—西江经济带、推动向东开放的重要布局；未来对于打通玉林出海通道、促进玉林和北海协同发展，进一步推动经济区东翼升级发展，具有重要意义。

向海经济风正劲，一幅龙港新区的新蓝图正在广西北部湾畔浓墨重彩地勾勒着，释放无限潜力。不难看出，玉林的巨大生产力可通过龙港新区建设得到更大释放，北海铁山港的生产力可通过玉林力量的注入也得到更大发挥，两股力量共同开发建设好龙港新区，将为广西深入实施“双核驱动”发展规划作出更大贡献。

Longtan Imported Renewable Resources Processing and Utilization Park located in Yulin, Guangxi

On April 24, 2017, the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, P.R.C.officially approved the application of setting up Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone Longtan-Tieshan Donggang New Area (LTDNA), which covers Beihai’s Hepu county and Yulin’ Bobai county as planned. The construction model “One Area, Two Parks”, the first intercity cooperation project within Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone (GBGEZ), is being implemented by both Beihai Tieshan Donggang Industrial Park (BTDIP) and Yulin Longtan Industrial Park (YLIP), in an attempt to build a new land access to the sea in the south of Guangxi,a new port-centered industrial area in GBGEZ, a pilot demonstration area for cooperation between Guangxi and Hong Kong (China), as well as a new economic growth pole in Beibu Gulf rim.

Yulin: Building sea-centered projects

Over the years, Yulin has obtained benefits from not only implementing the its opening-up strategy but also pursuing the Belt and Road Initiative, but there are still some deficiencies, such as undeveloped maritime economy, weak industrial foundations, incomplete infrastructure construction, small foreign trade scale, and low degree of opening up. In addition, it is the sole city in GBGEZ that lacks customs, port, bonded area, as well as a modern comprehensive transportation network.

The local businesses have always dreamed of selling their products to the outside world via a sea route starting from the doorways of their homes. Though prominent in the development of local industries including machinery manufacturing, Chinese medicinal materials, ceramics,garments and leather, a mass of Yulin-made products have to be delivered to ports in Guangdong province by land, and then exported to the outside world, owing to the prolonged, high-cost freight transport.

Mr. Mo Gongming, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Yulin, stated that we must face up to the existing deficiencies and create a sea-centered, open development pattern by raising the awareness of maritime economy, engaging in the Belt and Road construction, etc.Considering that LTDNA is geographically close to the sea, Yulin is working to greatly shorten the transportation distances of land and sea routes. Now, the initial project of the southward access connecting land and sea routes has been finished.

YLIP is not only a major base for sea-centered industries of Yulin, but also a crucial carrier to make Yulin integrated with GBGEZ. Thanks to years of development, a total of 36 enterprises have entered this park, with a total investment of RMB 25 billion yuan, initially forming a balanced development pattern of processing and utilizing advanced materials and renewable resources. Now, a range of major projects, including a national-level scrap steel distribution center, China Southern Stainless Steel Deepprocessing Base, and a national-level crystal nickel sulfate manufacturing base, have been completed in this park.

“After passing the required check and acceptance, Longtan Imported Renewable Resources Processing and Utilization Park has become the first inland port of its kind that can handle the customs inspection procedures in China,” said Mr. Huang Wei, secretary of Longtan Industrial Park Working Committee.

Beihai: Developing maritime economy integrating sea and land routes

Beihai is one of key fulcrum cities of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port, which has forged marine-transport ties with 47 ports in ASEAN countries, and has opened 44 shipping routes of domestic and foreign trade towards over 200 ports in more than 100 countries and regions. In recent years, Beihai has successively introduced many largescale projects, including Stora Enso Beihai Mill (a forestpaper integration project) and Sinopec refining project,with three 100-billion-yuan industrial projects (namely,electric information industry, petrochemical industry and port-centered new materials industry) completed, making maritime economy more prominent than before. Now,Beihai is committed to building LTDNA, and is expected to give full play to the advantages of Beihai itself and Yulin.BTDIP, located in Baisha town, Hepu county, Beihai city,Guangxi, has exceptional regional advantages: adjacent to Guangdong and Hainan provinces, backed by the southwest China, oriented towards Southeast Asia, and situated at the intersection of economic circles of South China, Southwest China and ASEAN. Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that Beihai’s Tieshan Harbor, with regional advantages and a promising future, will evolve into an important supporting force of GBGEZ, when conducting a facts-finding visit to the wharf for public use in April 2017.BTDIP has favorable development advantages in terms of geographical location, sea and land transport routes,infrastructure projects, and public service; meanwhile,Beihai is comparatively competitive in its location and industries. All this provides a good opportunity for Yulin to develop maritime economy and engage in the Belt and Road construction.

At present, the planning for BTDIP is being formulated in an orderly manner, the construction of relevant infrastructure projects being advanced steadily, and the preliminary work for two industrial projects in the park being carried out.

Building LTDNA is regarded as not only a major initiative of implementing Guangxi’s “three orientations” (an international passage, a strategic fulcrum and an important gateway) proposed by the central government and “dualcore development strategy” (GBGEZ and Xijiang River Economic Belt) formulated by the Guangxi government,but also a significant layout of making GBGEZ linked with the Pearl River-Xijiang River Economic Belt and facilitating the eastwards opening up; furthermore, it will be crucial for the completion of Yulin’s land access to the sea, the coordinated development of Yulin and Beihai, as well as the further upgrading of GBGEZ’s eastern area.
