乘东博会东风，北港集团展现开放胸怀

黄利霞

自“一带一路”和国际陆海贸易新通道（以下简称“陆海新通道”）建设推进以来，广西北部湾国际港务集团有限公司（以下简称北港集团）始终踏准时代节拍，一路开放发展，并借助中国—东盟博览会（以下简称东博会）的公共平台，向世界展示了自己的风采。

第18届东博会举办在即，本刊记者从中国—东盟博览会秘书处获悉，第18届东博会将继续设置西部陆海新通道专题展示，而北港集团也将借此契机向各界展示开放北港的新风貌、新成果、新亮点。

开启“陆海新通道” 点亮丝路明灯

2019年，西部陆海新通道建设正式上升为国家战略，国家明确提出建设北部湾国际门户港。2021年，中国国务院印发了《国家综合立体交通网规划纲要》，北部湾港规划定位上升，与上海港、深圳港、广州港等10个港口一并列入国际枢纽海港。

如今，钦州铁路集装箱中心站、北海铁山港进港铁路专用线打通了“陆海新通道”海铁联运“最后一公里”，实现重要港区进港铁路全覆盖、海铁联运“无缝衔接”;钦州港东航道实现10万吨级集装箱船通航;钦州港东航道扩建一二期调整工程于2020年7月开工，2021年扩建工程全面提速……目前，北部湾國际门户港航道最大通航能力已达20万吨，30万吨级码头及航道正在加快建设，2022年将实现通航20万吨级集装箱船、30万吨级散货船。

成绩的取得，得益于广西积极打造北部湾国际门户港。近年来，广西加快“陆海新通道”建设，借助东博会平台推进中国—东盟互联互通迎来新机遇。

2017年，“陆海新通道”以“南向通道”的建设打开新局。这一年举行的第14届东博会上，广西、重庆、贵州、甘肃与新加坡五地企业共同按下“合作手印”，五地的标志物在展示台上逐一亮起，展现“南向通道”海、陆、空、网的多维度多式联运格局。

在“南向通道”的建设中，北港集团发挥了重要的作用。2017年5月，西部物流园重庆铁路口岸至广西北部湾港的班列成功试运行，首次实现了“南向通道”的双向贯通。该线全程铁路运行时间在50小时以内，最短用时约36小时，较原有普通铁路运输节省50%以上的时间，较走长江水运路径节省80%以上的时间，展现了其强劲的物流优势。

志合者，不以山海为远。“陆海新通道”这条向北连接丝绸之路经济带、向南连接21世纪海上丝绸之路和中南半岛的经济走廊，将“带”和“路”有机结合起来，让“一带一路”经中国西部地区形成完整的闭环。

共展国际合作硕果

2020年，北港集团签约文莱摩拉渔港项目，这是北港集团与文莱政府在摩拉港项目合作基础上又一个里程碑项目，也是“文莱—广西经济走廊”建设取得的又一新突破。

在“文莱—广西经济走廊”框架下，2017年，北港集团在文莱合资设立摩拉港有限公司，负责摩拉港集装箱码头及散货码头的运营管理，码头作业效率及服务水平显著提高，物流成本逐步降低，摩拉港的区域竞争力显著提升。同年，第14届东博会开幕前一天，文莱苏丹哈桑纳尔·博尔基亚亲临文莱摩拉港展厅，听取了合资公司接管摩拉港集装箱码头半年来的运营情况，以及关于摩拉港新港区和配套产业园的系统性建设、规划方案的介绍。苏丹对摩拉港集装箱码头运营情况表示满意，对新港区规划表示高度认可，并表示希望摩拉港公司尽快把摩拉港打造为区域性枢纽港。

在第14届东博会上，北港集团投资的文莱摩拉港项目和马来西亚—中国关丹产业园区（以下简称关丹园）、关丹港项目一一亮相，集中展示了北港集团融入“一带一路”建设的积极贡献和独特优势。其中，关丹园、关丹港项目还联手中国—马来西亚钦州产业园区（以下简称中马钦州产业园区）开设“两国双园”联合展厅，有力地宣传了园区的投资环境、区位优势、入园政策等。

2019年，关丹园与中马钦州产业园区在第16届东博会上再次携手联袂布展，“两国双园”展位主要以展示“双园”建设发展成果、入园企业风采为主，分区域展示了关丹园、中马钦州产业园区、马来西亚关丹港的最新建设进展及入园项目情况。其中，有8家来自关丹园的企业参展，轮胎制造项目、再生纸生产项目、化肥生产项目等更是带着企业产品走进东博会，共展两国产能合作的丰硕成果。

在中马两国政府的大力支持下，在运营企业的努力耕耘下，“两国双园”建设取得令人瞩目的成就。截至目前，关丹园已开发约8平方公里土地，累计完成投资13亿元人民币，累计签约项目10个，协议投资240亿元人民币，其中已投产项目2个，在建项目2个，落地项目5个，累计完成产业投资约120亿元人民币。分别创造临时及长期就业岗位1.5万个和5000个，带动关丹港新增吞吐量1800万吨。

盛会提供新机遇

一直以来，东博会致力于推动中国与东盟互联互通，连续多年设置西部陆海新通道展区并举办系列贸促活动，为“陆海新通道”建设提供快捷之“道”。2020年疫情冲击下，第17届东博会的西部陆海新通道展区规模不降，中国重庆、青海、贵州等9个省市共组织109家企业参展。北部湾港作为新通道重要的海陆节点，以面积达500平方米的北部湾国际门户港展区在南宁国际会展中心B1展厅首次亮相，北港集团正是其中一道亮丽的风景线。

在第17届东博会签约仪式上，北港集团马来西亚—中国关丹国际物流园项目、亚太冷国际供应链有限公司战略合作、生物质能源项目等三大项目同时签约;特别是与中交集团签署合作框架协议，共同投资建设马来西亚—中国关丹国际物流园，实现了北港集团在海外与央企投资合作的新突破，迈开了优势互补、抱团发展、强强联合的新步伐。

据悉，第18届东博会以“共享陆海新通道新机遇，共建中国—东盟命运共同体”为主题，在西部陆海新通道专题展示的框架下，将设置北部湾国际门户港展区。作为北部湾港的运营企业，北港集团将再次借助东博会的平台展示其面向东盟国家开放合作的成果;展示其奋力赶超、加快升级的巨大发展潜力;展示其紧跟国家发展战略建设好北部湾国际门户港、西部陆海新通道的决心与信心。

鋪展北部湾国际门户港展区的规划蓝图，一艘巨轮如蛟龙出海，吞吐天地，而在水泽升腾下，是广西北部湾的一道道风景，一颗颗璀璨的海上明珠。今年的北部湾国际门户港展区，将全方位展示北部湾国际门户港在智慧港口、海铁联运等方面的成就及远景规划，“蓝色旗舰”再次起航，让我们共同期待！

Taking Advantage of CAEXPO， Beibu Gulf Port Group Embraces for Open Development

Written by Huang Lixia / Translated by Xie Zongming and Chen Zhiying

Since the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative and the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor （hereinafter referred to as “the New Land-Sea Corridor”）， Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group Co.， Ltd. （hereinafter referred to as Beibu Gulf Port Group） has followed the trend of the times to open up and develop. It has also utilized the public platform of the China-ASEAN Expo （hereinafter referred to as the CAEXPO） to show its charms to the world.

With the upcoming 18th CAEXPO， the reporter of the China-ASEAN Panorama Magazine learned from the CAEXPO Secretariat that an exhibition themed the New Land-Sea Corridor will be set in the 18th CAEXPO. At that time， an opening Beibu Gulf Port Group with new features， new achievements and new highlights will be displayed to the world.

New Land-Sea Corridor boosts development of the Belt and Road

In 2019， the construction of the “New Land-Sea Corridor” officially became a national strategy and the state clearly proposed to build Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port. In 2021， Chinas State Council issued the Outline of the National Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Transportation Network Planing. According to the Outline， Beibu Gulf Port was listed as an international hub port together with 10 ports such as Shanghai Port， Shenzhen Port and Guangzhou Port， achieving an improvement in its positioning.

The operation of Qinzhou Railway Container Center Station and the dedicated railway line of Tieshan Port in Beihai marks the completion of the “last-mile” of the New Land-Sea Corridor sea-rail intemodal transport， realizing full coverage of inbound railways in important port areas and “seamless connection”; The Qinzhou Port East Channel is open to 100，000-ton container ships; The Phase I and II Adjustment Project of the East Channel Expansion of Qinzhou Port was started in July 2020 and would be fully accelerated in 2021... At present， the maximum navigation capacity of the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port has reached 200，000 tons， and the construction of 300，000-ton wharves and channels is being accelerated which means the navigation of 200，000-ton container ships and 300，000-ton bulk carriers will be realized in 2022.

These achievements are inseparable from Guangxis efforts in building the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port. In recent years， Guangxi has accelerated the construction of the New Land-Sea Corridor and gained new opportunities to promote China-ASEAN connectivity with the help of the CAEXPO.

In 2017， the construction of Southbound Channel opened a new chapter for the New Land-Sea Corridor. At the 14th CAEXPO， enterprises from Guangxi， Chongqing， Guizhou， Gansu and Singapore jointly pressed the “cooperation fingerprint” on the stage， and the landmarks of the five places in the Southbound Channel lit up one by one， showing a multi-dimensional and multimodal transport pattern of the Southbound Channel integrating sea， land， air and network.

Beibu Gulf Port Group has played an important role in building the Southbound Channel. In May 2017， the train from Chongqing Western Logistics Park to Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port was successfully put into trial operation， realizing the two-way connection of the Southbound Channel for the first time. The whole operation time of the line is less than 50 hours， and the shortest time is about 36 hours， which saves more than 50% of the time compared with the original ordinary railway transportation and more than 80% of the time compared with taking the Yangtze River water transportation route， showing great advantages in logistics.

Those who are like-minded are not far from mountains and seas. The New Land-Sea Corridor links the Silk Road Economic Belt in the north， and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and the China-Indochina Peninsula Economic Corridor in the south. It integrates the “Belt” and “Road”， forming a complete circuit for the Belt and Road through the western China.

“Two Countries， Twin Parks” shows fruitful achievements

In 2020， Beibu Gulf Port Group signed an agreement to operate the Muara Fish Landing Complex， another milestone project based on the cooperation between Beibu Gulf Port Group and Brunei government. Its also another breakthrough in the construction of “Brunei Guangxi Economic Corridor” （BGEC）.

Under the framework of the BGEC， in 2017， Beibu Gulf Port Group jointly established Muara Port Company Sdn Bhd （MPC） in Brunei to be responsible for the operation and management of Muara Port container terminal and bulk cargo terminal. Since then， operation efficiency of the terminal and service level have been significantly improved， the logistics cost has been gradually reduced， and the regional competitiveness of Muara Port has been significantly improved.

In the same year， the day before the opening of the 14th CAEXPO， H.E. Mr. Hassanal Bolkiah， Sultan of Brunei， visited the Brunei Muara Port exhibition hall， and listened to the operation situation of the Port container terminal after taking over by the joint venture for half a year and the systematic construction and planning scheme of the new port area and supporting industrial park in Muara Port. Sudan showed satisfaction to the operation situation of the Port container terminal， highly recognized the planning of the new port area， and hoped that the MPC could build Muara Port into a regional hub port as soon as possible.

In the 14th CAEXPO， Muara Fish Landing Complex invested by Beibu Gulf Port Group， Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park （MCKIP） and Kuantan Port made their presences， highlighting the positive contribution and unique advantages of Beibu Gulf Port Group in integrating into the Belt and Road construction. Among them， MCKIP and Kuantan Port， together with China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park （CMQIP） were displayed in the exhibition hall themed “Two Countries， Twin Parks”， effectively publicizing the investment environment， location advantages and admission policies of the park.

Again in 2019， MCKIP and CMQIP collectively joined in the 16th CAEXPO. The exhibition hall of “Two Countries， Twin Parks” mainly showed the achievement of the two parks construction and introduced the settled enterprises， which offered updated information about the two parks in different aspects. In the exhibition， 8 enterprises settled in MCKIP were exhibited. Enterprises in tire manufacturing， recycled paper manufacturing， and NPK fertilizer manufacturing showed up with their product samples. All this demonstrated the fruitful result of capacity cooperation between China and Malaysia.

Supported by Chinese and Malaysian government and Sustained by the operator companies， the construction of “Two Countries， Twin Parks” has seen remarkable achievements. Up to now， the MCKIP has constructed 8 km2 of lands into use. The accumulated completed investment is RMB 1.3 billion yuan with 10 projects signed in total. The confirmed investment reached RMB 24 billion yuan， including 2 projects in production， 2 projects in construction and 5 projects ready for construction. The accumulated completed industrial investment is about RMB 12 billion yuan. The industrial park has created 15，000 temporary jobs and 5，000 permanent jobs and help increase the throughput of Kuantan Port by 18 million tons.

Grand event provides new opportunities

The CAEXPO has been promoting the connectivity between China and ASEAN as always， setting exhibition halls themed the New Land-Sea Corridor for consecutive years and holding series of trade promotion events， so as to construct the “fast lane” of the corridor. Though challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020， the New Land-Sea Corridor exhibition hall of the 17th CAEXPO was still a bustle. 109 companies from 9 provinces such as Chongqing， Qingdao， and Guizhou showed up in the exhibition. As the gateway of the corridor， the exhibition hall themed Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port was first revealed in the B1 Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Nanning， It took up 500 m2 of space， in which the Beibu Gulf Port Group was one of the attractions.

During the 17th CAEXPO， three highlight projects， namely the Malaysia-China Kuantan International Logistics Park project of Beibu Gulf Port Group， the strategic cooperation project of ApacCold International Supply Chain Limited， and the project about biomass energy were signed. The Framework Agreement on Cooperation signed by the China Communications Construction Co.， Ltd. was also worth mentioning， for it promoted the investment in constructing Malaysia-China Kuantan International Logistics Park， achieving new breakthroughs in receiving investment and cooperation from overseas and state-owned enterprises. It marked the new stage of complementary and mutual beneficial cooperation.

The 18th CAEXPO is themed “Sharing Opportunities Created by the New Land-Sea Corridor， Building the China-ASEAN Community with a Shared Future”. In the themed exhibition of the New Land-Sea Corridor， there will be an exhibition area specially for the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port. As the company operator of the Beibu Gulf Port， Beibu Gulf Port Group will again show the results of their cooperation with ASEAN countries， their potential of stable and fast development， and the determination and confidence in constructing the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port and the New Land-Sea Corridor in accordance with the national strategy for development.

The master plan of the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port exhibition area is slowly unveiled， revealing the scene of giant freighters braving the waves and splitting the tide. Behind the surge and vapor， the Beibu Gulf Port shines like a diamond on the skyline. This years Beibu Gulf Port exhibition will comprehensively show the achievement and long-term planing of the port in terms of constrcuting the intelligent port and sea-rail intermodal transportation. The blue engine roars loud into the ocean. Lets look forward to its new journey. Bon voyage！
