Burden on world trade Freighters back up off southern China

As of: 21.06.2021 8:59 a.m.

The container ships are stowed in the fourth largest port in the world. The reason is a corona outbreak in Shenzhen-Yantian. The international movement of goods is impaired – possibly until the end of the year.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The congestion of the container ships off southern China is worse than that Blockade of the Suez Canal in March This is how Vincent Clerc, manager of the Danish shipping company Maersk, summed it up in a conversation with journalists in mid-June. At times, around 130 container ships from all over the world were anchored off the port of Shenzhen-Yantian, as reported by the Bloomberg news agency.

Weeks-long consequences for world trade

The reason for the traffic jam is a new – albeit small – corona outbreak in the southern Chinese part of Guangdong, where Shenzhen is located. Because the local authorities ordered the port of Shenzhen to be partially closed due to the corona, ships could not dock and cast off. Supply chains worldwide are out of step. German companies in the Guangdong region are also reporting that department stores are sometimes overcrowded. In the meantime, the situation in Guangdong has normalized, but weeks will pass before the backlog has completely cleared, estimates Nick Marro, an analyst for world trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in Hong Kong. The backlog will therefore continue for weeks through the global supply chains.

Traffic jam in the fourth largest port in the world

Shenzhen-Yantian is the fourth largest container port in the world; Last year more than 27 million standard containers (TEU) were handled there. For comparison: In Hamburg there were fewer than nine million containers in 2020, i.e. around a third of them.

The logistics delays are a problem especially for the tech and electronics industry: around 90 percent of all electronics exports from China go through the port of Shenzhen-Yantian. Analyst Nick Marro expects the situation to remain tense, given the global openings after the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Relaxation probably only towards the end of the year

“There is no sign of an end to global consumer demand for goods and products. In many western countries, stocks are usually replenished in the third quarter of the year, which continues to ensure high trading activity,” says Marro. “This suggests that the tensions in global logistics and at the ports will not ease until the fourth quarter of the year.” In China, almost no reports are made of the container ship congestion in front of the port of Shenzhen-Yantian

Transporting anchovies from the boat to the truck at the back yard of Mui Ne, Binh Thuan province Fisherman Tran Van Dat, who specializes in anchovies, is with his boatmates moving nearly 1 ton of anchovies to shore. Inside, traders and transport vehicles are waiting. Mr. Dat said that in the past 10 days, anchovies were abundant throughout the sea of ​​Mui Ne, so not only he but also many friends’ boats had a good harvest. “This is the 3rd trip in the men’s season.

Increasing influence How China is entering Europe’s ports

Status: 10.06.2021 12:33 p.m.

Piraeus, Rotterdam, Antwerp and soon possibly also Hamburg – China has its own terminals in 14 European ports or holds shares in port operators. Critics warn of the consequences of the urge to expand. From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de The listed Hamburg port operator HHLA is currently negotiating with the Chinese state shipping company Cosco about a possible participation in one of its container terminals – with the telling name of Tollerort. HHLA recently announced that a legally binding agreement has not yet been reached. However, the publication of such a release indicates that the talks are on the home stretch. Trade with China is by far the most important business for the third largest European seaport. Ships of the Chinese shipping company Cosco have been calling at Hamburg for almost 40 years. Two years ago, China’s Vice President Wang Qishan also visited the Tollerort terminal. With its four berths on a quay wall a good kilometer long, 14 container cranes and a five-track rail connection, Tollerort is one of a total of four container terminals in the Port of Hamburg and the second largest at HHLA.

Important loophole

According to experts, by entering Hamburg, China would close the largest gap in its maritime Silk Road. Even more: through a partnership with HHLA, Cosco could also get privileged access to the Italian Adriatic port of Trieste. The Hamburg port operator had taken over the majority in a new terminal there last year – with the express approval of the government in Rome, which wanted to block the way for the Chinese who were also interested. Because a majority stake by Cosco in the largest container terminal in Trieste would have been tantamount to a sell-out from the perspective of the Italians. Now the Chinese could still gain access to Trieste via Hamburg. That would be a decisive move in Beijing’s expansion strategy, since Trieste is the northernmost port in the Mediterranean and therefore particularly important for Central and Eastern Europe. HHLA is also involved in terminals in the Ukraine and Estonia.

“Loss of Sovereignty”

Cosco and its sister company China Merchant already have their own terminals in a total of 14 European ports – or at least shares in the port operators. All the major seaports on the continent are included, from Rotterdam and Antwerp to Le Havre, Bilbao, Genoa, Valencia and Marseille. According to calculations by US experts, more than two thirds of the 50 largest container terminals in the world are already controlled by the Chinese or at least supported by holdings. “Europe has thus lost some of its sovereignty,” complained the former French Prime Minister and China expert, Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The sell-off began in 2016 when Greece, which was practically bankrupt at the time, was forced by the troika made up of the monetary fund, the EU and the ECB to privatize the port of Piraeus. The Chinese were happy to take it and were given complete control of the strategically located port for a bargain price of 280 million euros. Today Piraeus is number four in Europe, behind Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. The port is the end point of the maritime Silk Road, from China across the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. Beijing also controls its entrance for onward travel through the Suez Canal, with a naval base in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa.

Silk Road project – anything but a marketing gimmick

The example of Greece shows the political effects of China’s increasing influence in some countries, says Günther Oettinger, the former EU Commissioner and Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg. “Before the European Union imposed symbolic sanctions on China in March, Greece liked the role of delaying and watering down resolutions against China. A rogue who thinks evil”, said the CDU politician in a guest article for the “Tagesspiegel” “. China’s expansion can no longer be stopped. “We cannot blame the Chinese for being smart. We can only blame ourselves for being so stupid,” said French President Emmanuel Macron, referring to China’s strategy, which is an increasingly large one in Europe’s economy Role to play. In fact, the EU countries watched China’s shopping spree for a long time with takeovers of technology companies such as the German robot manufacturer Kuka. “When China’s leadership launched the ‘New Silk Road’ project in 2013, many in Europe believed it was a marketing gag,” said Günther Oettinger. President Xi Jinping was very serious, as can be seen from the trade network that has now been established. In Europe, China prefers to help those states, such as Greece or Hungary, that are poorer than Western Europeans. These countries are to be tied closely to themselves by investing billions in infrastructure in order to create a “China-friendly Europe”, as a high-ranking EU diplomat of the “world” said.

No concerns from Berlin

The most recent decision by the EU Parliament, which Suspend discussions on the investment agreement reached with China at the end of last year . Among other things, it was supposed to regulate the access of European companies to the Chinese market, but met with growing opposition in the European Union. Critics complained that the agreement did not set any limits to China’s expansionist urge. This is unlikely to prevent the Chinese from entering the Tollerort container port in Hamburg. The negotiations are after NDR- Information well advanced and coordinated with the federal government. There are no concerns from the Chancellery, the Ministry of Economics and Transport, or the Foreign Office.

Ekaterinburg submarine of the Russian Navy. Photo: TASS Business Insider (USA) reported that the Delta-IV class submarine Ekaterinburg has spent nearly 2 years waiting at the port in Severodvinsk. Ekaterinburg’s decommissioning also marks the “final chapter” of the Delta class that has been the mainstay of the Soviet and Russian fleets of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines for decades. It is expected that Delta-class submarines will be replaced by advanced Borei-class ships. Delta IV class submarines are part of a group of 43 ballistic missile nuclear submarines with the first being launched in the early 70s of the last century. There are seven Delta IV submarines in service with the Russian Navy. Among them is the Podmoskovye which in 2016 was converted into a Special Mission submarine dedicated to intelligence missions. It is known that Ekaterinburg is the second ship of the Delta-IV class to be produced, built in 1985. On August 6, 1989, during Operation Behemoth, the Ekaterinburg submarine tested 16 R-29RM Shtil ballistic missiles. while in diving mode. The first launch was successful, but a fuel leak in the rocket during the second launch halted the test. The Ekaterinburg was fortunately unharmed. Not stopping there, in 2011, a serious fire occurred on the Ekaterinburg ship. The ship then had to undergo a three-year repair process.

However, just 15 days later, MSC Cruises announced that the MSC Orchestra will sail through the Giudecca Canal, St Mark’s Square and dock in the city center on June 5. Illustration. Source: CNN The ban on cruise ships from central Venice has been repeated over the years. To deal with this problem, the yachts will approach the tourist port near the city centre, pass by St Mark’s Square and then continue along the Giudecca Canal – the area that separates central Venice from the island canal. Giudecca. This wide canal is now the main traffic route for ferries and water taxis. Cruise ships head up the 4km (2.5 mi) canal before turning right to dock at Marittima port west of central Venice. Some argue that the appearance of many yachts is worsening the city’s unique landscape, altering the ecosystem and harming the famous city. The incident that took place in June 2019 is an example. At that time, the MSC Opera cruise ship accidentally crashed into a dock in Venice, causing tourists to flee in chaos. Meanwhile, some other comments said that the cruise industry is bringing 42,000 jobs related to ships and promoting tourism economic development for Italy. “Cruises are extremely important. The Port of Venice is generating income for our city and is seen as a quality income. Travelers who choose to cruise will be willing to spend more and stay in the city. stay in the city longer,” said Mr. Adrea Tomaello – representative of the city of Venice. Venice is Italy’s second-largest port. Visitors here will stay in the city before or after the tour. “Cruise tourism accounts for 3.2% of Italy’s gross domestic product. This sector supports jobs for many city dwellers,” emphasized Mr. Adrea Tomaello. However, in the near future, the city of Venice has not yet taken any measures to overcome the above situation. “The problem exists, that is, there is no solution in the context of Venice falling into a state of serious impact,” said environmental scientist Jane da Mosto.

The investor of the BOT Binh Loi – BOT waterway project in Ho Chi Minh City, with a total investment of about 1,300 billion VND – would like to stop the project without collecting fees. The reason given is that due to capital and port problems, the project is unable to collect fees as originally planned, and has no source of payback, so it asks the state to buy back. Binh Loi railway bridge before being dismantled. Photo: VNN Looking at the above reasons, Mr. Tran Do Liem – Chairman of Vietnam Waterway Transport Team said that it is very not good. “The investor of the project is in a stuck position, unable to recover capital, so he wants to return the project, not the state to buy back,” said Liem. The jam of the project according to Mr. Liem’s ​​analysis is that there is no port for toll collection. “As analyzed by the investor, in order to payback for the project, ships must go from Binh Loi railway bridge to Ben Tuc port and vice versa, as such, a fee will be collected when the vehicle enters the ports of An Son, Ben. Cuc and Rach Bap (Binh Duong). However, at present, An Son port has been partially built, Rach Bap port has not yet invested, and Ben Tuc port is being abandoned so there is no port for toll collection. Moreover, the investor has to borrow capital for the project, the interest the bank is having, but the project does not have a port to collect fees … the investor is having a hard time, “Mr. Liem said. From the above story, Mr. Liem also raised the question: Why is a project worth trillion dong being invested but there is no specific plan, no plans to collect fees and payback but still can do it? Answering the question above, Mr. Liem said that the project is the result of “just ask for”, “just do and count”. This needs to look at the responsibilities of both sides, because the investor himself, when implementing the project, has to fully calculate the possible options, can not have anything done, can not collect. capital return, ask for repayment. Who will take responsibility? Sharing with the difficulties of the business, however, pointing out two reasons that the project implementation was wrong from the beginning, Mr. Liem emphasized the reason why the project management board had to apply for the project to return. by the “get it, take it up to it” mindset, very strange. “First of all, it must be repeated since the information that Binh Duong province has approved the BOT fee collection plan for the Saigon river channel (the section from Binh Loi iron bridge – Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Tuc port – Binh Duong) at the price 70 VND / ton / km I said that this fee is unreasonable, it was wrong to start the project to renovate and upgrade the Saigon river channel and build a new Binh Loi iron bridge and collect the payback fee in the first place. It is unreasonable for the transport companies to use only part of the function of this river channel but have to bear the full fee to pay the investors back. Furthermore, water transport companies only use the Saigon River channel to move vehicles to Ben Tuc port but have to pay a payback fee for the construction of the Binh Loi iron bridge. This is like upgrading, covering a section of the road and then blocking the toll collection route as in road BOT projects. Next, the approval of the project without taking into account the plan of exploitation and reimbursement to the investor is wrong from both the investor’s side and the state management agency. The thought of applying for a project with a project or obtaining a project has led to the current confusion. Looking at the mining potential, there is absolutely no future. Inland waterway toll collection is vague, there is no specific regulation or specific price level. In addition, the source of vehicles to Binh Loi iron bridge mainly comes from Dong Nai, not much, plus the high fees will cause vehicles to find other ways. The mindset of both project execution and calculation is very dangerous, and both the investor and the management agency must be responsible, “said Mr. Liem. With this project, Mr. Liem said that it was a “good thing” and could not be stopped anymore. Therefore, both sides have to sit together, remove difficulties, find solutions to put the project into operation. It is more important, according to Mr. Liem, to handle responsibilities seriously with individuals and organizations involved in this project. “Obviously there are signs of asking – giving, a project does not have enough conditions to exploit business, has no plan to collect fees, the ability to recover capital but still deployed is emotional, irresponsible. This must be considered, clarified, responsible, wrong, wrong one must handle. The handling of responsibility is to avoid asking for messing around, causing waste, frustration, “he said. Integrity emphasized.

According to information at the meeting, Ca Mau province is preparing a project calling for investment in building Hon Khoai deep-water port, an international transshipment seaport capable of receiving ships of 250,000 tons, the capacity through the port is 40 million tons / year, and is the main way of circulation serving goods. Ca Mau expects that, when there is a deep-water port, the surrounding area will form and develop industrial zones and clusters, helping to create jobs for people in the area. Concerned about this issue, KS Doan Manh Dung (Ho Chi Minh City Association of Marine Economic and Science), said that water transportation is the optimal transport system for the Mekong Delta because it has a river density of 0.68 km / km2. is a rare high density river in the world. Years ago, there was an idea proposing to build gateway ports for the Mekong Delta on offshore islands such as Con Dao, Hon Khoai, Nam Du. Up to now, in recent years, Ca Mau continues to want to be Hon Khoai deep-water port. However, right from the time the proposed idea was given above, KS Doan Manh Dung made a speech and stated that it is not feasible to make Hon Khoai port because it is wrong in principle. Hon Khoai is more than 6 nautical miles from the mainland Accordingly, in theory the formation and existence of a port has the following principles: A port exists only when the total cost of transport routes behind the port plus costs at the port plus the total cost of the routes. freight forward port is the least. If there is another port with less total cost, the previous port will not exist. He cites 3 examples to support this principle: First, the old Saigon port exists thanks to the total cost of transportation routes from the western and eastern provinces plus the cost of constructing and operating Saigon port and the costs of routes from Saigon port. the places are the least. The reason is that river ships from places to Saigon port are convenient, Sai Gon port has natural depth, the channel for large ships from the sea to enter Saigon port is not dredged. Those factors help shape the old Saigon city. Second, Vietnam used to plan to build Ke Ga port to export aluminum oxide. But at Ke Ga location, there are not enough natural factors for port. If you want to do it, you must invest in building a windbreak system and creating artificial depths. So the cost will be extremely large. Therefore, Ke Ga port project had to be canceled. Third, in the past, Hoi An was a good port. But when it was filled up and the demand for draft of the ship increased, the cost of maintaining the depth was so great that Hoi An became the museum today From here, KS Doan Manh Dung assessed that if you choose Hon Khoai or Con Dao as a port, it is convenient for ships to arrive at the port, but river ships from inland water to the island in the middle of the sea must upgrade from river ships to ships. coastal run, not to mention other issues. “Vietnam must upgrade all ships running in rivers to ships that can run at sea so that river ships can go to Hau river mouth at Tran De estuary and go back to Hon Khoai. This cost is not small for poor countries like Vietnam. This improvement will increase the total post-port costs plus the cost at the port and the pre-port costs will increase. Then, unable to compete with another port appeared with lower total costs. It is important to have a suitable port that can accommodate river ships and seagoing ships and the cost of construction and maintenance of the port is low, “said KS Doan Manh Dung. According to the expert, if opening a river connecting Hau river through Ca Mau to Hon Khoai port, this cost is not small, but will lose land and increase salinity for the Mekong Delta. If building the road from Ca Mau to Hon Khoai land to use road, we will deny the advantage of waterway transport of Mekong Delta. He also noted that the design of Hon Khoai port has not been discussed here with major shortcomings. That is the model of Hon Khoai port that will be alluvial from the north to quickly install the door into the water area of ​​the port. With a counter-clockwise cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere, the water area of ​​the port was exposed. “This model is the porting mindset of Australia in the southern hemisphere where the cyclone is clockwise. The consultant lacks understanding of the local laws of nature,” said KS Doan Manh Dung. said and suggested the policy of building Hon Khoai port should be reconsidered. “Every province has aspirations, but that aspiration must be based on the natural characteristics of that region”, he emphasized and cited for example, the Japanese documents show that the mouth of Ganh Rai bay has a water line – 9.5m to -11m. However, increasing the depth of the mouth of Ganh Rai bay to bring large ships into Cai Mep-Thi Vai port is a big financial challenge. A lesson summed up by countries around the world is that when the natural draft of the port is too small, the investment value increases according to the Parapol line when the draft increases. Meaning that to fight nature, the budget for maintaining the port depth is immense beyond the reach of a poor country.

The gorgeous tulips in spring will take you to appreciate the exotic customs from the Netherlands. They are gorgeous and inspiring. They will return your thinking to the original and sublimate your life philosophy. Beijing International Flower Port is the only professional flower industry park in Beijing.

It should be added that the leasing of maritime infrastructure has been implemented quite effectively by the Ministry of Transport – Transport and the Vietnam Maritime Administration. Since 2004 until now, there have been 4 leases of marine infrastructure invested with state budget funds, with the total rental paid to the state budget up to 1,480 billion VND. .

“The contract no.03 for renting An Thoi port was unilaterally terminated ahead of time because the internal investor consortium had many disagreements, leading to the incorrect payment of rent to the State on time. The operation of An Thoi port in the form of leasing still brings efficiency to the State ”, Mr. Luu Quang Lam, Chairman of the Board of Directors of An Thoi Seaport Investment and Exploitation Joint Stock Company affirmed.

According to Mr. Nguyen Nhat, Deputy Minister of Transport – Transport, to continue to select the lessee to operate An Thoi port according to the provisions of Decree No. 43/2018 / ND-CP dated March 12, 2018 of the Government, The Ministry of Transport has instructed the Vietnam Maritime Administration (the unit assigned to manage assets) to develop the Scheme.

“Up to now, the Scheme’s dossier has been completed and valid according to regulations. The fact that the Ministry of Transport and Transport consulted the Ministry of Finance – the public property management agency – is to comply with the provisions of Decree No. 43/2018 / ND-CP dated March 12, 2018 of the management, use and exploitation of maritime infrastructure assets, ”said Mr. Nhat.

Potential risks

According to the proposal of the Vietnam Maritime Administration, the entire maritime infrastructure of An Thoi port will continue to be leased for about 42 years from the time of signing the lease contract (expected from 2021). by 2063 (according to the time of use of the property).

The starting price for the rental auction of An Thoi port infrastructure is about 195 billion VND, determined by two items: fixed collection price worth 160 billion VND (residual value of the property; service costs annual asset management and exploitation of the lessor; cost of project formulation, auction organization) and the change in price of VND 35 billion, based on the lessee’s revenue from exploiting profit.

Representative of the Vietnam Maritime Administration said that this starting price is close to the developments of An Thoi port in recent times. In fact, after 7 years of leasing, it shows that the output of goods through the port only reached an average of 17% of the design capacity.

The main reason is that goods transported to Phu Quoc Island are mainly construction materials for civil construction works, goods related to people. Because it is located in the southern part of the island, far from projects and works under construction, if the cargo is unloaded at An Thoi port, it will take a long road transport process, but the road is narrow, through the residential market small bridges, bridges, low payloads, not suitable for the transportation of heavy and bulky goods.

“That is not to mention, Phu Quoc currently has many temporary ports and inland waterway ports, scattered near the construction works around the island, with cheap rates, quite convenient for loading and unloading goods. The contractor will definitely have experience and a stable source of goods, ”said the leader of the Vietnam Maritime Administration.

An Thoi Port Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company, Phu Quoc Sun Company Limited and some local investors are very interested in participating in leasing the right to operate An Thoi port in the case of the Scheme. approved by competent authorities.
