Hangzhou Sea Container Transport Development Studies

In this dissertation waterway container transport in Hangzhou is reaserched in order to recommend to the authorities the best one of its feasible development projects and policies to speed its development, and provide an example of reaserching development of waterway container transport for others.In this dissertation its history is studied and devided into two parties: the first one is named as Pujia phase and the second one Sanliyang phase. Its status and characteristics at present are analyzed. Five problems, such as the absence of container terminals, the low grades of its sea-routes, the imbecility of canvassing for cargo, the small ships without scale-economy and the high traffic cost, are pointed out.

The volume of normal container, that of generated container, that of waterway container transport, normal waterway container traffic, diverted waterway container traffic and generated waterway container traffic are precisely and reliably forecasted one after another. During the course of forecast, the...
