Adaptability Analysis On Guangzhou Port Deepwater Channel And The Regional Economic

Port is the hub of the regional economic and social development, and channel is the mainartery of shipping development, as well as the important infrastructure of port and navigationdevelopment. In view of international experience, in order to build an important pivot port fordomestic and international exchange, port channel construction is one most important link.Only when the channel adapts the trend of upsizing ship, supplies transportation demand ofprincipal commodities like coal, petroleum, mineral and container, can it meets the needs ofregional economic development. Only with deep channel as the primary link, to optimize theport layout, to integrate port resource, and to complete port transportation systems andlogistics support system, can the port promote the economic development.Deepwater channel of Guangzhou Port is the channel of public channel amongGuangzhou Port, Western Shenzhen Port and Zhongshan Port., also the importantinfrastructure of the Pearl River Delta ports’ logistics and shipping development, as well as animportant support to optimize the port layout, to speed up industrial restructuring andupgrading, and to build a modern industrial system. Channel is the main artery of port andnavigation economic development. Guangzhou Port deepwater channel’s operation indices,like classification and traffic ability, play an important role in optimizing the Pearl River Deltaports’ layout, integrating port resource, and completing port transportation systems andlogistics support system. Guangzhou Port deepwater is the important infrastructure of modernport logistics. With the continuous improvement on the requirements of modern logistics onPearl River Delta economic development, and continuous development of Guangzhou Port,Humen Port, Western Shenzhen Port and Zhongshan Port, Guangzhou Port deepwaterchannel’s adaptability for regional economic development arouses more and more attention.This paper expounds the current situation of Guangzhou Port deepwater channelconstruction and regional economic development, evaluates the channel’s current trafficability, and analyzes the relationship between deepwater channel and regional economicdevelopment, in order to discourse the position and effect of channel construction on regionaleconomic development. It selects port cargo throughput, the ship type and regional GDP asevaluating indicators. By comparing and analyzing these indicators and quantitative indicatorof channel traffic ability, it discusses whether the channel operation indices adapt regionaleconomic development, which provides reference for deepwater channel construction.
