Research On The Path To The Integration Of Ningbo And Zhoushan Port

Ningbo Port and Zhoushan Port are adjacent to each other.In the past ten years,the two ports have been choosing competition or cooperation.At present,the increase of unstable factors in the world economy and the mergers of shipping business have posed new challenges to the healthy development of the two ports.Although the Zhejiang Provincial Government has proposed some moves,such as port integration and setting up a provincial port commission,to guide the merger management of the two ports,there has always been a debate about the choice of merger and rivalry between the two ports.As a result,the two ports have not really achieved integration.This paper is going to put forward a way of enhancing the key competitiveness of Zhoushan Port and Ningbo Port from the perspective of port management.It is hoped that this paper can provide a reference for the development of coastal ports..It is going to verify the necessity of integration of two ports according to the investigation and study on the resources,capabilities and development potential of the two ports,and by establishing a game model.It is also going to brightly distinguish strengths and weaknesses,opportunities and threats with the comparative analysis of resources on the shore line,economic hinterland,collection and distribution network,management environment and so on.The conclusion is drawn that the two ports have strong advantages and strong complementarity,which lay the foundations for the port integration research.After analyzing the obstacles encountered in the process of the merger between the two ports and the successful cases of the merges of ports at home and abroad,it puts forward the pattern of the development of Zhoushan Port and Ningbo Port---a substantial integration.The port resources should be pooled efficiently,the logistics dispatch should be highly unified,and the performance appraisal should be scientific and fair.On this basis,the ways and countermeasures for the development of Zhoushan Port and Ningbo Port have come into being.It is hoped that this paper can provide ideas for the process of the integration of Ningbo Port and Zhoushan Port.
