Digitalization accelerates the transformation and upgrading of port economy
Release date: October 29, 2018
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: “To promote the deep integration of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and real economy” and “to build a network power, a digital China and a smart society”. In this context, the provincial party committee and government proposed to implement the big data strategy, deepen the construction of “Digital Zhejiang” and take “Digital Economy” as the No.1 Project, which reflected the engine position of digitalization in economic transformation and upgrading.
So is the port economy. At present, the port’s economic competitiveness is not only “winning by quantity”, but also depends on the high efficiency of operation, the vitality of ecological circle and the degree of opening to the outside world, which, in terms of technical support, depends to some extent on its digital construction level. “Digitally strengthening Hong Kong” is not only a new variable to improve quality and efficiency, but also an accelerator for transformation and upgrading.
Digital construction of port economy is a cross-disciplinary, systematic and revolutionary project. Zhejiang Harbour Group and Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group, as pioneers of digital construction of domestic port enterprises, have put forward and practiced the idea of “4 S” (smart, Satisfy, Share and Sustainable, that is, excellent port operation, satisfactory and convenient port service, open and shared port ecosystem and sustainable port development) in recent years, and achieved remarkable results.
Mainly reflected in the following four aspects: (1) the establishment of a digital job management system has basically realized the high efficiency of operation management; Building a “single window” for digital services has basically realized the convenience of logistics services; Building a digital port ecosystem has basically realized the openness of information flow development; Building a digital port security system has basically realized the integration of safety supervision.
The exploration and practice of Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group have proved that digitalization is an inevitable choice for the transformation and upgrading of the port economy, which changes the traditional service mode of the port and the “rules of the game” of the port production organization to some extent. Replacing experience, controlling resources, providing services and creating value with digitalization are of great significance for the high-quality development of port economy.
In the coming period, Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group will take accelerating the digitalization construction as an inevitable choice to actively integrate into the national major strategy, as an important path to fully participate in the strategy of strengthening the ocean, as an important support to build a world-class port, and establish a world-class port digitalization system with effective operation and control, convenient logistics service, rich innovation and application, intensive information facilities and data sharing, so as to turn Zhejiang Port into a national leading and world-renowned smart port and strive to become a new benchmark for the transformation and upgrading of the national port economy.
Strengthen the top-level design of digital construction, focus on the goal of “four first-class” port construction, give play to the role of headquarters, and strengthen.Make overall plans and coordination, improve the top-level design of port digital construction, establish a system of co-construction, sharing, organizational guarantee and information standardization, as well as a working mechanism of up-and-down linkage and regional coordination, form a digital decision-making, operation, management and service control system suitable for the integrated development of ports in the province, and comprehensively deepen the integration and application of digitalization in the fields of port economic decision-making, production and operation, safety supervision and efficient logistics.
Increase investment in digital infrastructure construction, conform to the new trend and new demand of port development, continuously improve the service level of broadband network for port digitalization, establish an ocean port Internet of Things network covering the whole group as soon as possible, and uniformly arrange the cloud platform and big data center to support port digitalization construction, so as to realize the comprehensive perception of terminals, people, vehicles, ships and cargo, and form a new system of “cloud+network+terminal” port information infrastructure.
We will continue to promote the wide application of digitalization in port production and operation, so as to promote the intelligence of port production and operation by digitalization, realize the wide application of automatic equipment such as intelligent tally, intelligent gate, plane transportation and yard operation, automatic collection of terminal operation data and remote control of port machinery and equipment, deepen the application of new generation information technologies such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and blockchain, and efficiently smooth the information between the port and cargo owners, freight forwarders, transportation companies, shipping companies, port supervision and other units.
Pay attention to the digitalization to enrich the development format of port economy, give full play to the leading role of “internet plus” in innovation, accelerate the development of “internet plus Port”, promote the technical flow, capital flow, talent flow and material flow with information flow, enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of port economy at home and abroad, build an open, inclusive and win-win port economic ecosystem, and truly promote the port economic transformation and development quality upgrade with digitalization.
