On May 6, 2022, Wuhan issued the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Logistics Industry (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), proposing that by 2025, the basic construction will be completed with reasonable layout, complete functions, smooth internal and external, regional cooperation, intelligent The efficient, green and safe modern logistics operation system will accelerate its integration into the "Global 123 Express Cargo Circulation Circle" (one-day delivery in China, two-day delivery in neighboring countries, and three-day delivery in major cities around the world). The total amount of social logistics reached 5.5 trillion yuan, and the added value of the logistics industry reached 200 billion yuan. At the same time, the ratio of total social logistics cost to GDP is 2 percentage points lower than the national average.

Plan to invest more than 100 billion yuan

The "Planning" proposes that Wuhan should strive to create a national logistics hub economic demonstration zone. The national logistics hub is the core infrastructure of the logistics system. It is a comprehensive logistics hub with wider radiation area, stronger agglomeration effect, better service function and higher operation efficiency. It plays a key node, important platform and backbone in the national logistics network. The role of the hub.

According to the "National Logistics Hub Layout and Construction Plan" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport in 2018, national logistics hubs are divided into dry port type, port type, airport type, production service type, business service type, land border port type, etc. 6 types. At present, Wuhan is one of the few "five-type" national logistics hub cities in the country that integrates dry port, port, airport, production service, and business service.

The "Planning" proposes that Wuhan should build a "five-type" national logistics hub with high standards. It mainly includes building a world-class "one core and three poles" container port logistics group, with Yangluo hub port as the core, supported by Huashan operation area, Jingkai port container terminal, and Jinkou container terminal, forming a unified, coordinated and integrated operation. Container port development pattern, basically build an Asia-Pacific shipping center; develop and expand the "Wuhan-Japan" and "Wu Ding" direct river-sea routes, expand the scale of the 560 TEU direct sailing fleet, expand the "Wuhan-South Korea" route, and build the middle and middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The most efficient and convenient international direct channel connecting the western region to East Asia.

In the construction of a land-port-type national logistics hub, the "Planning" proposes to accelerate the construction of Dongxihu Park in Wuhan Xingang Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone with the Wujiashan Railway Logistics Base as the core; Distribution and distribution center; plans to form a "seven-ring and thirty-radius" high-speed expressway network with Wuhan as the center and radiating Wuhan city circle, so as to realize direct connection between Wuhan and surrounding cities.

In the construction of an airport-type national logistics hub, the "Planning" proposes to build an Ezhou Huahu International Air Cargo Hub, centering on the functional positioning of Hubei's international logistics core hub and passenger branch lines, and to develop air cargo mainly for express transshipment. Promote the coordinated development of Wuhan Tianhe Airport and Ezhou Huahu Airport, promote the integrated development of dual hubs and general aviation, and coordinate the construction of the Wuhan City Circle Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone.

At the same time, it will create a cross-border e-commerce gathering area with C2M (customer direct connection manufacturing) as the core, and radiate and serve related manufacturing and commercial circulation enterprises in the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Relying on Wuhan's "optical core screen terminal network", big health medicine and other trillion-dollar industrial clusters, develop related industrial logistics.

Focusing on the "five-type" hub construction, the "Planning" specifies that the projects that will be included in the management of the city's modern logistics industry development major project database during the 14th Five-Year Plan period are divided into freight hub type, business service type, production service type, port service type, and comprehensive service type 5 There are 78 categories in total, the total planned investment is about 102.2 billion yuan, and the 14th Five-Year Plan has completed an investment of about 78 billion yuan.

Provide support for dual-cycle strategic links

In 2021, the Wuhan Municipal Transportation Bureau conducted a comparative analysis of Wuhan's logistics competitiveness, showing that Wuhan ranks sixth in the national urban logistics competitiveness ranking, and the overall scale of the logistics industry ranks among the top five cities in the country and the first in the central region.

From the perspective of the national pattern, China's regional logistics pattern is entering the era of "five poles" centered on Beijing-Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chengdu-Chongqing, etc. The "diamond structure" formed by the vertices of five cities connects China logistics system. In China's urban logistics map, Wuhan is right at the center of the "five poles".

However, a number of industry insiders told reporters that Wuhan's logistics development is also facing a series of problems, including the lack of smooth international logistics channels, such as the insufficient density of international waterway routes, and the incomplete air freighter route network. In addition, the development of multimodal transport is insufficient, the construction of special railway lines for dredging ports is slow, the multimodal transport corridor has not yet been formed in the Jiangnan area, and the container rail-water combined transport in Wuhan accounts for less than 2%.

The "Planning" points out that it will focus on building a new highland for inland opening, focusing on the construction of the central land-sea corridor and the international aviation corridor, and accelerating the formation of a low-cost, high-efficiency and diversified logistics channel system, in order to create a domestic and international dual-cycle strategic link. Provide support.

In the construction of the Central Land-Sea Corridor, four key trading partner regions, including ASEAN, the European Union, the United States, and Japan, will be highlighted, and the cluster of four comprehensive transportation hubs with Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Chengdu-Chongqing will be strengthened. The connection and linkage between them will form a "four-way and ten-channel" land-sea international channel network connecting Japan and South Korea, China Unicom Europe, ASEAN, and the world.

In the construction of the international aviation corridor, speed up the implementation of the passenger and cargo “dual hub” strategy of Wuhan Tianhe Airport and Ezhou Huahu Airport, deepen the synergy of the “belly + full cargo aircraft” route layout between the two airports, consolidate the European and American intercontinental cargo routes, and intensify the Northeast China Asia and Southeast Asia medium and short-haul freight routes, open freight routes in Australia, Central Asia and other regions, and strive to build a "35+15+30" international route network (35 business routes, 15 freight routes, 30 cultural tourism routes), and accelerate the formation of "35+15+30" international routes. A major international aviation channel that links the world and covers a wide range.

In addition, the construction level of Wuhan's logistics hub is generally not high enough. The construction of logistics facilities and supporting ports such as Yangluo International Port, Tianhe Airport, and Wujiashan Railway Logistics Base is insufficient, the facility service capacity is weak, and the comprehensive service level of hub operators and freight forwarding enterprises is not high. .

In this regard, the "Planning" proposes to seize the opportunity to relieve non-capital functions, actively undertake the logistics of central enterprises to set up logistics headquarters in Wuhan, and promote the regional headquarters of COSCO Group and the global data processing center to settle in Wuhan. Accelerate the development of the headquarters of local large-scale logistics enterprise groups, promote local enterprises to carry out various forms of cooperation with large-scale logistics enterprises at home and abroad, and support their development of headquarters economy.
