2. 1 Development status at home and abroad

A typical example of modern port logistics is Rotterdam Port. The port of Rotterdam stimulates and promotes the economic activities of the port and industrial complex by increasing and attracting investment; It cooperates with all parties concerned in an open and transparent way, and creates and uses a public-private combination model; It is based on attracting more goods and other value-added services related to logistics, processing, distribution and other industries, and establishing a smooth, safe and complete port. Followed by Singapore Port. Singapore ports implement a free port policy to provide convenience and preferential treatment for businessmen; Clear division of logistics and intensive management; At the same time, it also cultivates the port logistics chain, and the port and processing industry develop together; Implement various forms of logistics services and provide various value-added services. The logistics development of the above two ports shows the characteristics and advantages of advanced ports in the world everywhere.

The development of ports in the world has generally experienced four generations, that is, the first generation of ports with traditional transportation, loading and unloading storage functions; The second generation port with the function of "transportation center+service center"; The third generation port with the function of "international logistics center"; It is a fourth-generation port compatible with the functions of the third-generation port, with the waterfront green stronghold with chain reaction of logistics supply as its functional positioning, and it is an intelligent port. In China, the logistics development level of each port is uneven, some ports even stay at the level of the second-generation ports, while some ports have surpassed the third-generation ports and are developing to the fourth-generation ports. On the whole, the technical level of China port is not high, its development lags behind, it is still in the state of traditional logistics in many aspects, its internationalization, marketization and modernization are low, its adaptability to economic and social development is insufficient, and its structural contradictions are prominent. Table 1 compares the logistics development modes of Rotterdam Port and Singapore Port with the domestic traditional modes. From the aspects of logistics management subject, infrastructure and business subject, we can see that China's port logistics still needs to be improved and developed, and its development will face great challenges.

By the end of 2007, Chinese mainland's 100 million-ton ports had increased from 12 at the end of 2006 to 14 (Yantai Port and Yingkou Port were added). So far, China has become the country with the largest number of ports of 100 million tons in the world. From the perspective of the port industry as a whole, the throughput has increased steadily, but the slowdown trend has been formed. From the perspective of ports, the throughput growth of northern ports is better than that of southern ports, and the throughput growth of bulk-based ports is higher than that of container-based ports. From the data in Table 2 and Table 3, we can see that the development momentum of the port is good.
