Extended data:
Port is a transportation hub located along the coast of sea, river, lake and reservoir, equipped with water transportation equipment, and has the conditions for safe entry, exit and berthing of ships. It is the distribution center and hub of land and water transportation, the distribution center of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade import and export materials, and the place where ships dock, load and unload goods, get on and off passengers and replenish materials.
Ports have always played an important role in a country's economic development. Transportation connects the whole world, and the port is an important part of transportation. Developed countries in the world generally have their own coastlines and ports with relatively perfect functions. The function of the port can be summarized as the following four aspects:
1, logistics service function. Ports should first provide comprehensive logistics services such as transit, loading and unloading, warehousing, etc. for ships, automobiles, trains, airplanes, goods and containers, especially improving multimodal transport and logistics services in distribution and processing.
2. Information service function. Modern ports should not only provide users with market decision-making information and consultation, but also build a value-added service network of electronic data interchange (EDI) system to provide customers with logistics services such as order management and supply chain control.
3. Commercial function. The existence of ports is not only the premise of commodity exchange and domestic and foreign trade, but also promotes their development. Modern ports should provide users with convenient transportation, commercial and financial services, such as agency, insurance, financing, freight forwarding, shipping agency and customs clearance.
4. Industrial function. The establishment of modern logistics needs a platform with the function of integrating productivity factors. As the connection point between the domestic market and the international market, the port has realized the all-round circulation from the traditional cargo flow to the people flow, the cargo flow, the business flow, the capital flow, the technology flow and the information flow, and is the gathering point of goods, capital, technology, talents and information.
