Multimodal transport development status and trends
In view of all the activities generally associated with intermodal transportation ,a more complete definition is:The concept of transporting passengers and freight on two or more different modes in such a way that all parts of the transportation process,including the exchange of information , are efficiently connected and coordinated . The goal of an intermodal transfer ,when applied strictly to the movement of freight ,is to provide intermodal freight transportation , which is coordinated ,seamless , flexible, and continuous from door to door on door or more transportation modes .
developing status and future of intermodal transportation
With the development of our country's economy and speed up the pace of opening to the outside world, our country inland multimodal transport and the requirements of the international multimodal transport is becoming more and more strong.In recent years, in order to adapt to and meets the needs of the China national foreign trade transportation development, our country to some countries and regions have begun to adopt the international multimodal transport Way. At present, our country has carried out the international multimodal transport routes including the mainland by sea from the Japanese mainland, the mainland, mainland mainland Africa, Western Europe, Australia etc. The transportation lines and Mongolia or the former Soviet union on the mainland to Iran and the west, the Nordic countries back and forth the Siberian continental bridge of transit. The Siberian continental bridge by the rapid development of container transportation business,and Each region has their ways of multimodal transport.
Tube, the multimodal transport development in our country compared with other developed countries, is quite backward, and slow
According to the world of international container multimodal transport development situation, development trends and management system and the market mechanism and so on the actual situation in our country, the development direction of China's container multimodal transport, efforts should be in two aspects:
Multimodal transport market size and network coverage of multimodal transport in China will further expand demand mainly from the three major economic developed areas: Yangtze river delta, the pearl river delta and rim region, most of them are foreign trade goods. Because this kind of goods in the supply of goods to mostly distributed in coastal areas, as a result, road transportation become a large number of the main mode of transportation, port and multimodal transport compared with staging, the cost advantage is not obvious. As open to expanding the area to the mainland and manufacturing gradually shift toward central and western China, the coastal port hinterland inland is constantly expanding, in
addition, the increase in distance of multimodal transport give full play to the advantages of each transport mode combination efficiency gradually highlights, so predictable, the multimodal transport in China and the size of the market there will be rapid growth, the network coverage will be from the sea, Yangtze river delta, the pearl river delta and other coastal developed areas extend in the major cities in the Midwest. The rail transport, transport will become the future development of China is the fastest way of two kinds of combined transport most of the planned economy period, our country's transport is given priority to with public transportation, the globalization trend itntensified, country opening to the outside world degree deepening era background, the multimodal transport most to match the shipping method, and give priority to with container transport. With the current scale compared to the top of the port container throughput in the world, the port of ocean-rail transportation in a strikingly low proportion, which on the one hand, is not conducive to the overall advantages of the comprehensive transportation, the longer it will restrict to further improve the scale of port throughput.
According to the world of international container multimodal transport development situation, development trends and management system and the market mechanism and so on the actual situation in our country, the development direction of China's container multimodal transport, efforts should be in two aspects:
One is to promote to form centered on port area integrated container shipping network, the domestic and international container transportation market effectively connected, the area highway, railway, shipping container transportation based on port perfect transport system. 2 it is to promote the standardization of container intermodal transportation, including formulate unified container technical standard, unified transport documents, improve the operation process, set up information channel of communication, to regulate the transport process, simplify the transport procedures, establish a unified, standardized laws and regulations, policies, joint inspection mechanism, coordination mechanism, etc., make the different mode of transportation can really realize seamless.
In a word, multimodal transport is a very long road .
