把出海口"搬"到内陆城市,一条小清河,让不沿边不靠海的济南打开了新的对外通道。6月17日,济南将召 开小清河推介会,以提升小清河航运的品牌影响力。复航一年多来,小清河航运如今发展到了什么程度?这 条沉寂多年的"黄金水道"如何掀起内陆城市"向海而兴"的浪潮? 于泊升 济南报道 通江达海: 一条河的"能级跃迁" 小清河复航后,沿线不少企业认为,内陆城市济南在"家门口"有了出海口。 "以前从济南运货到天津港（600717）,走公路需要绕400多公里,现在经小清河只要200公里水路。"山东 某铝业公司物流负责人王强摊开地图,手指沿着河道划出一道弧线。 从地理位置上看,小清河发源于济南,流经滨州、淄博、东营、潍坊,全长237公里(通航段169公里),是山东 省内河航道布局规划"一纵二横、三干多支"航道网中的核心"一横"。小清河复航工程完成后,航道由五 级提升至三级标准,船闸、桥梁等永久设施按二级标准建设,可满足2000吨级船舶通航需求。 "自复航以来,小清河航运发展态势良好,运输规模不断扩大。"济南市城乡交通运输局航空与水运处有关 负责人介绍,2024年2月正式通航以来,小清河已完成海河直达、河海联运500余航次,运输 ...

【大河财立方 记者 程帅星】 水运发展全面建设年，河南接连搞出"大动作"。 4月30日，《河南省内河航道与港口布局规划修编（2025—2035年）》公开征求意见；5月27日，河南省政府发布《河南省临港产业发展规划（2025—2035 年）》；6月2日，河南开通第三条"铁海直运"线路，再添一条出海新通道…… 河南发展水运，实际上是在发展什么？ 从航道、港口建设，到临港产业规划，河南持续谋划。布局临港产业、发力临港经济，答案正逐渐清晰。 发展临港经济，河南"家底"如何？ 千古百业兴，先行在交通。一个地区对交通运输的投入，不仅在于促进交通运输产业自身的发展，更在于赋能千行百业。 水运亦是如此。 何谓临港经济？是指地理位置毗邻港口、相关业务与港口有较高关联度、依托港口物流的便利条件发展而来的经济业态。 在很多人的印象里，河南地处北方，少雨缺水，发展内河航运自然条件不足。 实际上，早在20世纪90年代，河南就曾联合兄弟省份完成内河复航工程可行性报告。2005年年底，沙颍河复航。2017年，周口中心港开港运营。今年初， 周口晋升为全国37个港口型国家物流枢纽承载城市之一…… 2024年，河南省完成港口吞吐量6085万吨， ...

"现在我们心里踏实多了，不怕货物出运不及时了。"苏州三星负责人谭美芳介绍，过去，企业需通 过集卡往返太仓港区提箱、送箱，成本高且易受节假日、交通拥堵等因素影响。通过苏州港"穿巴""陆 改水"，空箱可提前调运至工厂，装满货物的重箱只需送至苏州园区港的内河码头，且"穿巴"每日稳定 发班，极大提升中转效率。"通过'穿巴'运输的集装箱，还享受免收舱位费、码头靠泊费及装卸费率优 惠、优先靠泊等政策便利。"她补充说，"大概一个标箱能省下30%的物流成本。" 降本效应在远距离运输中更为突出。苏州恒会物流负责人孙建伟也算了一笔账：以往一次性转运30 个大箱至上海港需动用30辆集卡，如今通过"穿巴"直达太仓港区，再衔接"苏申快航"转运至上海港，操 作流程大幅简化，时效显著缩短。"相比纯集卡运输，到外高桥港每大柜省600元，到洋山港能省950 元。"该负责人表示，"穿巴"船期稳定、舱位充足，有力保障了批量货物出运。 苏州港稳外贸专班还利用空箱中心的资源，为企业出海提供免费调空服务，保障用箱需求；为40余 家企业提供累计2500标箱的重箱免堆服务……一系列举措为苏州外贸企业降低物流成本、提升市场竞争 力提供了有力支持，助力企业在复 ...

中新网南宁6月4日电(杨陈陆小婷)广西西江开发投资集团有限公司(下称"西江集团")4日介绍，5月1日至 5月31日，长洲船闸单月过货量突破2444万吨，同比增长9.24%，刷新历史纪录。 西江航运干线"黄金水道"是中国西南水运出海大通道的重要组成部分。长洲船闸是西江航运干线上最 大、最后一个梯级枢纽，也是西江黄金水道通往粤港澳大湾区的"咽喉"，承担着广西内河90%的货运 量。 今年以来，长洲船闸曾一度受广西水情持续偏枯、长洲一线二线船闸因超水头问题长时间退出运行、长 洲三线船闸停航39天大修等不利因素影响，过货量下跌。 科技创新始终是长洲船闸提升运营效能的"金钥匙"。近年来，西江集团持续加大科研投入，推动西江广 西段多梯级多线船闸群综合通航调度服务科技示范工程顺利通过预验收。该工程将大数据、智能化等前 沿技术深度应用于船闸管理，实现船舶调度更精准、过闸流程更智能，有效缩短了船舶待闸时间，使船 闸通航效率显著提升。(完) （文章来源：中国新闻网） 随着5月汛期的到来，西江流域下游水位逐步回升，大藤峡和长洲下游水库出库流量稳定在7000立方米/ 秒左右，西江通航条件持续改善。 面对这一宝贵的"窗口期"，广西港航发 ...
