Research on the Freight Corridor Planning for Beibu Gulf of China

With the economy development of hinterland of the port and the gradual improvement of the integrated transportation system, Beibu Gulf will become a large, comprehensive and modern port with the features of handling and storage, transshipment, organization and management of transportation, port-neighboring industry, information services, production and living services, modern logistics services, bonded services, leisure, tourism, passenger transport over water, and international cruise port. To the end of the "12th Five-Year", the cargo throughput of Qinzhou, Beihai, Fangchenggang port in Beibu Gulf will improve quickly to 300 to 500 million tons from approximately 100 million tons in 2010. There is an urgent need to improve the rail freight transport capacity for coastal ports in Guangxi province and Beibu Gulf Economic Zone. To solve the railway freight bottlenecks that have restricted the development of coastal ports and the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Guangxi province, freight corridors with large transmission capacity access to the port must be planned soon. It will form a rational layout, coordination of the station and railway line, good accessibility and high quality modern railway transport network. Transport capacity and quality meet the needs of assembling and distributing transportation of the Beibu Gulf and adapt to the economic and social development of Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.
