At present, China's economic situation is generally good, but domestic natural disasters, volatile crude oil prices, and uncertainties in the development of the United States financial turmoil continue to affect China's chemical logistics industry. At the 4th China Liquid Chemicals Logistics Summit sponsored by the China Chemical Industry News recently, government officials, corporate executives and relevant experts analyzed the status, characteristics, and development trends of domestic chemical logistics.
Many opportunities for chemical logistics
In 2007, China's logistics industry showed a thriving situation. The growth rate of the logistics industry's total output value increased by 1.5 percentage points over the previous year, and its share of the national GDP increased from 6.7% in the previous year to 6.8%. Global logistics has entered the era of supply chain. The number of logistics service providers grows at an average rate of 20% per year. The logistics output in the United States and China has the fastest growth.
Experts pointed out that although China's economy has encountered many challenges, it is an opportunity greater than a challenge for the chemical logistics industry. First, China's petrochemical industry, which is the foundation of the national economy, has not changed its high-growth trend. In 2007, the increase in its total output value was greater than the increase in domestic GDP. At that time, the import and export trade volume of domestic oil products and chemical raw materials reached US$320 billion. The increase of 25% brings about the prosperity of chemical logistics. Second, due to the shortage of domestic oil resources, the volume of imported crude oil continues to increase, and international oil prices continue to oscillate at a high level. This has promoted the rise of new coal chemical industries such as coal-to-oil, coal-to-coal ethers, and coal-to-olefins, as well as the rise of the biofuel industry. With a total liquid fuel capacity of up to tens of millions of tons, producers are looking for new carriers and logistics service providers. Third, the establishment of chemical parks in various provinces and municipalities, the construction of coastal city freight terminals and ports, the laying of regional oil and gas pipeline networks, and the networking of expressways, and the need for modern logistics support. Fourth, multinational chemical companies are looking for supply chain partners. There have been as many as 2,000 foreign companies in China Chemicals. Most of them implement logistics outsourcing. Moreover, many foreign companies have recently entered the high-yield period, chemical parks in Shanghai and Nanjing, hazardous chemicals. Output will double within a year or two, and high-level supply chain logistics providers are in urgent need. Fifth, some domestic large-scale petrochemical enterprises have been under pressure from rising costs in recent years and are also considering logistics outsourcing.
Fortunately, last year, China's chemical logistics industry has witnessed rapid growth. The manufacturing and distribution companies have all attached great importance to logistics management technology. Third-party logistics has seen the fastest growth in recent years.
Joint development with manufacturing
One of the characteristics of economic development in the world today is the linkage development between the manufacturing industry and the logistics service industry. Under the background of a significant increase in production capacity in China's petrochemical industry, the industry and society are focusing on one topic: how to efficiently and safely realize the entire process from the manufacture, distribution, and delivery of goods, and to create maximum profits at a lower overall cost.
Wang Xiaopeng, general manager of Shanghai Sinotrans Chemical International Logistics Co., Ltd., said that the formation of a strategic partnership between multinational companies and large-scale integrated logistics companies is the development trend of international chemical logistics. Multinational companies are increasingly emphasizing supply chain integration and service outsourcing, making themselves stronger and expanding their core business, and hope that where their business goes, logistics service providers will follow. Wang Xiaopeng said that recently McKinsey conducted domestic market research on domestic and foreign chemical companies. The results show that foreign companies generally prefer large-scale logistics service providers with good reputation, complete qualifications, good assets, and strong investment ability. In outsourcing content, they tend to choose logistics outsourcing. Domestic-funded enterprises generally adopt a “small and complete†organizational model when they are relatively small. With the expansion of scale, the division of labor in competition and specialization has intensified, and companies have to outsource their logistics operations because of their own resources. Recently, some companies have called for the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between “manufacturing and logistics cooperation and innovation†and have received response from the industry.
Establishing a symbiotic relationship between the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry is also a matter of consideration for safe storage and transportation. There are more than 100,000 chemical companies in China and more than 50,000 kinds of chemical products are produced. In particular, the total production, use, transportation, and import and export volume of hazardous chemicals is large and varied, ensuring safe transportation is a hot spot for the state and society. Internationally The management and control of dangerous goods is also increasingly strict. Wang Xiaopeng said that transnational corporations are most concerned about HES and risk prevention. They believe that only a safety accident for a certain trip will result in a decline in the company’s social reputation. Therefore, they would rather hand over the services originally distributed to more than a dozen logistics service companies. One or two reputable supply chain service providers bear.
According to Zhao Ruihua of the State Administration of Work Safety Supervision and Administration, from the past, the accident analysis of dangerous chemicals had the reasons for equipment and the reasons for the violation, but in the final analysis, it was caused by human factors. Some personnel engaged in transportation of dangerous chemicals have weak legal awareness and low cultural quality. Therefore, petrochemical enterprises should select high-quality professional logistics companies to cooperate to ensure the safe storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals.
Hardware and software construction to the level
At present, the challenges faced by China's chemical logistics are mainly due to too few high-qualified large-scale logistics companies, inadequate conditions for safe transportation hardware and software, and international logistics giants entering China. In addition, with the government's increased supervision of hazardous chemicals, stricter regulations have been introduced for chemical logistics. Experts called for the establishment of first-rate chemical logistics companies and the deployment of first-rate logistics equipment. This is an urgent matter for the healthy growth of the chemical logistics industry.
Wang Xiaopeng said that at present, only 30 percent of domestic vehicles are transported using professional vehicles to transport hazardous chemicals. Among them are the reasons why transporters deliberately violated the rules and obtained illegal profits. The main reason is that they cannot find a qualified hazardous chemicals team in the area. For example, Shanghai has a fully equipped hazardous chemicals warehouse, but it is difficult to find in Guangzhou. Even if it is found, the rental price is several times more expensive than Shanghai. In the next year or two, multinational companies such as Bayer and BASF will multiply their production capacity in China. TDI, MDI and other hazardous chemicals, general warehouses and vehicles cannot be stored and transported, and there is currently a shortage of relevant resources in China. Wang Xiaopeng said that when many foreign companies choose logistics companies, they first look at whether there are resource conditions, require at least 50% to rely on the company itself, but also have the ability to integrate logistics, have a high degree of credibility. To this end, our company has invested heavily in the construction of hardware and software, the establishment of a domestic network, the general adoption of IT technology, and also in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone to build a logistics base.
Zhao Guoqiang, general manager of British Baoke Logistics (Beijing) Co., Ltd., said that 10 years ago, we entered China and started as an agent. Now our company's business has expanded to four major areas. The target market is large chemical companies and multinational companies, mainly engaged in liquid chemical logistics. And dry bulk cargo flow. Zhao Guoqiang, for example, stated that we have provided a comprehensive logistics solution for polymer particles to a foreign company in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone. It used to be a 25-kilogram small package. It is now replaced with a 20-ton large package and has specialized container transport vehicles to realize automation. Handling. Zhao Guoqiang disclosed that the IPO passengers have spotted the huge potential of the Chinese chemical logistics market and plan to transfer equipment manufacturing to China within three years, providing containerized tanks and other equipment for domestic and Asia-Pacific logistics merchants.
Tank containers can play a safe, efficient, and win-win performance in multimodal transport. According to Yuan Guofeng, general manager of Shanghai Ocean Shipping Chemical Logistics Development Co., Ltd., the company operates more than 3,000 international standard tank containers (ISO TANK), which provides logistics services for the import and export of liquid chemicals at major ports in China and the Asia Pacific region. Yuan Guofeng said that ISO TANK is a development trend of liquid chemical logistics. Its design, manufacture and certification can simultaneously meet the requirements of nearly 20 international, national or regional standards such as ASME and TC. A standard tank box can be compared with a standard full of drums. The container is loaded with more than 45% of liquid cargo, and it is convenient and quick, from the place of production to the user "door-to-door" in one step.
China International Marine Containers Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of tank containers and special vehicles for hazardous chemicals transportation, and its products have the largest market share in China. Dr. Zhou Qinqin of the Group’s Smart Security Research Center introduced the research and development of a new generation of smart tank storage and transportation equipment. The company integrates sensing technology, satellite positioning technology, telecommunications technology, testing and control technologies, and developed a smart tank storage system. The transportation equipment and its monitoring and tracking system have realized the digitalization of hazardous chemicals transportation and the intrinsic safety of transportation.
Crack policy and reform problems
The "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Service Industry" promulgated by the State Council last year is a major favorable policy for the development of the chemical logistics industry. Wang Ming, vice president of the National Transportation Research Institute’s Institute of Integrated Transportation and vice president of the China Logistics Association, pointed out that the domestic chemical logistics industry has a bright future, but faces many problems that need to be resolved on the way forward. Mainly manifested in: institutional management, the existence of irrational policies; the market is not standardized, serious security risks, more accidents; logistics companies generally small scale, service capacity and resistance to risk is weak; customer concept behind, recessive The cost is too high.
In response to the bottleneck encountered in the development of multimodal transport of domestic tank containers, Yuan Guofeng proposed that China’s railways accept dangerous goods in accordance with the “Rangerous Goods Names of Railwaysâ€, but they are not in line with international standards. At present, China’s railroads are quite strict with the transport of dangerous goods tanks. They only accept ordinary liquid cargo transportation. There are 2,187 dangerous goods transport stations in the whole road, of which 330 are special dangerous goods, and only 98 dangerous goods containers are special. Mass transit of ISO TANK on the railway. Yuan Guofeng hopes to expand the railway tank container business, give full play to the advantages of all-weather railways, large transport capacity, long distances, low freight rates, and extensive network coverage. It is recommended that relevant state departments formulate support policies and make cans based on safety and security measures. Containerized multimodal transport is mainly carried out by land and sea transport, and is converted into combined transport of sea, iron and inland water.
Regarding the establishment of a logistics risk management system, Gao Fuxing, general manager of Changjiang International Port Co., Ltd. of Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone, proposed that due to factors such as the national macro-control and tight foreign trade policies this year, the capital chain of some traders has been disrupted, warning that we should consider establishing a cargo control system. Management system, including risk identification, risk analysis, risk planning, risk internal control management, etc.
To solve the problems of China's backward supply chain management, lack of logistics facilities, and lack of logistics equipment, Wang Ming and other experts put forward proposals for deepening reforms: through the integration of social logistics resources, the central government, local governments, foreign capital, and private capital will be used to achieve linkage development; Strengthen capital investment and create a large number of high-quality large-scale service providers in the chemical supply chain; targeting large-scale petrochemical companies, parks, and regional characteristics of production and markets, establish large-scale logistics information and e-commerce platforms to achieve long Alignment of logistics areas in the Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Bohai Rim regions; adapt to service outsourcing needs, encourage the centralization and integration of logistics operations, centralize procurement, warehousing, transportation (ports, railways), and distribution (roads), through the establishment of “stations + The "transport + warehousing" model provides supply chain services based on logistics parks, logistics centers, and distribution centers for the production or sales of chemical companies; the logistics association conducts comprehensive assessment pilots for logistics companies and qualification certification for logisticians and cooperates with universities. Talent training, advancing senior logistics managers and international connections .

The newspaper has always paid great attention to the development of the liquid chemical logistics industry. From 2006 to 2007, China Chemical News organized a large-scale interview of “China's Chemical Logistics and Social Responsibilityâ€, and conducted consecutive reports for six months on China Chemical News. The reports were divided into Gold Coast articles and Yangtze River Waterway articles. The Yellow River Hope article, transnational company articles, and industry thinking articles have broken down China's liquid chemical logistics policies, equipment, and markets from different perspectives. In 2007, “China Chemical News†opened up a chemical logistics special edition. Once a week, it focused on the promotion and reporting of chemical logistics.
The annual China liquid chemical logistics summit organized by China Chemical News has been successfully held in Beijing, Shandong Rizhao and Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu for three times since 2005. Its influence in the chemical and logistics industries is also growing. The fourth summit held in Shanghai further enhanced the level of specialization. The summit invited the leaders and experts of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Communications, Tongji University, the China Port Association and other relevant departments to discuss the status and characteristics of domestic liquid chemical logistics. Development trends, etc. were analyzed and proposed policy expectations.
