With the effective national macro-control policies, China’s economy is developing steadily in 2004. Under the drive of the fast-growing national economy, cargo handling capacity of ports in China continues its rapid growth and breaks the record again in 2004.
By the end of September 2005, the total output of ports nationwide maintains a good momentum. There is a steady increase in the main economic indices of cargo throughput, foreign trade throughput and container throughput. The cargo handling capacity of major ports added up to 2.8798 billion tons in the first three quarters, increased by 18.3% over the same period last year. Of which, the handling capacity of major coastal ports reached 2.14548 billion tons with an increase rate of 18.5% year on year, while major inland ports handled 734.32 million tons, a 17.8% increase compared with the same period last year. The growth margin still retains a higher level. Foreign trade cargo throughput of major ports nationwide is growing steadily amounting to 999.62 million tons, increased 19.2% than the same period last year.

In 2006, the general home and foreign environment for the development of the national economy is positive. However, the economic growth is under the pressure of both further adjustment and over-supply brought about by excessive production capacity.
The development of China’s port industry is closely related to foreign trade import & export. Handling capacity and foreign trade cargo throughput of major ports increased by 11.29% and 14.70% respectively on average during1991-2004. What’s more, the average increase of container throughput reached as high as 30.05% which is higher than an 18.38% rise in foreign trade import & export and a 9.69% increase in GDP. According to 1.8977 demand parameter (the growth rate of import & export/the increase rate of GDP) of GDP and foreign trade import & export as well as an average increase of 18.38% in trading in 1991-2004, the total volume of foreign trade import& export will keep an average increase of 20% annually during 2005-2007 in which an annual increase rate of 18.11% will be in profit earnings of the port industry. China’s port industry will maintain rapid development in 2005-2007 and develop into its mature period after 2007. Meanwhile, handling capacity of ports will be enhanced in virtue of the emergency of numerous new ports
