The regulations on foreign-invested international shipping industry and its auxiliary industry-related stock ratio restrictions have clearly defined the comprehensive opening up of the international shipping industry and its auxiliary industry at the regulatory level.

The foreign investment in the international shipping industry and its auxiliary industry will no longer be separately approved, but in accordance with the principle of consistent domestic and foreign investment, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the International Maritime Regulations. At the same time, the international container ship and general cargo ship transportation business, the container ship and general cargo ship transportation business between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao regions, and the non-vessel shipping business approval were cancelled and changed to the record, which was implemented by the provincial transportation authority.

"Non-" ships are available; enterprises that have obtained the qualifications for maritime transport operations between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao may, after approval or filing as required, may add a light-rental five-star flagship vessel to engage in maritime transport between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao in the corresponding business scope, canceling It is necessary to carry out the restrictions on maritime transportation between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macao with its own capacity.

Yi Jiyong said.
Yi Jiyong said that an important task of the transportation department this year is to promote the efficiency of port and port. The Ministry of Transport and the State jointly revised and issued the "Port Charges and Charges and Measures" to provide port operation services such as cargo port fees, port facility security fees, pilotage fees, and tugboat charges on domestic routes. The charging standards were reduced by 15%, 20%, 10%, and 5%, respectively, and the port operating service charges were reduced from 15 to 11.

Shipping is broadly defined as all business activities related to the sea. However, up to now, the shipping space we have mentioned is generally referred to as maritime transportation, such as bulk cargo transportation, container transportation and other port-to-port maritime transportation. However, the development of the shipping Internet at any time, especially the recent development of the Internet and the Internet predators such as Alibaba, the definition of later shipping may run through the sea and land, and it is expected to develop into a door-to-door transportation industry integrating marine and land transportation.
