In the work discussion before the signing ceremony, Ni Yuefeng, Secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, pointed out that Hebei is a major coastal province, and the three major ports of Tangshan Port, Huanghua Port and Qinhuangdao Port have a vast hinterland and huge development potential. Rich port resources are not only the development advantages of Hebei, but also an important foundation for promoting high-quality development.

Accelerate the integration of Hebei port resources, effectively ensure the safety of national energy transportation, and contribute to accelerating the construction of an economically powerful province and a beautiful Hebei.

Hebei Province rapidly promoted the integration of port resources in Hebei Province in mid-to-late July, announcing the integration of relevant provincial and municipal state-owned port enterprises within Hebei Province and the transfer of equity interests to Hebei Port Group Co., Ltd. Port Group Co., Ltd.". From July 19th to 25th, through the signing of a series of equity transfer agreements, Hebei Provincial SASAC and Tangshan City issued relevant approval documents, and within a week, Hebei Port Group completed the transfer of the equity of relevant state-owned port enterprises in the province and city. All signing of the free transfer agreement. As of the end of July, Hebei Port Group has acquired 100% equity of Tangshan Port Industrial Group Co., Ltd., 100% equity of Caofeidian Port Group Co., Ltd., 25% equity of Tangshan Caofeidian Industrial Port Co., Ltd., SDIC Caofeidian Port Co., Ltd. 24% equity, 25% equity of Huaneng Caofeidian Port Co., Ltd., and 6% equity of Tangshan Caofeidian Coal Port Co., Ltd., completing the most important step in the integration of Hebei port resources.

In recent years, Hebei port has been developing from the situation of "one coal dominance" to the distribution and distribution of various goods, and has transformed from a large collection and distribution port to a comprehensive trade port, and has made gratifying achievements in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the port. However, because the three ports and four districts of Qinhuangdao Port, Huanghua Port and Tangshan Port in Hebei Province have long been major coal energy transit ports, they have undertaken more than 80% of my country's north-south coal transportation tasks, and are responsible for the national energy transportation guarantee. In the early days, a situation in which multiple business entities such as local state-owned enterprises and central enterprises coexisted and held shares with each other. Among them, there are many giants in the energy field such as SDIC, National Energy, Huaneng, Huadian, Sinopec, and PetroChina. Among the local state-owned enterprises, in addition to the provincial and municipal state-owned enterprises in Hebei Province, there are also coal upstream and downstream related enterprises. State-owned enterprises in the province participate in the shareholding. Most of the port and terminal projects invested and constructed by central enterprises are also an important part of the integration of mining, roads, ports, electricity, aviation and oil, and are usually controlled or held by relevant central enterprises. This situation also increases the difficulty of integrating port resources at the provincial level. It is worth noting that Hebei Province began to integrate the shoreline resources of provincial ports as early as 2009. At that time, the Hebei Port Group was established with Qinhuangdao Port Group as the main body. Although it is a provincial port enterprise in terms of its name, after its establishment, it is mainly responsible for the integration of new port resources and the investment and construction of new wharf projects in Caofeidian Port Area in Tangshan and Huanghua Port Area in Cangzhou to promote the province's ports. The difficulty of resource integration is evident from this.

After the Hebei Provincial Government and SDIC Group signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement yesterday, it also means that after completing the important step of integrating the equity of all provincial and municipal state-owned port enterprises, Hebei will join hands with central enterprises to promote the further integration of port resources. At present, SDIC Group mainly invests in coal port projects such as SDIC Caofeidian Port and SDIC Jingtang Port in Hebei Province. Editor/Zhao E
