39. Lower Reaches Projections - 1  The lower reaches of the Yangtze River runs through a single province, Jiangsu, encompassing ten river ports  The top four ports along the Yangtze River, by TEU throughput, are Taicang, Nanjing, Zhangjiagang and Jiangyin, all located in the lower reaches  The lower reaches container activity accounted for 78% of total Yangtze River container activity  Suzhou Port as a combined port group, is the largest container and general cargo port along the Yangtze River  In 2008, Taicang surpassed Nanjing to become the largest container port along the Yangtze River Jon Monroe Consulting39

40. Lower Reaches Projections - 2  In 2009, Zhangjiagang surpassed Nantong to become the largest general cargo port along the Yangtze River  Most of the manufacturing activity in the lower reaches has been contained in South Jiangsu  As manufacturing activity moves north in Jiangsu Province, Nantong becomes a more viable port, putting it in a more strategic position relative to the other Yangtze River ports  The close proximity of the ten lower reaches ports will create a competitive environment due to the overlapping hinterlands  Logistics facilities are moving from Shanghai to lower reaches cities like Nanjing, Suzhou and Kunshan Jon Monroe Consulting40

49. Summary Jon Monroe Consulting49

50. Yangtze River Summary  Yangtze River may well become the world’s largest economic corridor by 2020  China’s central planning will encourage western movement and cooperation as well as competition among city’s and ports  The river can be regionalized into four sections: upper, middle, lower and delta & coastal  Rapid urbanization and an improved infrastructure will drive this process  Port development capacity may well exceed demand  By 2020, China will have the most sophisticated manufacturing and transportation infrastructure in the world connecting ports and cities via rapid rail, road and air networks.  This will be supported by a shift from dependence on exports to a more balanced trade flow and a strong domestic economy Jon Monroe Consulting50
