One Belt And One Road will accelerate the transformation of logistics enterprises

The development of globalization has brought huge logistics demands. At the same time, it also requires the transformation of logistics services into end-to-end and all-round supply chain services, so as to accelerate the improvement of logistics efficiency and create more value.This is particularly evident in the construction of One Belt And One Road.

The improvement of people's living standards in countries along the "One Belt And One Road" will release a huge demand market and further promote the development of cross-border e-commerce.After B2C, B2B cross-border e-commerce model has become a new growth point."Area" construction will promote to form a new unified big market, with overseas investment and international cooperation capacity will produce engineering logistics demand and the smooth flow of production factors in the area of will produce a large number of integrated logistics demand, logistics enterprises in China, from the perspective of the project logistics, to comprehensive logistics development, deep tillage overseas markets."Said zhang jianwei, commercial director of China merchants bureau group and vice chairman of China foreign transportation changhang group co., LTD., at the 7th world business leaders conference in kunshan.

The construction of One Belt And One Road brings both opportunities and challenges to logistics enterprises. Jian-wei zhang specific points out that, on the one hand, is the logistics infrastructure interconnectivity challenges, various countries do not match the gauge, change ability is uneven, also become the normal operation of trains, improve the efficiency of the major bottlenecks, and along the national port operation efficiency is low, lack of interoperability. According to statistics, the average detention time of china-europe liner goods at ports accounts for 30% of the total transport time. In the time of stay at the port, the detention caused by documents, customs inspection and other factors accounts for 60%, and the detention caused by other factors such as capacity connection accounts for 40%. There are also trade facilitation challenges. "Area" all the way west to cargo, east to the goods quantity is little, two-way trade imbalances increased the rate of empty and reverse logistics cost, impact on the development of trade facilitation, and all the way "area" cross-border electricity has not yet formed a unified international rules, the customs of cross-border B2C commodity attribute definition, tax policy and regulation mode difference is bigger, increased uncertainty in the development of cross-border electricity.

"These difficulties are also a significant space for the development of logistics enterprises." Jian-wei zhang said, at present, in the construction of "area" all the way along the national infrastructure construction of project logistics demand rapid growth, and on China's logistics enterprises in product design, operation mode, organization structure, human resource construction put forward higher requirements. In this context, Chinese logistics enterprises actively practice, innovate cooperation models and promote win-win cooperation.

In recent years, China's sinotrans changhang in "neighbourhood" all the way along the route of 33 countries and regions with 80 overseas branches, for the "going out" the internationalization of Chinese enterprises to provide a more efficient, ShuDeHua logistics solutions. In addition to careful distribution of overseas logistics service network, China's logistics industry such as China merchants bureau has also increased investment in logistics infrastructure along the "One Belt And One Road" line. CMB has 49 ports in 19 countries and regions. By the end of 2016, its overseas assets totaled more than 450 billion yuan.
