II. Adjust Layout and Integrate Warehousing and Logistics Supply Systems
Suzhou Cosc Marine Machinery Co., Ltd. holds that it can be clearly observed from major domestic e‑commerce operators such as Alibaba that warehousing and logistics constitute bottlenecks restricting the development of online e‑commerce. Traditional domestic terminals not only boast advantages in import‑export seaborne cargo logistics, but also possess supporting warehousing and logistics facilities including sea‑rail intermodal transport, inland yards and inland ports within their logistics corridors, which enable them to better address logistics and warehousing bottlenecks.
Targeted adjustments carried out on the basis of clarified development orientations, together with collaboration with relevant cargo owners and upstream‑and‑downstream enterprises in logistics and supply chains, will help pool idle advantageous resources and improve wholesale businesses for small‑sized goods and inland cargo. Industrial linkages can further optimize the overall supply‑chain system, delivering more prominent competitive edges in future e‑commerce competition.
In terms of policy dividends, Suzhou Cosc Marine Machinery Co., Ltd. notes that terminal companies enjoy favorable national policies such as those for bonded port areas. This provides a solid policy foundation for container stuffing‑unstuffing and bulk‑processing operations, laying groundwork for future market price competition.
Take Dalian as an example. Imported and exported seafood and fruits are well‑known local commodities for domestic consumption, export and domestic sales. As is widely acknowledged, both seafood and seasonal fruits demand highly stringent cold‑storage and transportation conditions. According to Suzhou Cosc Marine Machinery Co., Ltd., if existing container refrigeration systems at ports are effectively utilized, inland cold‑chain enterprises can deliver refrigerated cargo to major cities nationwide, with subsequent distribution to specific regions via inland yards and inland ports. It is evident that traditional domestic terminals possess superior logistics conditions for tapping into the e‑commerce sector.
