Why It Matters

平陆运河构想源自百年前孙中山在《建国方略》中擘画的西江通北部湾向海蓝图,后被纳入国家重大规划,于2022年8月28日开工建设。

中新网南宁9月17日电 (记者 黄艳梅)16日,随着5000吨级货船鸣笛启航,西部陆海新通道骨干工程平陆运河建成通航。这条承载百年夙愿、历时四年建设的“世纪工程”,为中国西南地区打通了一条通往东盟运距最短、最经济、最便捷的出海新通道,西南出海格局迎来历史性重塑。

百年构想成为现实

百余年前,孙中山先生在《建国方略》中,擘画西江通北部湾向海蓝图,期许破解西南内陆出海困局。进入新时代,平陆运河建设被纳入国家重大规划,家国夙愿一步步走向现实。

平陆运河于2022年8月28日开工建设,总投资约727亿元(人民币,下同),全长134.2公里,北起南宁横州市西津库区平塘江口,南经钦州灵山县陆屋镇,沿钦江直通北部湾,是新中国成立以来首条国家层面统筹建设的通江达海运河。

平陆运河是中国国内通航等级最高的运河,按内河Ⅰ级标准建设,可通航5000吨级船舶。全线建成马道、企石、青年三大梯级枢纽。工程项目创造了四项“世界之最”:世界同类运河通航能力最强、世界同类船闸通航速度最快、世界省水船闸落差最高、世界内河省水船闸规模最大。

重塑西南物流格局

长期以来,西江干流自西向东,十万大山余脉横亘其间,广西无水道直接贯通北部湾。西南货物出海只能“舍近求远”,需沿西江向东绕行至广州港。

如今,平陆运河直接贯通西江航运干线与北部湾海域,让西南水运出海通道由“绕”变“直”,西南地区货物经运河出海较经传统路径出海缩短内河航程560公里以上。

广西百色西江投资发展有限公司董事长宁子然介绍,过去,百色大宗货物走传统西江航线出海,耗时12天至15天。改走平陆运河直达北部湾港,时间可缩短为5天至7天。

据测算,平陆运河通航后,西南地区货物出海综合物流成本预计下降18%至30%,每年可为全社会节约运输费用超50亿元。

当天,依托平陆运河通航这一重大历史机遇,南宁港—海南洋浦港内贸航线、南宁港—越南芹苴港外贸航线同步开通,实现内河直连海港、内陆直通东盟。其中,南宁港—越南芹苴港外贸航线是平陆运河通航后南宁直达东盟南部的关键跨境航运通道,实现南宁内河枢纽与越南湄公河三角洲核心港区无缝对接。

广西壮族自治区主席韦韬表示,平陆运河开辟了广西及西南地区运距最短、最经济、最便捷的出海大通道,系统提升了西部陆海新通道综合运输能力,将成为联结西南广阔腹地、东部发达地区、东盟潜力市场的重要枢纽,为新时代西部大开发、构建新发展格局注入强大新动能。

向海图强注入新动能

一河奔流,通达向海。依托平陆运河,广西、云南、贵州、四川、重庆和湖南等区域将实现“变身”。

“平陆运河通航对云南对外开放、产业发展具有里程碑意义。”云南省交通运输厅航务处相关负责人介绍,运河贯通后,云南货物可从富宁港经右江过百色枢纽,行至平陆运河,最终直达北部湾海域,全程仅约720公里,是云南出海最便捷的黄金水道。

“短期降物流成本、中期做强产业、长期提升开放能级,平陆运河将贵州近海、近边、近中心城市的潜在优势变为现实可能。”贵州省社会科学院党委书记黄朝椿说。

对广西首府南宁来说,这是一场颠覆性的变局。平陆运河通航后,南宁实现从内陆城市到江海枢纽的历史性跨越。

水道一通,港口功能的跃升将重塑城市形态和产业生态。南宁市官方表示,该市将扩大向海开放合作,打造新能源、有色金属精深加工及关键金属材料等四个千亿元级产业集群等,发展生物制造等新兴产业和未来产业,建设衔接粤港澳大湾区、面向东盟的先进制造业重要承载地。

“面向未来,广西将切实把平陆运河管理好、运营好,以此为支点撬动全区开放发展全局。”韦韬表示。

据介绍,广西将加快打造平陆运河经济带,加快全域向海发展,加快对内对外开放。广西将打造“叶脉式”向海产业布局,推动有色金属及关键金属材料等制造业十大现代化支柱产业及其产供链临港、沿通道、沿运河优化布局,同时强化以人工智能为引领的向海经济创新,发展壮大船舶与海洋工程装备等海洋产业。(完)
