2.    Executive summary


Importance of yangshan port

Development of port and shipping economic of yangshan port has become an important support to deepen national strategy. It is the biggest artificial deep-water port. The volumes of containers has accounted for nearly half the total number in Shanghai port

Unfavorable factors in sailing

Only the annual average economic benefit impact of port production enterprise is as high as 640 million yuan due to poor visibility caused the ship grounded or dredge. Surrounding is fishing grounds and the port is located in the north-south intersection route of coastal seaborne artery, forming, medium and small vessels and fishing boats gathered water traffic intersection area, in which has a high frequency for water accident. This  puts forward new challenge to  maritime security.

Purposes of construction

Improve navigational safety guarantee system in poor visibility. Provide comprehensive, timely, reliable and efficient navigation information and facility Services for vessels

lProvide a comprehensive support service platform for command scheduling management. As a information sharing, survival and relying on platform of comprehensive business management such as shipping companies, ports, freight forwarders, logistics and so on
