A person from the Municipal Port and Port Bureau revealed in an online interview column on the government website yesterday that according to the unified plan of the whole province, the city will establish a Dalian ship trading market.

According to reports, in March 2010, the Ministry of Transport announced the implementation of the "Ship Transaction Management Regulations", requiring all provinces across the country to establish a ship trading market. At present, the preparatory work for the Dalian ship trading market is proceeding in an orderly manner. The future ship trading market will integrate the functions of ship trading, information release, ship brokerage, ship survey, and document processing. Dalian Ship Trading Market will be positioned as the largest ship trading market in the Northeast, and strive to become a well-known domestic ship trading market with a certain international influence.

It is understood that the purpose of establishing a ship trading market is to create a fair and open trading environment for both parties to ship transactions, regulate trading behavior, and strengthen the supervision of the flow of trading ships. Therefore, ship entry trading is not only a requirement of the "Ship Trading Management Regulations", but also an important means to protect the interests of both parties in a ship transaction. After the establishment of the ship trading market in our city, all ship transactions will be conducted on the market, and both parties to the transaction and intermediary agencies will accept market supervision. Dalian's water transport industry has developed rapidly. As of November 2010, there were 117 water transport companies in the city under industry management, with a total of 273 ships, 6.5 million deadweight tons, 17,832 passengers, and 1,027 parking spaces; the annual cargo volume was 91 million tons. Freight turnover is 542.5 billion ton-kilometers; passenger volume is 4.2 million person-times, passenger turnover is 580 million person-kilometers; 673 water transport service companies under industry management, including 88 international shipping agency companies, 50 ship management companies, and 134 non-vessel carrier companies Home.

According to relevant regulations, an enterprise operating Dalian coastal passenger transportation should own at least two passenger ships with a total of 300 passengers. When the ships are co-owned, the proportion of the ship's equity held by the operating company shall not be less than 51%. The newly-built ships are constructed in strict accordance with the technical specifications of the ship inspection department. FRP passenger ships no longer enter the Dalian coastal passenger transportation market. For the newly established Dalian coastal passenger transport enterprise, at least one corporate legal person who holds more than 25% of the shares and has an effective coastal passenger transport operating qualification for more than 3 years shall participate in the shares. After obtaining the operating qualification, the shareholding ratio shall not be less than 25% within 3 years.
