A Study of Exploring the Second Channel for Yangshan Deep-Sea Port

Abstract:

Yangshan Port, one of the most essential hardware of Shanghai International Shipping Centre, accounts for more than one-third of the total throughput of Shanghai Port. However, as ocean transport develops rapidly, Donghai Bridge, the only channel from the port to economic hinterland, indicates high risks of unavailability and insecurity. The aim of this paper is to investigate the solution for solving this disputed contradiction by exploring the second channel. This paper analyzes the real situation about Yangshan Port and the necessity for the second channel in security and transportation structure aspect. Furthermore, this paper also studies and compares three alternatives through technical and economic assessment and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. The results show that the highway-railway dual-purpose tunnel is the most feasible and effective solution, which provides some advice and references to the continuous development and improvement of Yangshan Port.
