Second, why is Tianjin no longer a giant?

Shipping is gone, which means the boat is gone, means that the service had gone, primary goods or part of a problem.

This may make a big impact, to know that several boats had not shipping, the concept of a few people, maritime shipping center has at least two conditions:

One: the goods came, a boat can get to your destination, which requires route dense container hub port, deep-water channel, collection and distribution network and other hardware facilities;

Two: to provide services for the ship, crew, foreign trade, relying on the port city needs to have a strong financial , trade, information and other software features.

Visible, the shipping industry is quite complex system, each of which can be extended into a service industry , and behind this is related to the employment and taxes.

This is an important reason why the Dalian economy has been devastated.
