Focusing on institutional cost reduction, Zhejiang Province will focus on optimizing the market-oriented environment and support private enterprises to participate in railway freight infrastructure construction and railway freight market-oriented operation; optimize the fair competition environment, and continuously crack down on and standardize the overload and over-limit and unfair competition of freight vehicles; optimize the open sharing environment, make good use of the Four-port Linkage cloud platform, strengthen information sharing of vehicles, cargo, and warehouses; optimize and facilitate customs clearance environment, and focus on improving customs clearance efficiency in ports, airports, etc. Focusing on structural cost reduction, Zhejiang will improve the facility energy level and vigorously promote the construction of major projects such as shipping Zhejiang and trunk railways and port-driving railways; adjust the freight structure, and focus on guiding the open to water and road to rail of bulk cargo and medium- and long-distance freight to open to water and open to rail; and promote the three network integration of the highway network, railway network, and water transportation network. In addition, Zhejiang will focus on network cost reduction to solve the difficulty of project implementation, land use guarantee, and industrial agglomeration; focus on industry cost reduction, and strive to reduce the five types of costs of bulk circulation costs, cross-border logistics costs, manufacturing logistics costs, cold chain logistics costs, and mountainous island logistics costs; focus on technical cost reduction, promote digital and intelligent empowerment, green empowerment, and standardized empowerment; focus on factor cost reduction, and promote two increases and two decreases. In recent years, Zhejiang has achieved phased results by implementing the four-port linkage of seaports, airports, landports and information ports. In the next step, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Transportation will focus on strengthening infrastructure energy improvement and transportation network efficiency improvement to help logistics reduce costs, improve quality and efficiency. We strive to reduce the ratio of total social logistics expenses to GDP to about 13% by 2027.
