China’s expanding investment in global ports

http://country.eiu.com/article.aspx?articleid=1125980496&Country=China&topic=Economy&subtopic=Regional+developments&subsubtopic=Investment

China is making strides towards establishing itself as a maritime power. Besides enhancing the capabilities of its navy, it is also investing heavily in global port infrastructure. From mid-2016 to mid-2017 Chinese firms announced around US$20bn-worth of investment in nine overseas ports, around double that for the year-earlier period. However, several political and economic risks have to be navigated to ensure that this investment delivers returns.

The pace of China's investment in port infrastructure has been picking up. Based on The Economist Intelligence Unit's research, Chinese companies had confirmed seaport investments or port ownership in 34 countries by September 2017, with 12 planned investments in another eight countries.

nr 5

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been the main investors in overseas ports. The pioneer was state-owned COSCO Shipping, the country's biggest shipping line. It has focused on acquiring ports at key nodes within global shipping routes, such as Piraeus (Greece), Euromax (Netherlands) and Said (Egypt). Most of its port investments are in developed countries.

Another SOE, China Merchants Group, is a relative latecomer, but is investing heavily in emerging markets. By end-2016 the company owned or had operational rights to 40 ports in 22 countries, including Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Togo and Djibouti, based on our research. Even in the US, where ports are often off-limits for foreign investors, China Merchants has acquired small stakes in ports in Houston and Miami by buying Terminal Link, a French shipping line.

Most existing or planned investments by Chinese companies have been in deep-sea ports. Since the 2008–09 global financial crisis, the world's merchant fleets have developed ever-larger shipping vessels in order to reduce costs. Deep-sea ports servicing these vessels are more likely to prosper.

Three "blue economic passages"

Planned port investments are mostly along three "blue economic passages", an initiative announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner, that aims to connect Asia with Africa, Oceania and Europe under the banner of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The main focus of attention is the "passage" running from China to the Indian Ocean, Africa and onto the Mediterranean. This is tied to other flagship BRI projects, such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Along this route, Chinese companies have already made port investments in Gwadar (Pakistan), Colombo and Hambantota (both in Sri Lanka). Four different initiatives are planned for Malaysia. Plans to invest in Tanjung Priok (Indonesia) and Kyaukpyu (Myanmar) are also under negotiation.

The second passage connects with Australia and the Southern Pacific. Australia is the second-largest recipient of accumulated Chinese overall investment. Chinese companies have invested in ports in Darwin, Newcastle and Melbourne. The Port of Darwin exports 35% of Australian livestock and the Port of Newcastle exports 40% of Australian coal; China is a major importer of both products.

The third passage, connecting China with Europe via the Arctic Ocean, is less developed but potentially significant as it could cut shipping times by several days. Planned Chinese-backed projects, under negotiation or bidding, include port investments in Arkhangelsk (Russia), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Kirkenes (Norway) and a deep-sea port in a fjord in northern Iceland.

Why ports?

There are obvious economic benefits that explain China's investment in port infrastructure. China is the world's largest exporter and second-largest importer—its economy is intertwined with global trade. Japan in the 1980s and South Korea in the 1990s also invested heavily in overseas ports as they expanded their global trade footprint. China sees particular potential in developing economies, where trade growth is likely to be strongest in the coming years.

Besides facilitating trade, ports provide broader economic value, such as valuable data on logistics and the local economy. They offer an opportunity to develop related maritime services—including insurance, consulting and the compilation of key industrial indices. Port construction also offers a release valve to China's construction and machinery sectors, which are both suffering from domestic overcapacity. According to local media, China Communications Construction, the world's largest port-building company, had built 95 deep-water berths and sold over 750 shipping container cranes outside China by end–2016.

More controversially, there are strategic advantages from port investment, too, as they bring with them tighter control of key sea lanes and energy supply routes. China's interest in Gwadar, which the state-owned China Overseas Ports has operated since 2013, stems from the opportunity it provides to transport crude oil from the Middle East to western China without having to transit through the Strait of Malacca. There are also potentially military uses from port development, such as the case for ports in Gwadar, Djibouti and the Seychelles. While Colombo and Piraeus have not received official confirmation, they have both had high-profile visits from the Chinese navy.
