China's million-ton freight ships "moved" to Azerbaijan, Baku port throughput increased 25 times, Poland was permanently "degraded"!
Poland probably feels that it holds the "death card" of Central European logistics, with a border port in the name of security, more than three hundred trains, millions of containers are all stuck in the middle of the road, full of the belief that China and Europe must cry and ask for it to open.
At that time, the Malasevich Port was so beautiful. In 2024, the freight volume increased by more than 10%, and the value of the goods was 25 billion euros. Local small restaurants also made a lot of money. Who expected this willfulness to directly play yourself out.
When Poland reopened the port in a panic, it was discovered that the goods had long since run away-China's 10,000-ton cargo ship had already turned its steering wheel to Baku Port in Azerbaijan, so it was still "stuck".
Some say that this is China's B plan, in fact, where, it is clearly the layout of many years, global logistics has already entered the "decentralization" era, Poland's "active pillar" of the bottom, lost and can never be picked back.
Baku port is not the sudden black horse. this place guarded the western shore of the Caspian Sea, right at the crossroads of Eurasia, China signed a cooperation agreement with Baku port in 2018, paid $ 70 million to upgrade the port, and also attracted Qingdao port to help undertake digital transformation.
At the start of the first cross-Kashmir flight in 2021, more than 200 checkboxes were delivered on a single trip, and the network could not be slowly laid out, and the local logistics enterprises hand in hand, and by 2024 the throughput directly increased by 73%, twice as much as when it was just started.
Now this new route goes well: Chinese goods through Kazakhstan to the Caspian Sea, by boat to Baku, then through Georgia and Turkey to Europe, the entire route arrives in 12 days, twice as fast as traditional maritime shipping, and the cost is also lower than pure land shipping.
Kazakhstan's Akku port is busy digging deep riverways to build ports, Azerbaijan's Apshelon logistics center is only 70 kilometers from the port of Baku, all the goods to the west are shipped here, and after cooperating with the port of Xi'an, Baney mentioned from the fourth to the fifth of the month a day, in the long run to the 50th of the month.
On the other side of Poland, it was bad, one port, a direct loss of $45 million a day, a year of light transit costs less than 500 million euros. before relying on logistics food storage, loading and unloading companies all off meals, the cargo shipment in Malawi fell 82%, the mayor shouted in the streets, saying that after that the children did not catch a Christmas gift.
But logistics is the thing that recognizes inertia the most. Cargo owners have tasted the stability of Baku Port. Who is willing to go back and suffer from the "impermanence of the switch"? Many logistics companies simply moved their equipment and employees to Baku. Once the stalls were spread out, there was no reason to move back.
It's not as simple as changing ports at all. China has long woven its logistics network into a large network, connecting goods from Japan and South Korea to the east, and transferring them to Baku to Europe via Qingdao Port; The trains from Shandong to the west walk around Russia, and the precision machinery from Sichuan is shipped out via Baku, with a total of over 110 million yuan.
These channels are connected to each other, without any of the nodes are not delayed, Poland previously accounted for 90 percent of the row of channels, has long become past style.
More importantly, trust is gone. On the Baku Port side, China helped to connect railways, highways and shipping, and the timeliness was improved by more than 30%. It also joined the local joint venture company to "weld" the line to death; However, Poland uses the economy as a political bargaining chip, sealing it for a while and opening it for a while. Who dares to put the main goods here?
Now the Central European line on the Russian route has dropped to 15%, everyone turns to the southern passage, and Poland can not even drink the soup in the middle.
In the end, Poland has made the problem of short-sightedness, thinking that holding a port can be priced all the time, not seeing clearly that China has divided the "egg" into different baskets.
The brighter the lights in the port of Baku, the colder the Polish landscape, that is the power of decentralization – no one is irreplaceable, a missed opportunity, it really can’t come back.
