| 摘要： | Free ports are uncommon within the European Union and thus, one part of the UK's plan to prepare for its exit from the group was to look into and establish free ports to secure valuable trade deals that would not be affected by customs tariffs and complicated trade regulations. The first of 10 free ports are currently slated to open at the end of 2021. Globally, there are about 140 countries that have free trade zones (FTZ). A US Congressional Research Service report, US foreign trade zones: background and issues for Congress, published in 2019, estimated that there were around 5,300 free ports worldwide with over 400 in development. Looking at the global top 25 ports with FTZs by throughput using IHS Markit Ports and Terminals data - as seen on the map - all ports feature breakbulk, dry, and liquid bulk facilities. Except for Saldanha Bay, all have container terminals. Beaumont, Bremerhaven, Guangzhou, Long Beach, Saldanha Bay, Tangshan, and Trieste ports do not have gas facilities. Meanwhile, Richards Bay, South Louisiana, and Bahia Blanca ports do not have ro-ro terminals. |
