本文回顾了中国无水港的发展历程。在过去的十年里，无水港已经成为中国贸易便利化的组成部分，并在区域和经济发展中发挥了重要作用。陆港(离岸港口)的出现，部分原因是靠近主要人口中心或工业区，部分原因是需要支持快速增长的集装箱流量。然而，中国无水港的发展路径因其所处位置的不同而呈现出几个不同之处，本文对此进行了重点和解释。由于没有明确的定义，陆港发展的体制和监管框架被证明是不成熟和复杂的。虽然中央政府在现有监管框架下处理了相关的制度事项，但地方一级的决策是在市政机构的控制下进行的，为官员解释中央治理的意图提供了充足的空间。创新政策和关系管理是解决不同体制问题的主要工具；然而，缺乏一套统一的政策准则带来了许多法律挑战。本文针对在建立成熟的陆港设施过程中发现的问题提出了可能的解决办法，重点是对什么是陆港作出明确的法律定义。他们的核心目标、责任和运作方式由此而来。
This article reviews the development paths of dry ports in China. Dry ports have emerged as an integral part of trade facilitation in China in the last decade and have played an important role in regional and economic development. The emergence of dry ports (offshore ports) is driven partly by proximity to main population centres or industrial areas and partly by the need to support rapidly growing container flows. However, the development paths of Chinese dry ports show several differences, depending on their location, and this article highlights and explains these. Without a clear definition, the institutional and regulatory framework for dry port development is shown to be immature and complex. While the central government has dealt with relevant institutional matters under the existing regulatory framework, decision making at a local level is under the control of municipal bodies, providing ample space for officials to interpret the intentions of central governance. Innovative policies and relationship management are major tools for addressing different institutional problems; however, the lack of a uniform set of policy guidelines raises many legal challenges. This article suggests possible solutions to the problems identified during the establishment of mature dry port facilities, with priority being given to establishing a clear legal definition of what dry ports are. From this cascades their core purpose, responsibilities andmodus operandi.
