What are the Yangtze River Delta ports

Overview of Yangtze River Delta ports

The Yangtze River Delta port group is mainly responsible for the Yangtze River Economic Zone maritime transit as well as the hinterland. It has formed a development pattern centered on the above seaport, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the north and south wings respectively. The south wing has two relatively high-quality ports, Ningbo Port and Zhoushan Port, and almost every city in the north wing has its own port. In terms of port positioning, Shanghai Port mainly serves as a transshipment hub port for near- and far-oceanic cargo and container transportation on the Yangtze River, and is positioned as an international hub port and shipping center; Ningbo's Beilun Port, Suzhou's Taicang Port, and Nanjing Port are positioned as regional hub ports that can undertake near-oceanic transportation. The Taicang port in the north wing serves as a bulk cargo port supporting the Shanghai port, and the Ningbo port in the south wing becomes the deep-water outer port of Shanghai by virtue of its water depth; the Nantong port, the Zhenjiang port, the Yangzhou port, the Jiangshui port, the Zhoushan port, the Taizhou port and other ports serve as the general feeder ports.

Divided by administrative area, the Yangtze River Delta port group can be roughly divided into three parts: Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In terms of the nature of Yangtze River Delta ports, it can be further divided into three parts: seaports, Yangtze River ports and other river ports. By the end of 2003, there were 322 inland river ports in the Yangtze River Delta region, including 40 in Shanghai, 165 in Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou, 33 in Nantong, 53 in Hangjiahu (referring to the Yangtze River system only), 22 in the Yu River system, and 9 in the Cao'e system. From the current situation, the Yangtze River Delta region has formed China's largest port group consisting of the above seaports, Ningbo Port, Zhoushan Port, Nanjing Port, Zhenjiang Port, Nantong Port, etc., of which there are 19 coastal ports and 10 inland river ports. Seaports mainly include Shanghai Port, four ports in Zhejiang (Ningbo-Zhoushan, Jiaxing, Taizhou and Wenzhou) and Lianyungang in Jiangsu. Yangtze River ports include Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi (Jiangyin Port), Suzhou (the three ports of Zhangjiagang, Changshu, and Taicang are combined to form the Port of Suzhou), Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Nantong. In addition, there are other non-Yangtze river ports in the cities of Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou. In addition, the main port of Shanghai is the seaport (Yangshan Port), but it also includes the Yangtze River mouth port area (Waigaoqiao), Wusongkou port area, Huangpu River port area, and inland river ports. Nantong and Yancheng both have seaports under construction (e.g. Dafeng, Lvsi, Yangkou, etc.). Shanghai Port

As of the end of 2003, the seaport has 1,202 berths of all kinds of terminals, including 164 berths above 10,000 tons, and the inland river port area*** has more than 3,250 berths. Inland waterway transportation mainly communicates with Zhejiang Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou area and Jiangsu Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou area, etc. It mainly undertakes the transportation function of building materials required for the construction of Shanghai urban infrastructure and the transportation function of electric coal and mining materials in the Yangtze River Delta area. 2008 container throughput through Yangtze River shipping in and out of Shanghai ports was 3,908,000 TEUs, which has become an important water-to-water transshipment channel of Shanghai ports. In 2009, the cargo throughput of the whole port was 592 million tons, up 1.8% year-on-year, and hit a record high. Jiangsu ports

As of the end of 2003, Jiangsu Province ports **** 386, 9,204 berths, 165 10,000-ton berths, with an annual cargo throughput of 496,660,000 tons, containers 1,742,300 TEUs. 4 major seaports, namely, Lianyungangang, Dafeng, Yangkou and Lvshi ports, and the main inland ports of 8, namely, Nanjing port, Nantong port, Rugao Port, Jiangyin Port, Xuzhou Port, Changzhou Port, Zhenjiang Port, Taicang Port. Among them, Suzhou Port is the largest port in the province, and also the first largest port for inland waterway transportation in mainland China. Focus on the construction of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou and Nantong four hundred million tons of large ports, the formation of containers, ores, coal, crude oil, four key types of cargo specialization and intensive layout. Zhejiang port

As of the end of 2003, the province's coastal ports have 944 productive berths, of which 67 berths above the 10,000-ton level, *** there are five major ports, including one inland port, that is, Hangzhou Port, four coastal ports, that is, Ningbo - Zhoushan Port, Wenzhou Port, Jiaxing Port and Taizhou Port. At present, the coastal ports have basically formed a hierarchical layout with Ningbo-Zhoushan Port as the center, Jiaxing, Wenzhou and Taizhou as the backbone, and other small and medium-sized ports in other places developed accordingly, among which Ningbo Port and Wenzhou Port have been included in the 20 main hub ports along the coast of the country by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. 2009, cargo throughput of ports in Zhejiang Province exceeded one billion tons, with a year-on-year growth of 6.7%, and container throughput of 11.1 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. In 2009, the cargo throughput of Zhejiang ports exceeded 1 billion tons, with a year-on-year growth of 6.7%, and the container throughput was 11.1 million TEUs.
