List of ports in China
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia
China's coastal ports enable the transportation of coal, containers,
imported iron ore,
and grain; roll-on-roll-off operations between mainland and islands; and
deep-water access to the sea.
In
port construction, China has especially strengthened the container transport system, concentrating on the construction of a group of
deep-water container wharves at Dalian,Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen and Shenzhen, and thus laying the foundations for China's
container hubs. A new deep-water port has opened in Yangshan SW of Shanghai.
The
coal transportation system has been further strengthened with the construction
of a number of coal transport wharves.
In addition, wharves handling crude oil and iron ore imports have been
reconstructed or expanded.
At
the end of 2004, China's coastal ports had over 2,500 berths of medium size or
above, of which 650 were 10,000-ton-class berths; their handling capacity was
61.5 million standard containers for the year, ranking first in the world.
Freight volumes handled by some large ports exceed 100 million tons a year; and
the Shanghai, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo and Dalian
have been listed among the world's top 50 container ports.
130
of China's 2,000 ports are open to foreign ships. The major ports,[citation needed] including river ports accessible by ocean-going ships, are Beihai, Dalian, Dandong, Fuzhou,Guangzhou, Haikou, Hankou, Huangpu, Jiujiang, Lianyungang, Nanjing, Nantong, Ningbo, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao, Rizhao, Sanya, Shanghai, Shantou, Shenzhen, Tianjin,Weihai, Wenzhou, Xiamen, Yangzhou, Yantai, and Zhanjiang.
