Why is Ningbo Zhoushan Port building five tens of millions of TEUs port areas? #Ningbo Zhoushan Port # Port # Standard Container
Recently, the Phase II of Liuhengfo Ferry at Zhoushan Port in Ningbo has successfully obtained the project code from the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Marine Economic Development. Behind this lies a big move being made by Ningbo Zhoushan Port - to build "five million TEUs port areas".
Let's first look at Chuanshan and Beilun. Chuanshan Port Area has the world's second largest bulk container terminal, with a stable capacity of tens of millions of containers throughout the year; Beilun Port Area is a veteran backbone, witnessing the rise of modern freight forwarding. Two deep water shorelines operate day and night, making them the most densely packed "check-in spots" for ultra large container ships worldwide.
Let's take a look at the vanguard of intelligent transformation - Meishan Port Area. The fully automated bridge crane and unmanned container truck collaborate to achieve a throughput of over 10 million TEUs in 2024, accelerating the development of a smart port.
Who is responsible for the remaining increment? Look at Jintang and Liuheng. As the core of Zhoushan Port, Jintang has superior deep-water conditions and multiple large deep-water berths; The Liuhengfo Ferry operation area, which has been assigned a code this time, plans to construct 7 large container berths. After completion, it will further enhance the deep-water container operation capacity of Ningbo Zhoushan Port.
Someone may ask: Why is Ningbo Zhoushan Port still under construction despite its throughput ranking among the top three in the world? becauseAs the ship gets bigger and the route becomes denser, whoever has enough water depth and berths can keep the ship. So building five million level standard container port areas is not about grabbing the current container volume, but about taking the initiative in the future.How did you play this chess game at Ningbo Zhoushan Port?
