overview of port area

Ningbo Port is a multifunctional and comprehensive modern deep-water port integrating inland river port, estuary port and seaport.

there are 5 large-scale deep-water berths above 1, tons.

mainly engaged in loading, unloading, storage and transit of imported iron ore, domestic and foreign trade containers, crude oil and refined oil, liquid chemical products, coal and other bulk goods.

In 25, the cargo throughput of Ningbo Port reached 269 million tons, up by 19.% year-on-year.

the throughput continues to maintain the second place among mainland ports.

In 25, the container throughput of Ningbo Port was 5,28,1 TEUs, an increase of 3.%.

The throughput exceeded 5 million TEUs for the first time, ranking fourth among mainland ports and ranking among the top 2 ports in the world.

Historical evolution

Ningbo Port, an ancient port with a history of more than 1,2 years, has made great strides from ancient times to modern times and the world since the reform and opening up, especially after the development in the Ninth Five-Year Plan period.

according to historical records, Ningbo port originated from the ancient Hemudu.

in 752 ad (the 11th year of Tang tianbao), three Japanese envoys docked in Ningbo, marking the official opening of Ningbo port.

with a long history of more than 1, years, Ningbo Port has experienced many hardships and weather-beaten.

by 1949, the cargo throughput of Hong Kong was only 4, tons.

The establishment of the new China has given a new life to the declining Ningbo Port, and the port is developing rapidly.

in 1973, according to the spirit of Premier Zhou Enlai's three-year instruction to change the port appearance, Ningbo Port started the construction of Zhenhai Port Area, which made this ancient port with a history of more than 1, years make its first historic leap from inland port to estuary port.

on January 1th, 1979, the first steel pile was laid at sea for the main project of Beilun 1,-ton imported iron ore transfer terminal supporting Shanghai Baosteel, and the development and construction of Beilun Port Area began, thus making the ancient Ningbo Port go out of Yongjiang River and completing the second historic leap from Hekou Port to seaport.

since the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, it has been the fastest period in the development history of Ningbo Port.

in 1978, Ningbo port had only 11 berths of 5-3 tons, with an annual throughput of 97, tons and an annual cargo throughput of 2.14 million tons.

By 23, there were 198 productive berths in Hong Kong, including 37 large berths above 1, tons.

among the 1,-ton berths, there are 23 super-large deep-water berths ranging from 5, tons to 25, tons.

in 23, the cargo throughput of Hong Kong was 185 million tons, and the container throughput was 2.772 million TEUs.

compared with 22, it increased by 2% and 48.6% respectively.

is one of the fastest growing ports in mainland China.

Ningbo Port is endowed with unique natural conditions.

The water depth of the waterway in Beilun Port Area is generally 3 meters to 1 meters, which can meet the needs of 2,-3,-ton giant ships entering the port. The developable deep-water coastline is 12 kilometers, which has broad development and construction prospects. Ningbo Port is located at the intersection of "T" route between China coast and Yangtze River golden waterway, with moderate location and convenient internal and external radiation; The north of Beilun Port Area has Zhoushan Islands as a natural barrier, and the port area is calm, so the investment in port construction is economical and beneficial. And the land behind the deep-water coastline is flat and wide, which is extremely beneficial to the development of port storage, warehousing and coastal industry.

excellent port conditions are valuable resources for the country.

in 1989, the state decided that Beilun Port Area of Ningbo Port was one of the four international deep-water transit ports that Chinese mainland focused on developing and constructing.

Ningbo Port will speed up the construction of five bases: imported iron ore transit, international container ocean transit, large crude oil and refined oil transit, large coal storage transit and large liquid chemical products storage transit, and build a modern international port.

By 27, the international first-class deep-water hub port and international container ocean-going trunk port will be basically built, and the deep-water outer port of Shanghai International Shipping Center will become the logistics leader of Zhejiang Province and Ningbo City, and five transit bases and port logistics information platforms for containers, ores, crude oil, coal and liquid chemicals will be built in an all-round way; Hong Kong's cargo throughput reached 2 million tons, striving to enter the world's five major ports; The container throughput in Hong Kong will reach more than 5 million TEU, and strive to enter the top 15 ports in the world and the top 4 ports in China.

Natural conditions

Ningbo Port is located in the middle of the coastline of mainland China, with a moderate geographical position, and is a famous deep-water port in Chinese mainland.

Ningbo Port has unique natural conditions and convenient internal and external radiation.

outward, directly facing east Asia and the whole Pacific rim.

It is within 1 nautical miles from the sea to Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Busan, Osaka and Kobe. Inward, it can not only connect coastal ports, but also communicate with the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through river-sea combined transport, directly covering the whole East China region and the economically developed Yangtze River basin. It is an ideal distribution center for China's coastal ocean transportation radiation to ports in America, Oceania and South America.

Ningbo port has a small depth and wind waves.

The water depth of the approach channel is more than 18.2 meters, and 3,-ton ships can enter and leave the port at the tide.

The exploitable deepwater coastline is more than 12km, which has broad development and construction prospects.

Zhoushan Islands is a natural barrier in the north of Beilun Port Area, so it is not necessary to build a breakwater to build a wharf in Beilun Port Area, which is economical in investment and high in benefit, and the land behind the deep-water coastline is wide, which is extremely beneficial to the development of port storage, storage and coastal industry.

collection and distribution conditions

Ningbo Port has initially formed an omni-directional three-dimensional collection and distribution network such as expressways, railways, aviation and river-sea combined transport, and water-water transfer.

4 new routes were opened throughout the year, and the top 2 liner companies in the world have all settled in "Ningbo Port", and the average number of flights per month has exceeded 6.

development prospect

with the start of the integration process of "Ningbo-Zhoushan" port, the comprehensive strength and competitiveness of Ningbo port will be accelerated and more space will be expanded for future development.
