Yantai port cargo volume up 6.1pc to 287 million tonnes in 2013
THE Port of Yantai in northern Shandong province, posted a 6.1 per cent year-on-year increase in overall cargo volume to 287 million tonnes in 2013, entering China's top 10 coastal ports rankings, reports Xinhua.
Five projects in its western port area, two 50,000-tonne universal berths in the Longkou port area and a 150,000-tonne terminal in the Qimu Island operating area, have been completed and put into operation.
In recent years, the Yantai port has developed itself into a chemical fertiliser logistics centre in north China, with the fertiliser exports accounting for more than 60 per cent of the total national market.
Also, it tried hard to make itself a ro-ro logistics base port for commercial vehicles and launched domestic trade ro-ro transport lines from Guangzhou to Yantai with the commercial vehicle exports reaching 52,000 units in 2013. Bauxite volume increased 90.5 per cent year on year through optimising its operation mode.
