Shanghai is expected to become a global shipping center. The Yangtze River estuary, where Shanghai is located, is not deep enough due to sediment accumulation and cannot accommodate the navigation and berthing needs of large container ships and cruise ships. luxury. There is an urgent need to build a deep-water port. After the completion of Yangshan Deepwater Port, Shanghai became the busiest container port in the world.
Shanghai Yangshan deep-water port is located in the rugged archipelago outside the mouth of Hangzhou Bay. It includes Xiaoyangshan Island, Donghai Bridge and Yangshan Port Area. It opened on December 10, 2005. company It belongs to Shanghai Port District, and its administrative division belongs to Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province. The total planned area of Yangshan Port is more than 25square kilometers, including four port areas in the east, west, south and north. According to the principle of one-time planning and phased implementation, it will be constructed in four phases. 2002 to 2020.
Detailed information
Selecting the Yangshan Deepwater Port site has four major advantages. It exceeded 15 million TEUs in 2012
Oriental Network 12 News March 10: At the press conference of the municipal government held this afternoon, Shen Jun, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and executive deputy commander-in-chief of the deep-water port technical construction headquarters, said that the choice of the Yangshan deep-water port site has four major advantages. By 2012, Yangshan Deepwater Port will be able to deploy more than 30 berths, with a throughput capacity of more than 15 million TEUs.
Shen Jun presented thatYangshan Deepwater Port Area of Shanghai International Maritime Center is located southeast of Shanghai Nanhui Lucchao Port, outside the mouth of Hangzhou Bay and the estuary of the Yangtze River, 27.5 kilometers from Nanhui Lucchao Port and. just 104 kilometers from international roads. It is the closest reasonable port site to Shanghai with a water depth of more than 15 meters.
Advantage 1: It provides superior conditions for the construction of a port area and a waterway with a water depth of -15 meters. The Yangshan sea area has strong currents and sediments are not easy to be deposited, and the seabed in the sea area has been basically stable for nearly a hundred years.
Advantage 2: It can ensure the safety of navigation, docking and berthing of ships. The port project plan has been repeatedly demonstrated through test sur models, which show that after the implementation of the project, there will be almost no impact on natural conditions, the original water depth can be maintained, and the large and small island chain of Yangshan will form. a natural barrier and docking stability conditions will be good.
Advantage 3: Engineering technology and economics are feasible. The geological conditions of the project water area are good and the conditions for the construction of a port are met. Additionally, there are precedents around the world for building long-distance sea bridges.
Advantage 4: It complies with the law of the world's ports developing towards the sea.
