Ningbo-Zhoushan port is bringing a new large-size container berth at Meishan container terminal into operation.
The container berth No.9,located at Meishan port area,is designed to accommodate 150,000 tonnes-class containerships.
In 2021,Meishan port area posted a container throughput of 6.68m teu,accounting for almost 20% of the total container handling volume of Ningbo-Zhoushan port. Container volume at Meishan port area exceeded 811,000teu in May,an increase of 31.1% year-on-year,hitting a new single-month high.
Opening up of No.9 berth could shorten berthing time for domestic vessels,which will be used for international ships soon after,said the port operator.
The No.6-No.10 berth projects at Meishan port will be constructed into the top-tier container terminals domestically,acting a key role for inland and foreign trading cargo transportation,especially for Yangtze river delta.
