GONGKOU

Gongkou Port is located on the southern coast of Zhao'an County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, China, and is a port node along the coast of Zhao'an Bay. Gongkou Port is located in the southern area of Zhao'an Bay, close to the Gongkou Peninsula. The marine functional zoning data released by the Fujian Provincial Government includes the "Gongkou Port Class II Zone", which is located on the west side of the Gongkou Peninsula and northeast of the line connecting Gongkou Port and Tiehu Port, indicating that the area has clear port and sea area utilization attributes. Zhao'an Bay is located in the southern part of Fujian Province, near the border between Fujian and Guangdong. It is one of the important bays extending from the coast of Fujian to the direction of Guangdong. Gongkou Port relies on the waters within the bay and can form connections with other ports in Zhao'an Bay and surrounding coastal transportation nodes. Port conditions The Zhao'an Bay where Gongkou Port is located has obvious characteristics of bay area ports. Compared to ports directly facing the open sea, the waters within the bay can provide relatively stable sea conditions for ship berthing and regional water transportation. The marine functional zoning of Fujian Province has clearly designated the sea area where Gongkou Port is located as a port related functional area, while also delineating functions such as aquaculture, tourism, and marine fisheries in the surrounding sea areas. This reflects that the area is not a single port development zone, but rather combines multiple marine utilization scenarios such as ports, fisheries, and coastal fisheries. Regional transportation Zhao'an County, where Gongkou Port is located, is situated in the coastal area at the border of Fujian and Guangdong, with the characteristic of connecting the southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong coastal regions. Ports can establish transportation connections with ports in Zhangzhou, Xiamen, and eastern Guangdong through regional coastal water transportation networks. From the perspective of regional transportation system, Gongkou Port is more suitable for understanding as a local coastal port and regional water transportation node, rather than a large container hub port. Its service scope is mainly related to the transportation of goods, port operations, and port activities in Zhao'an and surrounding coastal areas. Port History Gongkou Port has certain historical port attributes. The existing port code data indicates CNGGK as the port location of Zhao'an County, Fujian Province, and states "original second-class port". This means that Gongkou Port used to undertake external water transportation and port related functions, and has a certain historical position in the coastal external transportation system of Zhao'an County. It should be noted that "original second-class ports" do not necessarily mean that they still maintain the same level of port openness. Therefore, when planning international freight transportation, the specific customs clearance, ship entry and exit, and port business situation should be based on the latest customs, port management departments, and port operation information. Port Information At present, there is relatively little disclosure of indicators such as the number of berths, dock level, designed throughput capacity, channel depth, maximum berthing vessel type, and fixed route in the public database of Gongkou Port. Therefore, these data are not suitable for speculation. From the perspective of logistics information recognition, CNGGK is the standard location code for Gongkou Port in international transportation and logistics data, which can be used for location recognition in freight documents, port databases, ships, and logistics information systems. The national standard data also determined the spelling of the Roman letters for "Gongkou" as Gongkou. Overall, Gongkou Port (CNGGK) is a regional port node along the coast of Zhao'an Bay in Zhangzhou, Fujian. Its main feature is to rely on the coastal location and port sea conditions of Zhao'an Bay, connect the transportation networks of southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong, and have historical port attributes. For international logistics users, CNGGK mainly has the value of port location identification and regional water transportation nodes.
