JINGZHOU

Jingzhou Port is located in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, China. It is a national first-class open port and an important comprehensive inland port in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The port relies on the geographical advantage of the intersection of the Yangtze River Golden Waterway and the Haoji Railway, and is a key hub port built by Hubei Port Group along the Yangtze River. It plays an important role in serving the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the rise of the central region, and the construction of the national comprehensive transportation system. Jingzhou Port is operated and managed by Jingzhou Port Group, a subsidiary of Hubei Port Group. The port areas mainly include Yanka Port Area, Jiangling Port Area, Liulin Port Area, Paima Port Area, etc. Among them, Yanka Port Area is the core port area for container transportation and foreign trade business, with customs supervision places and bonded logistics centers (Type B), undertaking domestic and foreign trade container, general cargo and river sea intermodal transportation business; Jiangling Port Area relies on the Haoji Railway to develop intermodal transportation of bulk cargo such as coal, ore, and fertilizer, and is an important transit node for China's "North to South Coal Transportation"; Liulin Port Area and Paima Port Area mainly undertake the transportation of building materials, grain, mineral products, and miscellaneous goods, serving the development of regional industries. Relying on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, Jingzhou Port has built modern container terminals, bulk cargo terminals, and specialized warehousing facilities, which can carry out transportation of various goods such as containers, coal, ore, steel, grain, chemical raw materials, building materials, etc., and provide comprehensive logistics services such as bonded warehousing, logistics distribution, supply chain management, and multimodal transport. The port area is equipped with large bridge cranes, dump trucks, intelligent storage yards, and customs supervision facilities, continuously improving its comprehensive loading and unloading and logistics service capabilities. The biggest advantage of Jingzhou Port lies in the intermodal transportation system between the Haoji Railway and the Yangtze River Golden Waterway. The Haoji Railway is an important heavy-duty coal transportation railway in China. Coal resources from the north can be transported directly to the Jiangling Port area via railway, achieving seamless connection between railway, port, and water transportation. Then, they can be transported to central, eastern, and southern China via the Yangtze River, greatly improving energy transportation efficiency. Relying on this advantage, Jingzhou Port has become an important coal storage and distribution base and national energy transportation node in central China, as well as an important bulk cargo distribution center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In terms of route layout, Jingzhou Port has formed a river sea intermodal network covering the Yangtze River trunk line and coastal ports. Regularly opening container ships to ports along the Yangtze River such as Wuhan, Jiujiang, Nanjing, Taicang, and Shanghai, and connecting major global shipping markets through international hubs such as Shanghai Port. At the same time, the port relies on the Haoji Railway, Jiaoliu Railway, and regional expressway network to form a multimodal transportation system for iron and water transportation covering Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and other regions, providing convenient and efficient logistics channels for enterprises in the central and western regions. The hinterland of Jingzhou Port covers the Jianghan Plain and the western Hunan Hubei region, with a focus on serving industries such as modern grain and oil processing, equipment manufacturing, new materials, fine chemicals, building materials, energy, and agricultural product processing. Among them, relying on the abundant agricultural resources of the Jianghan Plain, ports undertake important transportation tasks for grain, oil, and agricultural products; At the same time, a large amount of production materials such as coal, ore, and steel enter the Central China region through ports, providing support for regional industrial development. In recent years, with the continuous promotion of the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the integration of port resources in Hubei, Jingzhou Port has continuously improved its container transportation system, multimodal transport network, and smart port construction, and its comprehensive service capabilities have continued to enhance. With the geographical advantage of the intersection of the Yangtze River Golden Waterway and the Haoji Railway, a complete river rail water intermodal transportation system, and continuously improving comprehensive logistics service capabilities, Jingzhou Port has developed into an important comprehensive hub port in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as an important logistics node connecting the North China Energy Base, central manufacturing industry, and coastal ports.
