It is a national first-class open port and the most important river sea intermodal hub in the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta, as well as an important component of the Shanghai International Shipping Center. The port is located at the intersection of the "Golden Waterway" and the "Golden Coast", adjacent to coastal shipping routes to the east, the Yangtze River inland system to the south, and the inland hinterland to the west, with outstanding geographical advantages. The land transportation relies on the Shenhai Expressway, the Shanghai Suzhou Nantong Railway, and the Shugang Railway system to form an efficient collection and distribution network. The port mainly undertakes the circulation of bulk goods such as containers, iron ore, coal, LNG, and large equipment, and is an important logistics engine in the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta. Port Area Layout and Functions Nantong Port adopts a dual core layout of "upgrading along the river+breakthroughs along the coast". Old port areas such as Langshan and Rengang along the Yangtze River are transforming into green bulk cargo and container transit bases; The new seaport of Tongzhou Bay has become a strategic core growth pole, including Yangkou Port Area (LNG and petrochemical base), Lvsi Port Area (container and equipment manufacturing starting area), and Tongzhou Bay Core Port Area. The port area has 100000 to 200000 ton deepwater berths, equipped with automated shore cranes, oil and gas pipeline gallery systems, bulk cargo yards, and intelligent customs supervision systems. The port focuses on serving the industries of marine engineering, high-end equipment, petrochemicals, new materials, and electronic information. Airline routes and intermodal networks Nantong Port is constructing a global energy and bulk cargo ocean route, connecting core resource regions such as the Middle East, Australia, Russia, and Southeast Asia. As a hub for the transportation of bulk materials along the Yangtze River, imported iron ore and coal are continuously transported to inland areas such as Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Chongqing through the Yangtze River barge network after being unloaded in coastal areas. In terms of regional collaboration, Nantong Port has formed a high-frequency combination port system with Shanghai Port and Ningbo Zhoushan Port. Containers are quickly transported to ocean ports through river barges after completing customs clearance locally, achieving code linkage and integrated customs clearance. Relying on the Shugang Railway and inland waterway, the port has built a sea rail intermodal transportation and sea river intermodal transportation system, radiating to the central and western regions of Jiangsu and the Central Plains, significantly reducing comprehensive logistics costs. Comprehensive positioning Relying on the new seaport strategy of Tongzhou Bay, the advantageous location of the river sea intersection, and the integrated intermodal transportation system of the Yangtze River Delta, Nantong Port has become a key comprehensive logistics hub at the intersection of China's coastal areas and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and an important multimodal transportation strategic node in the global supply chain network.
