Background
The port is operated by Nantong Port Group, of which PYI Corporation Limited owns a 45% interest. The port owns a shoreline of 4.2 km and a land mass of 1.5 sq km with 5 major terminals namely Tongzhou Terminal, Jianghai Terminal, Yaogang Terminal, Langshan Terminal and the Container Terminal. They together operate 24 total berths, including 2 berths for vessels of 150,000 tonnage, 5 berths for vessels of 70,000 tonnage, 4 berths for vessels of 50,000 tonnage and 3 berths for vessels of 10,000 tonnage.[1]
The main cargoes handled by Nantong Port Group are coal, iron ore, cement, and steel, among others. In 2009, Nantong Port had reached over 100 million tonnes annual throughput.[2]
According to a 2010 report, coal imports "soared 13 times" to 581,000 tonnes in the first two months of 2010. This throughput over a two-month period suggests that coal capacity for a full year at the port would be approximately 3.5 million tonnes.[3]
