Xinhua reported that Hainan's provincial Port of Yangpu lifted 110,000 TEU last year up by 30% compared to the year before. The port's overall cargo tonnage increased to 23 million tonnes, more than double 2006's volume.
Yangpu port's new shipping line, connecting Hong Kong was launched in October last year and was said to have been responsible for the port's container growth last year.
Yangpu currently has 16 berths with a 5,000 tonne to 300,000 tonne capacity with nine moorings that can accommodate more than 10,000 tonne ships. The port has been approved by the state to set up a bonded port area, which has attracted a number of large terminal investors from home and abroad including Chinese shipping giant Cosco.
