CHINA SHIPPING TO DEVELOP JINZHOU BOX TERMINAL

Difficulties in reaching the tsunami stricken areas can be overcome with the use of the multimodal facilities available in Johor which is close to Sumatra. The port says the multimodal synergy between Senai and PTP will enable effective redistribution of essential relief items by sea or air.

China Shipping Terminal Development, a subsidiary of China Shipping, is to build a new container terminal at the northern Chinese port of Jinzhou with a 533 metre quay wall and alongside water depth of 15.4 metres. Annual throughput capacity will be in the region of 800,000 TEUs.
