TIANJIN port plans to build 300,000-tonne shipping lanes to increase throughput to 560 million tonnes and 1.8 million TEU by 2015, says Tianjin executive vice Mayor Yang Dongliang.
Xinhua also reported that the port moved 411 million tonnes of cargo overall and 10 million TEU in 2010.
Tianjin will further enlarge the scale of port handling logistics and comprehensive service functions in the next five years, and will initially construct a logistics network covering all hinterlands by aiming at building itself as North China Shipping Centre, Mr Yang added.
