Port of Guangzhou is the main seaport of Guangdong province, China. It handles coal.
Location
The port is in Guangzhou city, situated at the intersection of the Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang rivers in South China.
Background
The port is operated by Guangzhou Port Group Co. Ltd, which is a state-owned company. The company was established in 2004 from the former Guangzhou Harbor Bureau.[1] The port also incorporates the former Huangpu Port.[2][3][4] It currently consists of 4600 berths, 133 buoys and 2359 anchorages.[5] It is the largest transfer hub for coal in southern China.
The Xinsha Coal Terminal is at the Port of Guangzhou.[6] In 2010, the Guangzhou Port Group handled 42.5 million tonnes of coal.[7] In 2012 the port handled 78 million tonnes of coal.[8]
In 2017, the Guangzhou Port handled around 35.5 million tonnes of coal in August.[9]
In 2020, coal imports to the port of Guangzhou were temporarily halted by the central government after quotas were reached, as part of a national initiative that aimed to curb oversupply of imported coal.[10] It appears to have started back up again since these restrictions. The Guangzhou Port also agreed to join Shaoguan city in developing a new terminal at the Shaoguan port (likely not for coal), worth one billion RMB ($146.4 million USD), which is scheduled to be completed in late-2022.[11]
