Port of Qingdao is a seaport in Shandong, People's Republic of China. It handles coal.
The Port of Qingdao contains three major areas: the Old Port, Huangdao Oil Port, and Qianwan New Port.
Location
The port is on the Yellow Sea in the vicinity of Qingdao.
Background
The Port of Qingdao handles a wide range of general, bulk, and project cargoes. The major cargoes handled include containers, iron ore, coal, crude oil, and grain.[1] According to Port Technology, the Qingdao Port is the fifth biggest in China and eighth busiest in the world.[2]
In 2020, the Dongjiakou Port Area was added to the Qingdao Port as a multipurpose hub to optimize logistics, saving the port $14.2 million (100 million yuan) a year in logistics costs.[2] In 2021, it became the site of the world's first suspended monorail capable of carrying fully loaded 20 and 40-foot containers, which was under construction since 2020.[3]
Coal handling
The port's coal terminal has annual coal export capacity of 15 million tonnes per annum.[4][5]
The port provides metal ore and coal handling services primarily through nine dedicated berths at the Qianwan Port Area; six multi-purpose berths at the Qianwan Port Area; and five multi-purpose berths at the Dagang Port Area. Customers are primarily domestic and international metal and mining companies and domestic power plants and steel plants.[6]
