Beibu Gulf ports set to be busy

THE handling capacity of ports in south China's Beibu Gulf may hit 200 million tons this year and will rise to 357 million tons by the end of 2015, a government official said yesterday.

"The Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port will partner with internationally renowned ports and transportation enterprises to further its development and improve management," said Chen Ruixian, deputy director of the management committee of the Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.

The Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port, composed of the Fangcheng, Qinzhou and Beihai ports, conjoins China's southern and southwestern economic rims with countries in the regional bloc of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It is seen an important outlet for cargo from China's hinterland bound for ASEAN countries.

The port cluster has more than 30 container shipment routes that link with over 200 ports in the world.

"The port is building itself into an international shipment hub and logistics center," said Ye Shixiang, board chairman of the Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group Ltd.
