Freight traffic up
Print Edition
HANGZHOU Port handled more than 100 million tons of cargoes last year, up 6.8 percent from 2013. The city’s inland shipping business developed fast in the past five years, rising from 75 million tons in 2005 to 93.82 million tons in 2013.
Hangzhou is a major inland shipping hub south of the Yangtze River because of the Grand Canal, the Qiantang River and the Hangyong Canal. Hangzhou Port consists of nine smaller river ports in five counties and makes up 30 percent of the city’s total freight transport. Its navigable waterways totaled 2,005 kilometers by the end of last year. Fuel, coal, grain and building materials are shipped by river from Hangzhou to neighboring cities like Ningbo, Shaoxing and Shanghai.
