Port of Dalian
Founded in 1899 at the southern tip of Liaodong Peninsula in China’s Liaoning province, the Port of Dalian is the northernmost ice-free port in China. Ranked the 16th largest-container port in the world in 2018, Dalian handled 9.7 million TEUs that year. Dalian was also the largest multi-purpose port in northeast China, serving the seaports of north Asia, East Asia and the Pacific Rim. The port’s infrastructure included 160 km of specialized railway lines, 300,000 square meters of warehouses, 1.8 million square meters of stacking yards and over 1,000 units of various types of loading and discharging machinery and equipment. Of its 80 modern berths, 38 were deep water berths for vessels of over 10,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT).
Owned and managed by the state-owned Dalian Port Corporation Limited, the Port of Dalian consists of Daliangang, Dalianwan, Xianglujiao, Nianyuwan, Ganjinzi, Heizuizi, Si'ergou and Dayaowan port areas. In 2019, it provided shippers with established trading and shipping links with more than 300 ports in 160 countries and regions, covering 68 international and domestic container shipping routes.
