Sea transportation: close to Jiaxing’s nationally ranked port, north to Shanghai’s Yangshan ports, south to Ningbo’s Beilun port and Zhoushan’s port. Haiyan port district and Jiaxing Seaport, together with the combination of waterway transport, will make the Yangtze delta logistic center an intermodal transport hub. By the year 2010, there will be 27 deep water berths of 10,000 ton capacity and 12 berths of 1,000 ton capacity. The annual cargo handling capacity will reach more than 40 million tons, of which container throughput will account for 260,000 TEU per year.
